Top WRs To Start in Week 10

Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows for Mike Evans this season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he’s certainly proving that he still has an elite ability to win deep downfield and be a big-time playmaker for Baker Mayfield.

Looking ahead to Week 10, Tampa Bay draws a matchup against the Tennessee Titans defense that is struggling to slow down opposing WRs from a fantasy standpoint. They are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to the position going into Monday Night Football. Evans should be able to take advantage of that matchup.

DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Tennessee Titans

A little bit further down the rankings, DeAndre Hopkins is a solid play to get back into your starting lineups, also due to the matchup. While Tennessee has struggled to slow down opposing wideouts, Tampa Bay’s struggling even more — they’re allowing the second-most fantasy points to the position across the entire league.

If Will Levis is the starting QB again in Week 10, Hopkins should be his main target. The opportunity is there to capitalize on a plus matchup. Consider him a solid mid-range WR3 with upside.
