Jaxon Smith-Njigba and CeeDee Lamb sit atop my NFL DFS WR rankings for Week 10, much to the surprise of no one, I’m sure! There’s a lot to sort through, but don’t worry, we've got you covered here at Fantasy Alarm! Not only will you get my top NFL DFS WR picks for Week 10, but I’ll also cover my top fade of the week and some intriguing DFS stacks, including a contrarian stack that might have you scratching your head at first! Without further ado, let’s dive into the NFL DFS WR Coach for Week 10!

NFL DFS Week 10 WR Picks

CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys - DraftKings: $8,800 | FanDuel: $9,000

San Francisco has been stingy against receivers for most of the year, but very much so of late, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game over the last four weeks. However, they faced Washington (Jayden Daniels), Atlanta (Michael Penix), and Las Vegas (Kirk Cousins) during that stretch. Even so, Stefon Diggs, Treylon Burks, and Drake London all went for 10+ fantasy points, but Lamb is a different beast. For the year, he has a 41.7% first-read rate and 2.99 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints. Also, against the 49ers, you want a wideout who excels against single-high safety looks and against zone. Well, Lamb has posted 3.17 yards per route run against zone, and 2.99 yards per route run against single-high safety looks, per FantasyPoints Data. Other than Week 5 against Tampa Bay, Lamb has been rock solid and has posted 20+ fantasy points in over half of his games this year.

Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings  - DraftKings: $6,800 | FanDuel: $8,100

In 39 games with Kirk Cousins as his QB dating back to 2021, Jefferson averaged 20.77 fantasy points per game, 10.1 targets per game, and 102.2 yards per game, per FantasyPoints Data. In fact, the only QB Jefferson has averaged more fantasy points per game with than Cousins is Nick Mullens, where Jefferson averaged 25.8 fantasy points per game in three games with Mullens as his QB. Jefferson gets his QB back right before a matchup against a Green Bay team that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the last four weeks, per FantasyPoints Data. Cousins has familiarity with Kevin O’Connell’s system, and he should hit the ground running in Week 10.

Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - DraftKings: $5,200 | FanDuel: $5,800

Tennessee is coming off a bye week, so it might be easy to forget just how good Tate was prior to the bye. In Weeks 5-7, which were Tate’s last three games before missing the game before the bye due to injury, Tate had a 21.3% target share, 1.91 yards per route run, 40.6% air yards share, 28.1% first read rate, and 10.5 fantasy points per game (12.9 expected fantasy points per game), per FantasyPoints Data. He was really, really good, and is coming on strong for Tennessee, and looking at this matchup, I like his outlook again. The Jags play two-high safeties 54% of the time, and on the year, the rookie has 0.23 targets per route run and 1.79 yards per route run against two-high safeties, per FantasyPoints Data. Tennessee will be playing from behind, and it’s tough to run on Jacksonville, so expect Tennessee’s pass volume to be elevated.

Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills - DraftKings: $5,300 | FanDuel: $5,900

Shakir hasn’t been transcendent from a fantasy perspective by any means, but he’s been steady, posting four or more targets in all but two games this season. He’s my preferred Buffalo pass catcher in this one, as the Jets have allowed the 12th-most yards to slot receivers on the year, and the fact they blitz at one of the higher rates in the league is music to Shakir’s ears. Against the blitz this season, Shakir has a team-high 0.29 targets per route run, not to mention 3.63 yards per route run, and 0.58 fantasy points per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. I like Buffalo to score points in this one, and Shakir is quite affordable on DraftKings with its PPR scoring.

 

 

 

Best NFL DFS WR Values for Week 10

Best DraftKings WR Value: Tank Dell, Houston Texans - DraftKings: $3,900 | FanDuel: $5,800

I’m going to say it. Despite Xavier Hutchinson playing more, Dell is the team’s WR2 behind Nico Collins. In just his second game back after a catastrophic injury in 2024, Dell was third amongst Houston’s wideouts in route share in Week 9, and he led in targets per route run (0.41), per FantasyPoints Data. Furthermore, in two games since his return, he’s second on the team in target share, and he has the most speed of these wideouts. He’s averaging nearly 30 yards per reception on the year, and I expect Stroud to take some deep shots in this one. For the year, he has a 15.5% deep throw rate and 104.1 passer rating against man coverage, per FantasyPoints Data, and against single-high safety looks, his numbers sit at 15.4% and 92.8, respectively. They want to continue to increase his workload, which should only benefit Dell.

Best FanDuel WR Value: Denzel Boston, Cleveland Browns - DraftKings: $5,200 | FanDuel: $5,500

A big play receiver against a defense that has allowed explosive pass plays at one of the higher rates in the league… Sign me up! Houston has allowed the fifth-highest explosive pass rate on the year, per FantasyPoints Data, and 20% of Boston’s catches are explosive receptions, per FantasyPoints Data. Furthermore, of wideouts with at least 50 targets on the year, only Michael Wilson has more end zone targets than Boston; he has the third-highest air yards share at 45.5%, and the fifth-highest yards per reception, per FantasyPoints Data. He almost exclusively lines up on the perimeter, and outside receivers have feasted on Houston’s perimeter corners, mainly Kamari Lassiter, to the tune of the second-most fantasy points per game, per FantasyPoints Data. KC Concepcion, who we’ll highlight later, is likely more the possession guy here, where Boston has the chance for a big play or two, and maybe find the end zone once or twice.

