1) Ladd McConkey vs. Pittsburgh

In case you haven't paid attention to Ladd McConkey after a slow start (8.4 FPts/G through Week 4), he's returned to fantasy-worthy form the past five games (16.8). That's despite fighting for targets with tight end Oronde Gadsden II and wideouts Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston. The losses of both tackles Rashawn Slater and now Joe Alt last week will likely force Justin Herbert into shorter passes favoring McConkey and Allen. The Steelers are surprisingly ranked dead last, allowing 41 FPts/G to opposing wideouts.

2) Troy Franklin vs. Las Vegas

Nix's old Oregon teammate, Troy Franklin, has become a viable option the past three weeks, getting frequent opportunities (28 targets) and turning those chances into points - 44.1 or 14.7 FPts/G. Meanwhile, the Raiders pass defense has been very generous, yielding 37.7 FPts/G to opposing wideouts. I like both Franklin and teammate Courtland Sutton to produce in Week 10.

3) Wan'Dale Robinson @ Chicago

The Bears have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts (37.1 FPts/G) and the second-most touchdown receptions (13). Wan'Dale Robinson is the Giants best remaining receiver with Malik Nabers injured and a target hog with 27 over the past three games. The Giants are allowing rookie Jaxson Dart to throw the ball often (31 attempts per game since Week 5), so Robinson has a high upside.

1) Brian Thomas Jr. / Jakobi Meyers @ Houston

I'd prefer you simply stay away from the entire Jacksonville pass offense in this one. The thought is that Brian Thomas Jr. might be able to play despite a low-grade ankle sprain in Week 9, but this matchup and his disaster of a season should point you elsewhere. Meanwhile, Meyers won't know the system yet having been traded on Tuesday.

2) Khalil Shakir @ Miami

Two things are working against Khalil Shakir. The primary one is that the Miami Dolphins have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts (25.5). The second is that it appears Josh Allen prefers throwing to his tight end than his wide receivers. Also, while the Dolphins rank No.1 against WRs, they rank 27th against opposing RBs. This will be a James Cook day, not a Shakir day.

3) DK Metcalf @ Los Angeles Chargers

I don’t like Rodgers in Week 10 so it should come as no surprise that I don’t like Metcalf either. Metcalf has been pretty good after the trade from Seattle, and started his Pittsburgh career with five consecutive double-digit performances, but he’s been struggling a bit of late failing to crack eight points in two of the last three games. The Chargers own the No.2 defense against opposing wideouts and their focus will be on Metcalf.
