Now that we're in week 10, I need to stress the importance of production right this second because we only have weeks 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 until we get to the fantasy playoffs. So, if you still have to go through your buy, you're going to miss 20% of the remaining regular season games.
So, keep that in mind as we go through all these wide receiver rankings, which I'll give you 50 of them. Starting off with the S tier, you rank these guys in whatever order you want. I'm gonna put Pukanuku at one who is currently averaging 23.1 points per game. Jackson Smith and Jigba at two who's averaging 22.1 points per game. And Jamar Chase at three who is averaging 20.9 points per game.
Now since you've had Flaco coming into Cincinnati, Jamar's actually been better than Pukuna and JSN. Obviously, the passing volume here has gone up dramatically. In the past four games, you've had Jamar Chase averaging about 15 targets per contest, but you still have to go through the by-week for Jamar Chase in week 10. So, I think I would rather take the extra game out of Puka and JSN. Monitor the Puka injury, but Sean McVey right now is telling us that he's 100% good to go for this next week.
Now, moving over to A tier, it's tough for me to know what to expect with CD Lamb. Lamb hasn't been incredible so far this season. and he's currently sitting here averaging about 15 points per game. Um, averaging 81 receiving yards per contest. Keep in mind, Lamb got injured at the beginning of the season. He is now fully healthy. I'm recording this before the Monday night game. I of course will be live streaming after the Monday night game to update these rankings if we need to. Right now, the expectations for this game, at least on Underdog Fantasy, they currently have CD Lamb higher lower 83 and a half receiving yards and they have CD Lamb higher lower 15.45 fantasy points.
Now, honestly, my favorite underdog pick them right now for all of Monday night and it feels like it's kind of free money is going to be CD Lamb to go lower than 1.5 rushing yards where CD Lamb has had one carry all season. And I literally cannot believe that this projection pickum is up there on underdog.
Now Aman Ross St. Brown will be our next wide receiver. St. Brown here is averaging about 20 and a half points per game. We saw this past week him get banged up. He went right back in. It was all good. I mean, and he is sitting here so far this season with 74 targets and eight games played. So he is averaging about nine targets a game. He's had seven touchdowns this year, 635 receiving yards. He's the same wide receiver that he has been throughout pretty much his entire NFL career, averaging about 20 points per game. Just super stable production.
And then Rasheed Rice was super disappointing this past week. Oh my gosh, this was the worst game that you have had from Rashid Rice since week one of 2024. And yes, that was 18.6 fantasy points. That is how good Rashi Rice is, ladies and gentlemen. Even in a game in which Patrick Mahomes struggles, they're going to make sure that Rasheed Rice at least gets a rushing touchdown.
Now Drake London will be our next wide receiver. I had to play against Drake London this week. It absolutely sucked. He had the hattick. He went absolutely nuclear. Um with London, yeah, remove week eight. Obviously, he got injured, but in weeks 4, 66, 77, 9, which are the last games he's played, he has scored 25, 32, 8, and 39 fantasy points. So, the ceiling is insane. And obviously, this offense is much better with Michael Penn than it would be with Kurt Cousins.
Now, our next wide receiver is going to be Justin Jefferson. Um, you have McCarthy coming in, and Jefferson gives you 16 and a half points. He has nine targets, six receptions, kind of saves the day with a receiving touchdown. But in reality here, I think just based off of talent and talent alone profile, you have to rank Justin Jefferson as a top 10 wide receiver in fantasy given the target volume.
And then Ibuka will be our next wide receiver at nine. Um, I had him lower in these rankings before the Mike Evans injury, but now that Mike Evans is out for the rest of the season, and we don't know the exact status that we have with a player like Chris Godwin, I think you do have to put Igbuka as a top 10 option.
Then leading off C tier, we are going to have Devonte Adams. Dvonte Adams continues to score touchdowns at a crazy rate. He scores two touchdowns this past week. So far this season, he's had 36 receptions, but eight of them have led to touchdowns. Now, this is by far and away the highest touchdown rate we have seen from Devonte Adams in years. In 2024, he had eight touchdowns and it took 85 receptions. In 2023, he had eight touchdowns and it took 103 receptions. So, this probably will come back down to earth ever so slightly, but he's still averaging almost nine targets a contest.
