The weeks just keep flying by in the NFL and we are heading into the 10th week of the season. There were some standout performances from a few wide receivers in fantasy football in Week 9, and they're worth noting before we look at the Week 10 start 'em sit 'em receivers.
Among the few, two of them came from the Seattle Seahawks. Both Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf aided in Russell Wilson's efforts to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 40-34.
The duo of Lockett and Metcalf combined for a whopping 67.2 fantasy points in Week 9. What receivers could help you win your fantasy football matchup this week?
All of the picks in this article are based on PPR (points per reception) scoring and can be used in season-long or DFS (daily fantasy sports) leagues. Now, let's get into the start 'em sit 'em receivers for Week 10.
WRs to Start in Week 10
Jets' Jamison Crowder (vs. Giants): There haven't been many positives for the New York Jets this season but Jamison Crowder has definitely performed well when given the chance. When targeted more than five times, Crowder has scored 15 or more fantasy points in three out of those four games.
The Jets' most reliable wide receiver will get a chance to have another stat-filled performance against the New York Giants this week. The Giants have surrendered 1,760 yards (most in the NFL) and 13 touchdowns to WRs (tied for second-most in the NFL).
Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald (vs. Buccaneers): Larry Fitzgerald got off to a hot start to begin the season but has since fizzled out. After scoring double-digit points in five of his first six games, he has combined for only 12.8 fantasy points in the past three weeks.
If there is going to be any week he can return to fantasy relevancy, it will come against a woeful Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. The Buccaneers have allowed 45.5 fantasy points per game to WRs (most in the NFL).
49ers' Emmanuel Sanders (vs. Seahawks): The San Francisco 49ers decided to make a move to acquire Emmanuel Sanders ahead of the NFL trade deadline. The veteran wideout has now caught a touchdown in his first two games in the Bay Area.
Sanders will have a decent chance to find the end zone once again against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks just allowed a combined 49.9 fantasy points to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in Week 9.
Other WRs to Start: Giants' Golden Tate (vs. Jets), Chargers' Mike Williams (vs. Raiders), Colts' Zach Pascal (vs. Dolphins), Cowboys' Michael Gallup (vs. Vikings)
WRs to Sit in Week 10
Browns' Jarvis Landry (vs. Bills): Not many people envisioned Jarvis Landry scoring nearly the same amount of fantasy points as Odell Beckham Jr. but that's exactly what's transpired. Landry has 98.5 points while Beckham Jr. has only managed to get 102.3 in his first season with the Cleveland Browns.
Despite his somewhat consistent product, the Browns are an absolute mess and it is hard to trust anyone on their roster. To make matters worse, Landry will face a stingy Buffalo Bills defense that has only given up two touchdowns to WRs (second-fewest in the NFL).
Chiefs' Sammy Watkins (vs. Titans): When the season began, it seemed as if we were going to finally get a consistent version of Sammy Watkins after scoring 46.8 points in Week 1. Since then, the speedy wide receiver has only posted one game of more than 11 fantasy points.
Watkins was able to score 13.3 fantasy points in Week 9 but it's hard to imagine him repeating that again the Tennessee Titans this week. The Titans defense has surrendered only 32.4 fantasy points per game to WRs (1oth fewest in the NFL).
Raiders' Tyrell Williams (vs. Chargers): The Oakland Raiders signed Tyrell Williams this past offseason and the decision to do so has definitely paid dividends. Williams scored a touchdown in his first five games in Oakland before scoring only 7.8 fantasy points in Week 9.
In Week 10, Williams will get his first chance to face his former team in the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers will likely have Casey Hayward shadow the Raiders' go-to receiver for the majority of the game.
