Fantasy football enthusiasts, it’s that time of the week again as we dive into the Week 10 Start em and Sit em recommendations, focusing on the dynamic world of wide receivers (WR). As we inch closer to Sunday’s kickoffs, let’s dissect the players who can make or break your fantasy lineup. Remember, these insights are based on the latest information available, and the landscape can change.
Must-Start WR: Mike Evans vs. Tennessee
Mike Evans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ wide receiver, is on a historic quest, marching toward 1,000 receiving yards for his 10th straight season. With 594 receiving yards in the first eight games, Evans has been a target machine, seeing at least six targets in seven of those contests. Baker Mayfield looks for him, especially in the Red Zone, where Evans has five touchdown grabs, ranking seventh in the league. Evans has produced 13 or more fantasy points in three straight games, and the Tennessee Titans have allowed the 10th most passing yards. It’s time to give Evans the respect he deserves in your lineup.
Tyler Lockett: The Unsung Hero
Tyler Lockett, often overshadowed by his teammate DK Metcalf, is a must-start this week as he faces the Washington Commanders. Only the Philadelphia Eagles have allowed more receiving touchdowns to wide receivers this season than the Commanders. Lockett has been a Red Zone favorite for Geno Smith, with three receiving touchdowns to his name. In the last game against the Ravens, Lockett had a 32% Target share, proving his reliability. It’s time to stop underestimating Lockett’s fantasy potential.
Brandon Aiyuk: A Bounce-Back Opportunity
The San Francisco 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk is set to shine against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have been generous to wide receivers, allowing the 12th most fantasy points per game and eight receiving touchdowns this season. With Kyle Shanahan having a week to prepare, Aiyuk is poised for a bounce-back game. Aiyuk’s big-play ability makes him a threat, averaging 17.7 yards per reception. Keep an eye on him for Week 10.

Must-Sit WRs: Devante Adams and Jakobi Meyers
It’s time for a Vegas showdown, but not for your fantasy lineup. Both Devante Adams and Jakobi Meyers should be on your bench this week. The New York Jets boast one of the best secondaries in the league, making this a challenging matchup for wide receivers. New York has allowed just 21.46% fantasy points to WRs this season and the sixth-fewest passing yards per game. Even though these are star names, there are better matchups to explore in Week 10.
Steer Clear of Zay Flowers
Zay Flowers faces the formidable Cleveland Browns secondary, making him a risky start for fantasy managers. While Flowers is a talented receiver, the Browns’ secondary has been stingy, allowing just 24.45 points per game to WRs. Considering Flowers’ recent performance, including a one-catch, 11-yard game, it’s time to explore other options for your lineup.
Tee Higgins: A Surprising Sit
Tee Higgins, despite an impressive performance last week, is a surprising sit recommendation. Jamar Chase is emerging as the Cincinnati Bengals’ primary target, and Higgins’ role has diminished in recent weeks. Facing the Houston Texans, who have limited wide receivers to less than 29 fantasy points per game, it’s time to exercise caution with Higgins.
In the ever-changing landscape of fantasy football, making the right decisions at the wide receiver position can be the key to victory.
