One of the most notable wide receiver injuries to come out of Week 9 was the Rams losing WR Puka Nacua (knee) for at least a few games. We also saw some wide receivers traded at the deadline Tuesday, with WR Keenan Allen landing with the 49ers and WR Josh Downs being shipped off to the Chiefs.
As we now focus on Week 10, let's highlight some NFL Week 10 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em candidates for the WR position, including picks to consider on PrizePicks for Zay Flowers, Parker Washington, and more. Keep this analysis in mind when making your Week 10 fantasy football decisions.

Start: Ravens WR Zay Flowers
Game: Chargers vs. Ravens – Monday, November 16, 8:15 p.m. ET
Projections via PrizePicks: 69.5 Receiving Yards, 5.5 Receptions, 14.5 Fantasy Score
With Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (thumb) and QB Tyler Huntley (toe) landing on IR, it looked like Zay Flowers’ days of being a valuable fantasy option were over.
He did not catch any of his 5 targets in a 36-10 loss to the Bills in Week 8. Last week, he posted 3 receptions for 6 yards in a 33-10 loss to the Jaguars. In those two games, Ravens QB Joe Fagnano combined for 151 passing yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs.
In an attempt to salvage their season, the Ravens acquired QB Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals. While his production was disappointing recently, he had a stretch in which he had three straight games with at least 2 TDs earlier in the season.
The Cardinals’ lackluster offensive line didn’t do him any favors. According to PFF, he was 30th out of 35 quarterbacks in average time to throw (2.61 seconds). Before his injury, Lamar Jackson was third in average time to throw (3.19 seconds).
Make no mistake about it, Brissett is nowhere near the same stratosphere as Jackson. However, in terms of a passer, he might actually be an upgrade over Huntley.
Flowers has three games with at least 110 receiving yards this season and is worth starting against a Chargers team that ranks 17th in dropback EPA/play allowed, per RBSDM.

Start: Jaguars WR Parker Washington
Game: Jaguars vs. Titans – Sunday, November 15, 1:00 p.m. ET
Projections via PrizePicks: 62.5 Receiving Yards, 3.5 Receptions (Goblin), 13.5 Fantasy Score
The Jaguars won their last two games by a combined score of 75-17. With them building big leads early, they didn’t need to throw much in the second half of either game. That resulted in Parker Washington posting a total of 3 receptions for 77 yards and 1 TD during that span.
There is blowout potential again for the Jaguars in their matchup with the Titans this week. According to PrizePicks, Jacksonville is a 10.5-point favorite for the spread. The Jags could end up deploying another run-heavy game script in the second half.
Despite the potential for a lopsided score, Washington is still worth starting in most fantasy leagues. Tennessee has been awful against wide receivers, allowing the second-most receptions in the league to the position (122). According to RotoWire, they also give up the fourth-most yards per target (9.51) to wideouts.

Sit: Saints WR Jordyn Tyson
Game: Panthers vs. Saints – Sunday, November 15, 1:00 p.m. ET
Projections via PrizePicks: 41.5 Receiving Yards, 3.5 Receptions (Goblin), 10.5 Fantasy Score
After the Saints selected Jordyn Tyson eighth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, he missed the first seven games of the season because of a hamstring injury. He finally made his return in last week’s 23-22 overtime win over the Browns.
Tyson emerged from the bout with a muted stat line, catching 4 of 5 targets for 30 yards. There was also a lost fumble for him along the way.
Given how long he was out, it’s not a surprise that Tyson was limited in his first game back. Even with the game going to overtime, he only played 18 offensive snaps. Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that Tyson should get a “healthy dose more” snaps this week, but don’t expect him to be fully unleashed.
Week 10 doesn’t bring a difficult matchup, considering that the Panthers are 23rd in dropback EPA/play allowed. However, with the rookie having the potential to play at least somewhat limited snaps again, it might be best to avoid him in fantasy football.
Add Jordyn Tyson to your PrizePicks lineup now.
Sit: Raiders WR Tre Tucker
Game: Seahawks vs. Raiders – Sunday, November 15, 4:05 p.m. ET
Projections via PrizePicks: 26.5 Receiving Yards, 2.5 Receptions (Demon), 6 Fantasy Score
Tucker isn’t flashy, but he is dependable. Since he entered the NFL in 2023, he has missed just one game. He is second on the Raiders in targets (56), behind only star TE Brock Bowers (70). No other wide receiver on Las Vegas has more than 28 targets.
As busy as Tucker has been, things aren’t working in his favor for Week 10. The Raiders traded away QB Kirk Cousins, leaving rookie QB Fernando Mendoza to make his first career start.
It’s a doozy of a matchup for him out of the gate, given that the Seahawks are fourth in dropback EPA/play allowed. According to RotoWire, their 6.18 yards allowed per target to WRs is the best mark in the league. Tucker has his work cut out for him.

Flowers is a viable fantasy option once again after the Ravens acquired Brissett from the Cardinals. The Jaguars could be involved in another blowout in Week 10, but Washington is still a viable fantasy option with the Titans struggling to slow down WRs.
A potentially limited workload could be Tyson’s downfall, while Tucker is dealing with a change at quarterback and a bad matchup that makes him unplayable in the majority of leagues.
