Week 10 WR Rankings will be updated throughout the week

Week 10 --- QB Rankings --- RB Rankings --- WR Rankings --- TE Rankings --- D Rankings --- Waiver Pickups --- Picks & Predictions --- Player Injury Updates


1. Calvin Johnson - Det = @Chi ----- Not a great matchup for Calvin and the Lions offense this week, but the Bears defense is worse against the pass than the run. Expect Calvin Johnson to be his typical self this week, as he looks to rack up stats in the range of 75-125 receiving yards and 1 touchdown.

2. Steve Smith - Car = Ten ----- Solid matchup and fresh off the bye, Steve Smith should connect with Cam Newton for several catches in this game. Expecting anything between 75-150 receiving yards is likely, and a touchdown is very possible as well.

3. Greg Jennings - GB = Min ----- With the Packers likely to not find much success running the ball against the Vikings defense this week, look for the offense to air the ball out more than they already do. Jennings is always a good bet to rack up stats in the range of 75-125 receiving yards and 1 touchdown.

4. Vincent Jackson - SD = Oak ----- Jackson broke out with a huge 3 touchdown performance last week against a struggling Packers secondary, and if Philip Rivers can continue to break out of his early season funk, then Jackson could easily be looking at another 100 plus receiving yards and 1-2 touchdowns this week as well.

5. DeSean Jackson - Phi = Ari ----- The all or nothing boom potential of DeSean Jackson should get the green light this week against a very susceptible Arizona secondary. It seems reasonable to expect Jackson to break off a long TD reception in this game.

6. Jeremy Maclin - Phi = Ari ----- The safer more reliable Eagles WR to rack up the yardage numbers, Maclin should enjoy plenty of success against the Arizona secondary in this game.

7. Dez Bryant - Dal = Buf ----- With Miles Austin out, Dez Bryant needs to finally show up in Dallas. A matchup against a so-so Buffalo Bills pass defense should allow for plenty of room to get open in the secondary for Bryant in this game.

8. Mike Wallace - Pit = @Cin ----- Not an easy matchup, but there is still plenty of potential for the speedy Mike Wallace in this game.

9. Roddy White - Atl = NO ----- Just not reliable right now. It seems like one of these weeks he will bust out with a huge game, and that will be the time fantasy football teams decide they have had enough and Roddy will be on their bench that week. So keep him starting.....for this week at least.

10. Wes Welker - NE = @NYJ ----- Tough matchup, but the underneath route for Welker could still make him reception happy for Tom Brady. Just don't expect a touchdown from him in this game.

11. Stevie Johnson - Buf = @Dal ----- No Revis Island this week for Stevie Johnson should allow him to hook up several times with Fitzpatrick in this game. Plenty of potential for 100 receiving yards and 1 touchdown.

12. Laurent Robinson - Dal = Buf ----- 11% ----- The primary beneficiary of Miles Austin's hamstring injury, Robinson has developed a quick report with Tony Romo. If Austin cannot play in this weeks game, look for Robinson to get the start opposite of Dez Bryant, and the potential for 100 receiving yards is definitely within reach for Robinson this week.

13. Julio Jones - Atl = NO ----- Two long TD receptions last week just goes to show that Jones is almost another version of DeSean Jackson in terms of fantasy football reliability. Boom or nothing....? Well luckily for fantasy teams this week, the boom potential is looming large once again for this game.

14. Marques Colston - NO = @Atl ----- With Drew Brees throwing you the ball, there is always potential.

15. Dwayne Bowe - KC = Den ----- Solid matchup for the Chiefs passing attack, but if Bowe gets Champ Bailey covering him, then it is very possible that fellow Chiefs WRs Steve Breaston and Jonathan Baldwin put up better stats than Bowe in this game.

16. Santonio Holmes - NYJ = NE ----- As usual, the weak Patriots secondary offers a nice upside potential for Holmes in this game.

17. Brandon Lloyd - StL = @Cle ----- Could be higher, but Browns cornerback Joe Haden will likey be blanketing Lloyd in this game. However I still think Lloyd is worth the start in fantasy football lineups.

18. Jordy Nelson - GB = Min

19. Hakeem Nicks - NYG = @SF ----- injury ?

20. Andre Johnson - Hou = @TB ----- injury ? - OUT - WILL NOT PLAY

21. Anquan Boldin - Bal = @Sea

22. Brandon Marshall - Mia = Was

23. Steve Breaston - KC = Den ----- 35% ----- With more popular Chiefs names like Dwayne Bowe and Jonathan Baldwin getting all the attention from fantasy football teams, Breaston has quietly proven to be a very reliable and steady receiving option in the Chiefs offense. A matchup against the Denver Broncos this week, where Bowe will likely be covered by Champ Bailey, Breaston could easily lead the Chiefs in receiving yards again this week. If you are choosing between Jonathan Baldwin and Steve Breaston for your lineup this week, I would go with Breaston.

