The NFL season has reached its midway point, and it’s time to set your lineups for Week 10 of the fantasy football season. Four teams have a bye in Week 10, meaning receivers on the Packers, Seahawks, Raiders, and Browns are unavailable to fantasy managers. Additionally, there are many injuries to keep track of including Nico Collins, A.J. Brown, Drake London, Tee Higgins, Drake London, and Xavier Legette. Below are the wide receiver rankings, tiers, and analysis for Week 10.
Wide Receivers Rankings for Week 10 Fantasy Football
Tier 1: Alpha Wide Receivers
1. Ja’Marr Chase
2. Justin Jefferson
3. Nico Collins**
4. Amon-Ra St. Brown
5. Malik Nabers
6. Tyreek Hill
7. CeeDee Lamb
Chase had a quieter game in Week 9, managing 11.3 fantasy points—his lowest of the season. However, in Week 10, he faces the Ravens, a team with one of the league’s weakest passing defenses. Chase had a massive 41.3-point performance against Baltimore earlier this year, and with another high-scoring shootout on the horizon, he looks primed to bounce back. Chase should be locked into fantasy lineups, as he reclaims the top spot of the wide receiver rankings for Week 10.
**Collins is expected to make his return from injury in Week 10, and the Texans will look to him to fill the gap left by Stefon Diggs’ absence. Collins faces a favorable matchup against the Lions, who are among the top five defenses for most fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. If Collins is at full strength, he has strong potential to deliver a big day for both the Texans and fantasy managers eager to see him back in action.
Tier 2: Low-End WR1s to High-End WR2s
8. Garrett Wilson
9. Deebo Samuel
10. A.J. Brown**
11. Cooper Kupp
12. Drake London**
13. Brian Thomas Jr.
14. Puka Nacua
15. Zay Flowers
Wilson had his best game of the season, scoring 30 fantasy points. He had nine catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns, including an incredible one-handed catch in the endzone. Wilson is quietly WR3 on the season and is moving up the wide receiver rankings for Week 10.

Kupp had a big game in Week 9 after Nacua was ejected. Kupp finished with 14 targets, 11 receptions, and 104 yards. Even when both Kupp and Nacua are on the field, head coach Sean McVay is very creative in getting both of them the ball, which makes both great top-15 plays for Week 10.
**Brown and London are both questionable with injuries after leaving their Week 9 games early.
Tier 3: Solid WR2s
16. Tee Higgins**
17. Terry McLaurin
18. DeVonta Smith
19. Marvin Harrison Jr.
20. Chris Olave**
21. George Pickens
22. Ladd McConkey
23. Davante Adams
Smith had an impressive touchdown catch, leading to a great fantasy day in which he scored 18.7 fantasy points. The concern for the Eagles is A.J. Brown left the game with a knee injury. The injury is not expected to be serious, but if he were to miss time, Smith would jump up in the wide receiver rankings. Either way, Smith and the Eagles have a great matchup against the Cowboys, who have been struggling mightily. Expect Smith to have a great game in Week 10.

Adams finally broke out with the Jets in Week 9, scoring 22.1 fantasy points on seven catches, 91 yards, and one touchdown. He left the game with a concussion before returning to score the touchdown. Adams should be able to continue his momentum in Week 10.
**Higgins and Olave are questionable with injuries.
Tier 4: WR3s
24. Khalil Shakir
25. Calvin Ridley
26. Josh Downs
27. Darnell Mooney
28. Tank Dell
29. Xavier Legette**
30. DeAndre Hopkins
Mooney is on a hot streak, scoring 18.6 and 19.8 fantasy points in his last two outings, with over 80 receiving yards and a touchdown in each game. With Drake London leaving Week 9’s game due to a hip injury (though it’s reportedly not serious), Mooney’s value could rise significantly if London misses Week 10. Regardless, Mooney remains a reliable WR3 option against a favorable matchup, making him a strong consideration for fantasy lineups this week.
**Legette had another solid game without Diontae Johnson on the Panthers. He scored 13.9 fantasy points after scoring 13.4 in the previous week. He only had four catches in each of the two games, but he has scored a touchdown in each of them. However, he was dealing with a wrist injury, but he should be fine. If he is on the field, he has turned into a dependable WR3 option.
Tier 5: Flex Plays
31. Xavier Worthy
32. Jaylen Waddle
33. Courtland Sutton
34. DJ Moore
35. Rome Odunze
36. Demario Douglas
37. Jordan Addison
38. Jauan Jennings
39. Ricky Pearsall
40. Keenan Allen
Sutton has been playing very well over the last two weeks. He has double-digit targets in each of the last two weeks, which has led to 17.12 and 23.28 fantasy points, respectively. He also threw a touchdown to Bo Nix in Week 9. Sutton has a tough matchup against the Chiefs in Week 10, but he is a viable flex play for the matchup.
Douglas was a PPR merchant in Week 9, catching seven passes for just 35 yards. That led to a solid 10.5 fantasy points in full PPR leagues. Douglas is turning into a solid flex option in PPR leagues with Drake Maye as quarterback.
