3) Puka Nacua and Davante Adams vs. Seahawks
I guess I’m going to continue this trend of talking about two wide receivers from the same team in one write-up. Nacua is the #1 in LA, but Davante Adams is scoring touchdowns every week. The targets have been split fairly evenly over the last four games that they’ve played together, so they really have become a two-headed monster for the Rams and Matthew Stafford. The Seahawks rank 17th in the league against the pass, but have a DVOA ranking of 9th in the league against the WR position. It will be interesting to see which receiver gets Riq Woolen and which gets Devon Witherspoon. Woolen has typically been the one that opponents have picked on this year, and if he is tasked with covering Adams, it could be the veteran that has the bigger day of the two Ram receivers. Either way, play either/both of these guys if you have them.
4) CeeDee Lamb vs. Las Vegas

Lamb returns after the Cowboys‘ bye week and will face a Raiders defense that is ranked smack in the middle of the league against the pass (#16). He looked fully healthy when we last saw him, so concerns over an early-season ankle injury are long gone in our rearview mirrors. Fire him up for this Monday Night matchup, as I expect the Cowboys to come into Sin City looking to run the score up if they can. I know it’s getting a little tiresome, but here’s another 2-for-1 tidbit. George Pickens is also a fantastic start this week. He’s not quite in the top 10, but he’s close.
5) Justin Jefferson vs. Chicago
Jefferson and his teammate, Jordan Addison, were targeted frequently in Week 10 by J.J. McCarthy. Neither Vikings receiver had a very good day, however, as both were unable to connect on the majority of their looks from the young QB. Jefferson converted 12 targets into just 4 catches for 37 yards without a score, while Addison converted only 3 of his 11 looks for 35 yards. This week, they get a more favorable matchup against a Bears secondary that is ranked 26th in the league against the pass and 29th overall against the WR position.
While it was Jalen Nailor who led Minnesota wideouts in catches, yards, and touchdowns last week, it should be Jefferson this week. Keep an eye on Addison as well, as it was Tee Higgins that had a monster game against Chicago when the Bengals took on the Bears back in Week 9. Since this is a top 10 list and not a top 25, we are going with JJ at number 5, with Addison on the outside looking in.