Best NFL DFS WR Stacks for Week 10

Best QB/WR Stack
Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers - DraftKings: $6,700 | FanDuel: $7,100

Stack with:

Bryce and Tet? Really? I’m loving this stack this week. New Orleans plays single-high safety looks at the second-highest rate in the league, and McMillan has posted 0.23 targets per route run and 1.95 yards per route run against that look this year, per FantasyPoints Data. Furthermore, against zone coverage, which New Orleans deploys a lot as well, McMillan has posted 0.25 targets per route run and 2.41 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. In Week 9, Carolina deployed more 12 and 13 personnel than prior weeks, and out of those packages this season, McMillan has a 21.1% target share and 2.26 yards per route run.

Since Week 5, the Saints have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, and again, more 12 and 13 personnel stands to benefit Young, who has posted 7.97 yards per attempt and a 102.1 passer rating out of these packages, per FantasyPoints Data. 

Oh, and against 12 and 13 personnel, the Saints have allowed the league’s highest EPA/play and fourth-highest explosive pass rate, per FantasyPoints Data.

Best WR/WR Stack

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - DraftKings: $7,700 | FanDuel: $7,600

Stack with: 

This is chalky, but how do you not go with Watson and Golden? They both torched Minnesota back in Week 1; it’s a pass-happy offense, and Jordan Love has been above average against the blitz this year. Overall, by the numbers, Watson projected best against Minnesota, as he has posted 3.80 yards per route run against the blitz and 3.76 yards per route run against two-high safeties, per FantasyPoints Data, both of which are staples of Brian Flores’ defense. While Golden doesn’t quite match those numbers, he still has an excellent 2.16 yards per route run versus the blitz, per FantasyPoints Data, and a team-high 0.31 targets per route run against two-high safeties. They are both top-10 fantasy wideouts on the year, and passing volume should be no issue for Green Bay.

Best Contrarian Stack

KC Concepcion, Cleveland Browns - DraftKings: $4,800 | FanDuel: $5,700

Stack with:

I mentioned liking Denzel Boston above, but Concepcion also finds himself in a good matchup against Houston. Nearly two-thirds of his routes come from the slot, and on the year, the Texans have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to slot receivers, and coverage isn’t the name of Jalen Pitre’s game. Furthermore, DeMeco Ryans has talked all year about tackling being an issue for the Texans. Well, amongst wideouts with at least 50 targets on the year, Concepcion has recorded the 12th-highest yards after contact per reception, 11th-highest missed tackles forced per attempt, and 6th-highest yards after catch per reception, per FantasyPoints Data. Beyond that, he’s been strong against single-high safety looks, which Houston primarily plays, and he could run circles around a unit that, per the coach, has had tackling issues this season.

On top of the revenge game narrative for Watson, if that still applies, the Texans have allowed the fifth-highest explosive pass rate on the year, and are in the bottom half of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. They are susceptible to mobile QBs, even if we haven’t seen it much this year, so that will be something to watch in this one.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Fade for Week 10

Drake London, Atlanta Falcons - DraftKings: $6,600 | FanDuel: $7,700

We’ll need to keep an eye on the injury report for the Chiefs, because if they get healthy in the secondary, London is an easy fade. Even though he’s been good with Michael Penix as his quarterback, he’s averaging just 6.8 fantasy points per game over the last two weeks and a 44.2 passer rating when targeted. No team has allowed fewer fantasy points per game to opposing perimeter receivers than the Chiefs this year, not to mention the second-fewest targets to perimeter wideouts. Teams don’t really test them on the perimeter, and at this price point, I’d rather look at a better situation than a Michael Penix-led offense against a tough Kansas City defense.

NFL DFS Week 10 WR Play of the Week

Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints - DraftKings: $7,000 | FanDuel: $7,900

I like this game for points, and Olave is my preferred option from the New Orleans side. Yes, Jordyn Tyson looked good in his season debut, and his role likely grows with time, but Olave is the constant presence, and ultimately, the biggest key to this New Orleans offense. The Saints and Panthers play at the fastest paces in the league, per FantasyPoints Data, and they are both in the top half of the league in pass rate over expectation. Carolina plays single-high safety looks at the fifth-highest rate in the NFL, and against these looks, Olave has posted 3.16 yards per route run and 0.33 targets per route run this year, per FantasyPoints Data. Olave runs roughly 70% of his routes out wide, and over the last four weeks, Carolina has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to perimeter receivers, per FantasyPoints Data.

 

 

 

DraftKings vs. FanDuel WR Picks for Week 10

Between FanDuel and DraftKings, here are a few of the more notable pricing/ranking discrepancies on the two sites. Baltimore Ja'Kobi Lane is priced too cheaply on both sites, but Germie Bernard on FanDuel feels like one of the more mispriced players on the entire slate. He’s right around the top-30 on DraftKings, but couldn’t crack the top 50 on FanDuel? Interesting. Jakobi Meyers and Keenan Allen are better suited for DraftKings’ PPR scoring, and they also find themselves as better values there as well.
