MIAMI, Nov. 7 (UPI) — DeAndre Hopkins is among my five must-start wide receivers for Week 10 of the fantasy football season.
If you need more options for your roster, check out my top add/drops article. My Week 10 rankings for quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends are will be available and updated throughout the week.
Ja’Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs and CeeDee Lamb lead my Top 50 Week 10 wide receiver rankings, which are listed below. Chris Olave, Davante Adams, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans and Hopkins round out my Top 10.
All of my must-start options rank inside the Top 28 in my rankings, meaning they should all be started in leagues that include at least 14 teams.

Mike Evans
Evans is a low-end WR1 this week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran totaled 87 yards in Week 9 and scored in two of his last three appearances. He also scored in five of his first eight games this season.
This week, the Buccaneers will face the Tennessee Titans. The Titans allowed the second-most fantasy points, catches and receiving yards per game to wide receivers so far this season. They also just surrounded 90 yards and a score to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson in Week 9.
I expect this game to be somewhat high scoring, with Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield using Evans as his top target. He should haul in at least eight catches for 75 yards and have several chances to score. Evans is my No. 9 play.Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (10) totaled four catches for 60 yards in Week 9 and scored three touchdowns in Week 8. File Photo by AJ Sisco/UPI
DeAndre Hopkins
Hopkins is listed right behind Evans in my Week 10 wide receiver rankings. The Titans pass catcher got off to an underwhelming start this season, but is red hot as of late.
Hopkins is averaging 87 yards over his last four appearances. He erupted for at least 120 yards in two of his last four games. He also averaged nearly eight targets over his last six appearances.
This week, the Titans will face the Buccaneers, who just allowed a combined 321 yards and four touchdowns on 15 catches to Houston Texans receivers Tank Dell, Noah Brown and Nico Collins.
Look for Hopkins to exploit this matchup against a secondary that allowed the sixth-most receiving yards and eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers through nine weeks. This WR1 has extreme breakout potential.Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla. File Photo by Terry Schmitt/UPI
Brandon Aiyuk
Aiyuk was on bye in Week 9 and maintains WR1 upside in Week 10, when the San Francisco 49ers face the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 49ers wide receiver totaled 109 yards on five catches in Week 8. He logged at least five catches in four of his first seven games.
The Jaguars allowed the seventh-most fantasy points and catches to wide receivers so far this season. They also allowed opposing No. 1 receivers to either score a touchdown and/or eclipse 100 receiving yards in every game this season. Look for the 49ers to dominate this matchup, with Aiyuk securing at least seven catches and finding the end zone.
He is my No. 12 option.
Tank Dell
As previously mentioned, Dell helped Texans receivers destroy the Buccaneers secondary in Week 9. The emerging rookie erupted for 114 yards and two scores on six catches in that matchup.
Dell is my No. 23 play this week and can be plugged in as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3, when the Texans face the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals secondary hasn’t been terrible at defending opposing wide receivers, but I like Dell in this matchup because I expect the Texans to air it out in a high-scoring game.
Dell should see at least 10 targets and eclipse 80 yards for the second-consecutive week.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Smith-Njigba caught a season-high six passes in Week 9 and appears in line to receive a similar workload going forward. The Seahawks rookie scored in two of his last three games. He was targeted an average of nearly six times over his last five appearances.
This week, the Seahawks will face a Washington Commanders defense that allowed the fifth-most receiving yards and sixth-most catches and fantasy points per game to wide receivers so far this season. Look for the Seahawks passing attack to heat up in this matchup, with Smith-Njigba reaching the end zone for his third career score.
He is my No. 28 play and can be plugged in as a WR3.Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (1) attempts to catch a pass against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati. Photo by John Sommers II/UPI
