Week 10 Fantasy Football WR Start/Sit: DeMario Douglas, Tutu Atwell, and More

Let's wrap up the fantasy football start/sit series for Week 10 by discussing the wide receiver position!

We have gone over quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends in separate stories.

Should You Start Jordyn Tyson?

Tyson is now rostered in 76% of fantasy leagues, but starting in just 19% of those.

He got on the field for the first time in the regular season in Week 9 and he tallied 30 receiving yards on four receptions and five targets. It was a solid start to his career, and now he's hoping for more.

Carolina is a slightly below-average matchup for a wide receiver, so Tyson is set up decently. It's hard to trust him after just one week though, which is why his own percentage isn't higher, and why he's not starting in too many leagues.

Tyson isn't in my top-30 wide receiver rankings, but he's definitely a starting option in some leagues. I like him best in deeper leagues for Week 10, as I just want to see him deliver bigger before trying him in any standard leagues.

Should You Start Tutu Atwell?

Atwell has jumped to 36% owned, and he's starting in 13% of leagues.

He's had a big jump this week after Puka Nacua got injured and was placed on the injured reserve list. Also down Davante Adams, the Rams need some pass catchers to step up, and Atwell could be one who does.

Most of his season production has come over the past two weeks, when he tallied four receptions for 68 yards across nine targets. His role and production should expand in Week 10, when he has a pretty average matchup against the Cardinals.

Atwell is another wideout who needs to prove it before I could trust him in a standard league. He is worth adding and starting in some deeper leagues though. Atwell is one to keep tabs on, as he could be a really big waiver add before Week 11 if he takes off this week. 

Should You Start Jakobi Meyers?

Meyers is at 81% rostered, and he's starting in 43% of leagues.

He's put together some solid fantasy outings this season, but hasn't been consistent enough to add and start in all leagues. Meyers is a secondary pass catcher in Jacksonville after Parker Washington.

His matchup against Tennessee this week is the best it could possibly be. That leaves room for Meyers to deliver, even with Washington leading the way.

I took a chance and ranked Meyers 28th for this week. I think he's a flex-level starting option in standard leagues, while being a very good deep-league option.

Should You Start DeMario Douglas?

Douglas is up to 91% owned, and he's starting in 70% of leagues.

He's delivered well over the past two weeks as the Patriots have adjusted to life without A.J. Brown. The WR1 has been practicing a bit this week, but his status is still up in the air.

That complicates things for Douglas, but he's still a decent option heading into a very favorable matchup against the Lions. Both he and Brown could deliver big fantasy showings if they are both out there.

I would only want to start one of them in standard leagues still though, and that would be Brown if he's healthy. If he's not, then Douglas becomes the top New England fantasy option. Both are ranked 24th for me this week. 

Should You Start Caleb Douglas?

This Douglas is owned in 62% of leagues and starting in 23% of those.

He has put together some solid results over the past three weeks, but now faces some unknowns after Malik Willis was placed on the injured reserve list.

Douglas also has a tougher test coming against the Colts. That doesn't set him up very well for Week 10.

I don't have Douglas inside my top-30 fantasy WRs for the week as a result. I like him better as a starting option in deeper leagues, so only consider him there.

Should You Start Adonai Mitchell?

Mitchell is sitting at 64% rostered - he's starting in 26% of leagues.

He's been up and down over the past three weeks. He was held without a catch over three targets in Week 7, then erupted for 142 yards and a score on seven grabs and nine targets in Week 8. He followed that up with another goose egg in Week 9, but was targeted seven times.

His Week 10 matchup against the Bills is pretty solid, so he's set up to succeed this week. Mitchell is hard to trust based on his results over the past couple of weeks, so I'd do my best to avoid him in standard leagues.

I have Garrett Wilson as the top Jets' receiver for this week, ranking 20th. Mitchell and Omar Cooper are better deep-league starting options, but could also deliver enough for standard league usage - I would only start them in a pinch though.

Should You Start Germie Bernard?

Bernard is rostered in 81% of leagues, and he's at 37% started. 

He had some big showings in Weeks 5 and 6, but faded a bit in Weeks 7 and 8. Bernard was not very involved from Weeks 1-4.

His Week 10 matchup against the Bengals is slightly below average, but nothing too daunting. Bernard faced them back in Week 3, catching his only target for 14 yards. He should fare better this time around now that he's more established.

I gambled and ranked Bernard 29th for Week 10. I think the Steelers-Bengals game turns into a high-scoring affair, and I think that leads to a good showing from the WR2 in Pittsburgh. He's a good deep-league starting option, and I like starting him in some standard leagues as well.
