Top daily fantasy football wide receiver plays for Week 10

Welcome to Week 10 of the Daily Fantasy season. Pricing has stabilized as trends have emerged but there are still bargains to be found and even some higher-priced options that will go under-owned and can make a difference in your lineups. This article looks at some of the projected lesser-owned plays at wide receiver who could provide huge boosts to your tournament lineups, as well as some trap plays to avoid.

Crowder was going to be a top pick in this column even before news came down that DeSean Jackson might not play. If Jackson does sit, Crowder’s targets should spike, making him a tremendous value play at $6,000. The Vikings aren’t playing defense (or anything else) at the same high level as a few weeks ago, making the Washington offense a sneaky play.

Inman has only had one big game this season, but with Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams playing hurt the past three weeks, Inman has seen a steady supply of targets. Even if the overall production has been modest. This week, however, all indications are that Benjamin won’t play, giving Inman at least as many targets, but in better situations to exploit them. Especially against a suspect Miami pass defense. He should be off-the-radar, which enhances his tournament appeal.

Desmond Trufant is out of the Atlanta lineup this weekend, making the Eagles pass attack much more desirable. Matthews and Carson Wentz have been clicking lately, with Matthews getting 24 targets over the past two games. This one could be a shootout, and Matthews will be active against the short-handed secondary. His price does not match this golden opportunity.

All Rishard does is catch touchdowns. Matthews has five TD grabs over his past five games, including two last week against the Chargers. Over the past three weeks, Matthews’ FanDuel point totals look like this: 5.7, 11.8, 21.3. That is not to suggest he’s about to go for 42 points this week in the natural progression, but he is becoming a legit outside threat and the Packers can be beat through the air. Don’t sleep on Matthews at that price.

It is never easy to recommend a Rams pass catcher, but this week sets up nicely for volume. The Jets are super stingy against the run, and Todd Gurley is a little banged up. But as good as the Jets are against the run, the opposite is true against the pass. Case Keenum doesn’t strike a whole lot of fear in anyone. He should be chucking it and Britt has three touchdowns over his past three games. It’s a risky play, but one that likely comes with low ownership.

Randall Cobb is off the injury report and James Starks likely puts Ty Montgomery back into more of a receiver role. That doesn’t bode well for Adams to get the kind of target love he’s enjoyed the past few weeks. His price has come way up. He’s pretty much the opposite of value this week.

It certainly looks like Robinson is starting to heat up. He’s garnered 27 targets over the past two games and scored his first touchdown in four weeks last time out. But the Texans are one of the top pass defenses in the league and until Robinson truly has a monster game, he’s a fade for me.
