Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Chris Godwin, Michael Thomas, Cooper Kupp, Amari Cooper and Tyreek Hill top my Week 10 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for 2019.

Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, Tyler Lockett and Stefon Diggs round out my top 10 options for Week 10.

If you don't have an elite option, there are plenty of capable pass catchers with great Week 10 matchups. Be sure to check out my weekly waiver wire article if you are in need of a new player at the position.

You should target players who have a good chance to score a touchdown and get a lot of looks from their respective quarterbacks, when considering who to start at wide receiver.

You should remove Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins players from your lineup, as those teams have Week 10 byes.

Here are some of my favorite players in this week's rankings:

TOP SHELF

Chris Godwin is the No. 2 wide receiver in fantasy football, trailing only Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate Mike Evans. I have Godwin as my top option for Week 10 as the Buccaneers face the Arizona Cardinals, a defense allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Godwin has cooled off a bit since his stretch of averaging at least 125 receiving yards and scoring four times in three games, but remains an elite WR1 down the stretch. He has turned out to be one of the best value picks from fantasy football drafts.

New Orleans Saints star Michael Thomas has also been dominant this season. Thomas leads the league with 875 yards and 73 catches this season. He is my No. 2 option in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, a unit tied for allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

SNEAKY PLAYS

Golden Tate made one of the best catches of the season in Week 9. He is my No. 19 option at wide receiver in Week 10. The New York Giants face the New York Jets, a unit allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Tate has just one score this season, but should be a great WR2 option against this beatable secondary. I expect at least six catches and 80 receiving yards from the veteran pass catcher.

LONGSHOTS

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is my No. 21 option in Week 10. Ridley has four touchdowns this season, but hasn't scored since Week 6. He hauled in four catches for 70 yards in Week 8 before a Week 9 bye.

I'm expecting Ridley to be highly-involved in the Falcons' game plan in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Ridley should be a solid WR2/WR3 play this week with a floor of at least 70 receiving yards and has a great chance to score a touchdown.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal will have to step up after the team lost T.Y. Hilton to a calf injury. I have Pascal as my No. 27 option for Week 10. He can be used as a bye week fill in WR3 against the Miami Dolphins. Pascal has three touchdowns in his last three games. The Dolphins are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. Pascal might not post huge numbers, but he should log at least 50 receiving yards and has a chance to score against the Dolphins.