Um, Nico Collins is the wide receiver one for my own fantasy team. Um, he comes in and this week he gives you 11 targets, seven receptions, 75 receiving yards, and a tough matchup against the Denver Broncos when you had Davis Mills under center. Now, obviously, I'm not going to sit here and make an argument that CJ Shout is the best quarterback in the NFL, but I do think that he is a lot better than Davis Mills. So hopefully Shroud is back this next week from the concussion and going up against a very injured Jackson Jaguars defense.
Now George Piggins is averaging 18 and a half points per game. George Piggin points per game-wise so far this season is ahead of CD Lamb. He is ahead of Ibuka. He is ahead of Justin Jefferson, ahead of Devonte Adams, well ahead of Nico Collins. But he played a lot of those games with no lamb. Right? If we're looking at the expectations that you have for George Piggin tonight, they currently have him on underdog fantasy. Higher lower 63 and a half receiving yards, higher lower 11.75 fantasy points. I wouldn't mind if you wanted to go with the higher than 11 and a half fantasy points on underdog. Um, realistically though, I do like the CD Lamb lower than 1.5 rushing yards more though. But of course, if you wanted to check out any of those underdog picks, you can always find the link to underdog fantasy in the description as well as the comment section. Code Flock will get you a $100 added to your account after you play your first five. And you will get a free Dak Prescott pick high or lower half a total yard for Monday night's game. And on top of that, you'll get free questions that you can ask me in the live streams. And I'm live streaming every single day until Christmas answering your questions.
Now, Garrett Wilson much higher in my rankings this week than he was a few weeks back, but that's because he got injured in week six. We assumed he was going to miss some time. He missed weeks as seven, eight, then week nine, he goes through his buy. So, there's a real shot you're going to get Garrett Wilson back in week 10. And if we go back to where he was early in the season, he was sitting here averaging about 10 targets per game, removing the game he got injured in.
Now, going over to Z Flowers. Um, Z Flowers only 13 and a half fantasy points per contest. Obviously much lower than a lot of these other wide receivers we've talked about so far, but that's been in a garbage offense with no Lamar Jackson. Now that you actually have Lamar Jackson back in, I do think we can say the Baltimore Ravens offense is elite and for that reason going to be much higher on Z Flowers.
Michael Pitman Jr. just continues to produce over and over and over again. This is the most targets he has had all year long. This is the most receptions he has had. This is his first time this season hitting a 100 receiving yards. And now we can say, "Oh, okay. Well, it's possible for the Indianapolis Colts to trail in a game and us to see Daniel Jones drop back 50 plus times." And if that volume ceiling is in the range of outcomes for Pitman, we are going to have to move him up.
And then a player that I traded for that honestly we probably need to move even lower than this is Roma Dunce. Like what the hell happened? Seriously, the Bears score almost 50 points and Rome scores zero. He does not have a single touch. I would have been better off putting Kenneth Gainwell into my starting lineup than Rome this past week. I am going to lean on the fact that the week prior he had over 100 receiving yards, 10 targets. I mean, so far this season, he is averaging 13 and a half fantasy points per game. Super talented player. I think the offense does have some upside. I just it's going to take me a little bit of time to process this game with Realm. And honestly, he probably will have to move lower in our rankings. It sucks to say, but Lad Mcconkey will be our next wide receiver. He does lead the Los Angeles Chargers in targets yet again here against Tennessee. But the issue is Gadston just continues to get worked. Not only does Gadston continue to see work, but Quinton Johnston apparently is not going away, which thank God for my underdog teams. But um realistically, Lad still does look like the wide receiver won here and they're probably going to run the ball a lot less given the Joe injury.
Going over and looking at Chris Ave has his first game this season with fewer than six targets and Tyler Shuck coming in maybe is going to change some things in this offense where we had already seen sports books put in a lower implied team total for the New Orleans Saints in a dramatic way in comparison to what you had previously had with Spencer Rattler under center.
Now, Devont Smith, honestly, is the wide receiver that I may just have to suck it up and we may have to move him ahead of Rome cuz Smith is averaging 14.3 fantasy points per game so far this season. He has been incredible. It's not like the volume's been garbage over the past month. He's sitting here averaging like eight targets a game. And if we're looking at what we have with Devont Smith, you can say like, oh, there is the outside chance that if you were to get an AJ Brown trade, Smith could jump up these rankings in a dramatic way where if you had no AJ Brown, Devontto Smith would be a top 10 wide receiver for me and would be inside B tier. So, in reality, I probably need to put Smith ahead of Rome.
