DFS: Week 10 Wide Receiver Value Rankings
Here are theScore's wide receiver value rankings for Week 10 (Thursday night game excluded):
Value Rankings
QB | RB | WR | TE
Top 5
| # | NAME | OPPONENT | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Antonio Brown (PIT) | vs. CLE | Low |
| 2 | Julian Edelman (NE) | at NYG | Low |
| 3 | Odell Beckham Jr. (NYG) | vs. NE | Low |
| 4 | Allen Robinson (JAC) | at BAL | Low |
| 5 | DeAndre Hopkins (HOU) | at CIN | Low |
No Big Ben? No problem; Brown's chemistry with Steelers backup Landry Jones is strong, and the standout receiver is as matchup-proof as they come. Edelman and Beckham will trade punches all day in what should be a shootout between the Patriots and Giants, while Robinson has a great chance to put up video-game numbers against lowly Baltimore.
Next 5
| # | NAME | OPPONENT | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Demaryius Thomas (DEN) | vs. KC | Low |
| 7 | A.J. Green (CIN) | vs. HOU | Low |
| 8 | Allen Hurns (JAC) | at BAL | Low |
| 9 | Brandin Cooks (NO) | at WAS | Low |
| 10 | Emmanuel Sanders (DEN) | vs. KC | Low |
Sanders and Thomas combined for 16 catches, 203 yards and two scores in their first meeting with the Chiefs; Sanders is a game-time decision this week, with Thomas earning a huge boost if his teammate doesn't suit up. Hurns, like Robinson, has a plus matchup with the Ravens' questionable secondary. Cooks has caught fire and should continue unabated against the Redskins.
Best of the Rest
| # | NAME | OPPONENT | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Jarvis Landry (MIA) | at PHI | Medium |
| 12 | Michael Crabtree (OAK) | vs. MIN | Medium |
| 13 | Mike Evans (TB) | vs. DAL | Medium |
| 14 | Stefon Diggs (MIN) | at OAK | Medium |
| 15 | Calvin Johnson (DET) | at GB | Medium |
| 16 | Dez Bryant (DAL) | at TB | Medium |
| 17 | Alshon Jeffery (CHI) | at STL | Medium |
| 18 | Amari Cooper (OAK) | vs. MIN | Medium |
| 19 | Randall Cobb (GB) | at DET | Medium |
| 20 | Davante Adams (GB) | at DET | Medium |
| 21 | Jordan Matthews (PHI) | vs. MIA | Medium |
| 22 | Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) | at SEA | Medium |
| 23 | Willie Snead (NO) | at WAS | Medium |
| 24 | Rishard Matthews (MIA) | at PHI | Medium |
| 25 | Kamar Aiken (BAL) | vs. JAC | Medium |
Landry doesn't have the ceiling to warrant a top-tier inclusion, but his floor is among the lowest of any player in his price range. Johnson and Bryant simply aren't earning their huge DFS salaries, and are risky plays until they turn things around. Fitzgerald has a brutal matchup against Seattle's impressive secondary. Don't sleep on Aiken, who could be involved in a shootout.
Nothing to See Here
| # | NAME | OPPONENT | RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | DeSean Jackson (WAS) | vs. NO | High |
| 27 | Pierre Garcon (WAS) | vs. NO | High |
| 28 | Nate Washington (HOU) | at CIN | High |
| 29 | Golden Tate (DET) | at GB | High |
| 30 | Travis Benjamin (CLE) | at PIT | High |
| 31 | Martavis Bryant (PIT) | vs. CLE | High |
| 32 | Tavon Austin (STL) | vs. CHI | High |
| 33 | Brandon LaFell (NE) | at NYG | High |
| 34 | Rueben Randle (NYG) | vs. NE | High |
| 35 | Dorial Green-Beckham (TEN) | vs. CAR | High |
| 36 | John Brown (ARI) | at SEA | High |
| 37 | James Jones (GB) | vs. DET | High |
| 38 | Jeremy Maclin (KC) | at DEN | High |
| 39 | Mike Wallace (MIN) | at OAK | High |
| 40 | Ted Ginn Jr. (CAR) | at TEN | High |
Jackson and Garcon are solid choices in theory, but Jackson is still making his way back from a serious hamstring injury and Garcon's ceiling has never been lower. They're GPP-only options at best this week. LaFell could see his role increase with the season-ending injury to Dion Lewis. Maclin may not see many passes thrown his way against a formidable Broncos defense.