24. Pierre Garcon - Ind = Jac

25. Victor Cruz - NYG = @SF

26. Plaxico Burress - NYJ = NE ----- injury ?

27. Mario Manningham - NYG = @SF

28. Larry Fitzgerald - Ari = @Phi

29. Reggie Wayne - Ind = Jac

30. AJ Green - Cin = Pit

31. Antonio Brown - Pit = @Cin ----- 68% ----- While defenses focus on covering Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown has taken full advantage of his playing time and opportunities and is looking like Ben Roethlisberger's favorite target right now. After tallying 5 receptions for 109 receiving yards against a tough Baltimore Ravens defense last week, a matchup against the Bengals this week could definitely have Brown notching another 100 receiving yards this week as well.

32. Malcom Floyd - SD = Oak ----- 52% ----- injury ? - OUT - WILL NOT PLAY ----- A hip injury forced Floyd to miss last weeks game, but with Philip Rivers showing signs of breaking out of his funk, this is a good matchup for Floyd and the Chargers passing attack if Floyd is indeed healthy enough to play in this game.

33. Percy Harvin - Min = @GB

34. Mike Thomas - Jac = @Ind ----- 44% ----- Thomas has been a huge disappointment for fantasy football teams so far this season, but I guess that should have been expected with rookie Blaine Gabbert throwing the ball. However this weeks matchup against a poor Colts defense could lead to a solid game for Thomas if fantasy teams are looking for a gamble play.

35. Lance Moore - NO = @Atl ----- injury ?

36. Nate Washington - Ten = @Car

37. Torrey Smith - Bal = @Sea ----- 44% ----- With Lee Evans no where to be found in Baltimore because of injury, Smith has developed into one of Joe Flacco's favorite targets. A matchup against a so-so Seattle secondary this week could have Smith breaking out a long TD.

38. Jabar Gaffney - Was = @Mia

39. Sidney Rice - Sea = Bal

40. Greg Little - Cle = StL ----- 18% ----- Greg has done very little in the stat department over the past couple of weeks, but a matchup against a poor Rams defense this week could easily change his fortunes. Anything in the 50-100 receiving yard range is possible, as well as his first NFL career touchdown.

41. Michael Crabtree - SF = NYG

42. Jacoby Ford - Oak = @SD ----- 19% ----- Ford was finally healthy and broke out with an excellent game last week as Carson Palmers favorite target. A matchup this week against a so-so Chargers secondary gives the speedy Ford a definite advantage this week as well.

43. Mike Williams - TB = Hou

44. Eric Decker - Den = @KC

45. James Jones - GB = Min ----- 55% ----- With the Packers likely to struggle running the ball against a solid Vikings run defense this week, it makes sense that more 4 or 5 wide receiver sets will be used in this game. Enter James Jones as a solid flex start this week.

46. David Nelson - Buf = @Dal

47. Johnny Knox - Chi = Det

48. Jonathan Baldwin - KC = Den ----- 37% ----- Tons of potential, but he just is not reliable yet. If you are looking for a boom gamble start, Baldwin is your guy at WR this week.

49. Jerome Simpson - Cin = Pit

50. Jacoby Ford - Oak = @SD

51. Earl Bennett - Chi = Det

52. Vincent Brown - SD = Oak ----- If Malcom Floyd is once again out for this game, then the rookie Brown becomes an outstanding deep WR start in fantasy football lineups this week.

53. Jason Hill - Jac = @Ind ----- 5% ----- Anytime you play the Colts defense, anyone has the potential to tally stats and score.

54. Michael Jenkins - Min = @GB ----- 31% ----- It's simple, the Packers secondary cannot stop anyone right now.

55. Austin Collie - Ind = Jac

56. Doug Baldwin - Sea = Bal

57. Damian Williams - Ten = @Car ----- 2% ----- As long as Matt Hasselbeck is playing well, Damian Williams has potential, even if it is small.

55. Deion Branch - NE = @NYJ

56. Davone Bess - Mia = Was

57. Leonard Hankerson - Was = @Mia

58. Devin Hester - Chi = Det

59. Eddie Royal - Den = @KC

60. Titus Young - Det = @Chi ----- 3% ----- Always a threat to break off a long TD reception, especially when the secondary is triple covering Calvin Johnson.

61. Jarett Dillard - Jac = @Ind

62. Darrius Heyward-Bey - Oak = @SD

63. Ben Obomanu - Sea = Bal

64. Braylon Edwards - SF = NYG

91. Mohamed Massaquoi - Cle = StL

92. Jacoby Jones - Hou = @TB

101. Anthony Armstrong - Was = @Mia

103. Derrick Mason - Hou = @TB

104. Golden Tate - Sea = Bal

105. Brian Hartline - Mia = Was

106. Brad Smith - Buf = @Dal

114. Jerricho Cotchery - Pit = @Cin

115. Austin Pettis - StL = @Cle

116. Brian Robiskie - Jac = @Ind

117. Anthony Gonzalez - Ind = Jac


Miles Austin - Dal = Buf ----- injury ? unlikley to play

Lee Evans - Bal = @Sea ----- injury ?

Greg Salas - StL = @Cle ----- 1% ----- injury ? broken leg out for season ----- Salas was having a solid game last week until he went down with a leg injury. If he is healthy and ready to go for this game, he should continue to be one of Sam Bradford's favorite targets.

Emmanuel Sanders - Pit = @Cin ----- injury ?

Santana Moss - Was = @Mia ----- injury ? unlikely to play
