Fantasy Football: Week 10 Wide Receiver Rankings

MIAMI, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- You won't see names like Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, Marvin Jones, or T.Y. Hilton in fantasy football lineups this weekend.

That's because four more teams are serving Week 10 byes. If you need to replace fantasy football studs on the Oakland Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, or Buffalo Bills, take a look at my top 50 wide receivers for the week. You can also view my add/drops for the week and more positional rankings in the links below.

TOP SHELF

Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery and quarterback Jay Cutler travel to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are tied with the Atlanta Falcons for allowing the most fantasy points to wide receivers and have allowed a dozen touchdowns to the position. Although Jeffery has just one game with more than 100 receiving yards this season, I think his rapport with Cutler will prove explosive down the stretch. Cleveland Browns playmakers Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman are both worth starting against the Baltimore Ravens, a unit allowing the second-most fantasy points to the position. In three of his previous four games, Pryor has either scored a touchdown or had more than 100 receiving yards. I have Coleman ranked as a low-end WR2 in deep leagues and Pryor remains a season-long WR2.

SNEAKY PLAYS

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews is a high-end WR2 for me this week against the Falcons. The Falcons have allowed the second-most touchdowns in the NFL to wide receivers this season. Matthews is on pace for 80-plus receptions and more than 1,000 receiving yards this season. You should start your Arizona Cardinals wide receivers this week. Coming out of the bye week, Cardinals pass-catches get to face a San Francisco 49ers defense allowing the most touchdowns to wide receivers. I have Larry Fitzgerald ranked as a high-end WR2 and J.J. Nelson as a low end WR2 in deeper leagues and a top end WR3 in shallow leagues. Fitzgerald has at least five receptions in every game this season, while Nelson, who was just promoted to the team's No. 2 wide receiver, exploded for eight catches and two scores before the Cardinals' bye week.

LONGSHOTS

Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace is also worth a look this week as a WR2. Wallace and the Ravens face a Browns team allowing the third-most touchdowns to wide receivers. Wallace has three consecutive games with more than 97 receiving yards and had 14 catches for 244 yards and a score in his last two contests. Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews was in my waiver wire article as a good pickup for Week 10. He also might be worth a start if you are in a bind. Matthews gets to face a Green Bay Packers secondary tied for allowing the fourth-most touchdowns to wide receivers. I have Matthews ranked as a low-end WR3 in deeper leagues. He is worth a start if you are looking for a bye-week replacement and you miss out on other hot waiver wire adds.