Then, our next name is going to be Courtland Sutton. Sutton scores the touchdown this past week, but Troy Franklin yet again actually sees more targets than him. And if we're looking at the receiving yardage total so far this season with Sutton, Sutton's only had one game this year with 100 or more receiving yards, but obviously this was just a really bad matchup against the Houston Texans. I do think Sutton's going to be much better going into the future.
Looking at AG Brown, AJ Brown's been really bad. He's averaging only 12 and a half fantasy points per game. The target volume's been decent. Like if we remove week one, he's had an average of about eight targets per contest, but he's just been very inefficient with these targets. He's averaging 7.7 yards per target. The year prior he was at 11.1. The year before that, 9.2, 10.2, 8.3, 10.1, 12.5. So by far and away the least efficient season that we've seen from AJ Brown in his career.
Now moving over to TA against I traded the combination of TA against and Stefon Diggs in a two for one deal for Nico Collins. Not looking good right now. Tiggins this past week comes through with a massive game, 121 receiving yards. He's had four touchdowns over the previous three weeks. But you still want to at least mention that you do have Jamar Chase as a black hole for targets here in this Cincinnati Bengals offense. Over the past three weeks with Joe Flacco, you've actually had Tigan sitting here with seven targets a game where Jamar Chase is up there close to like 15.
Then Jaylen Waddle will be our next wide receiver. We have some trade rumors circulating around Jaylen Waddle. Um he's been fine. I mean, ever since he had the Tyreek Hill injury, he is averaging about 15 points per game. But the issue is this just one of the worst offenses in the league.
Um DK Mechaf is my wide receiver three on my fantasy team. And we had DK Meaf as that sell high candidate earlier in the season. I did everything I could to try to sell him. Nobody wanted to buy him. I want to reiterate this is the lowest we have seen DK Meaf with his targets per game and his entire NFL career. The lowest we've seen with his receptions per game in his entire NFL career. He had been riding high just off of touchdown efficiency early in the season, which it was easy to say that wasn't going to last.
Now Tedo McMillan's just been very bad. Tets's averaging seven and a half targets per contest. The issue is he's dealing with some of the worst quarterback play that you have in the entire NFL. So, um, I would just come through and stress that and Dynasty maybe can be excited long term if the Carolina Panthers somehow someway can get a different quarterback in here, but it's not looking likely, especially if they can go through and lean on Rico Dattle and actually keep winning games. Like, they are five and four right now, which is just insane considering how bad Bryce Young is, or at least is in my opinion.
Then going over and looking at Jordan Addison, you do see some regression with JJ McCarthy under center. McCarthy under center leads to Addison with only four targets and two receptions. And now this is backtoback games where you've only had four targets for Addison. So 100% going in the wrong direction.
Marvin Harrison Jr. is worse so far this season than he was his rookie year. Averaging only 5.7 targets per game compared to 6.8 his rookie season, averaging 3.4 receptions per game. in comparison to 3.6 his rookie season. Um, obviously tonight's game he will be exciting going up against the Dallas Cowboys given the matchup, but even with the best matchup you could possibly ask for, he's still only higher lower 58 and a half receiving yards, higher lower, 10 and a half fantasy points on underdog.
Now, moving over to F tier, we are going to have Stefon Diggs. Um, Kahan Booty gets banged up. Um, if he is set to miss a considerable amount of time, I would say we're going to go ahead and we are going to move Stefon Diggs probably up a tier in these ranks. But Diggs, the target volume hasn't been consistent. He's averaging only 5.9 targets per game so far this season.
Then Romeo Dobs will be our next wide receiver. Romeo Dobs going to take a massive leap forward in these rankings for us. Um, one, he comes through this week. He has his first game this season with 10 targets. His first game this season with seven receptions, first game this season with 91 receiving yards, but also almost more importantly, you have the Tucker Craft injury combined with the Jaden Reed injury leading to the fact that this team doesn't have many players they could throw the ball to. So, I think Dobs and his target share will be here to stay.
Now, Debo Samuel will be our next wide receiver. Um, it looks like Washington's season's probably over. Debo's averaging 13 and a half fantasy points per game. You have Terry McLaren injured. So Debo Samuel is the de facto number one weapon here for the Commanders, but he hasn't scored double digit fantasy points since week five. I'm going to assume based off what I just saw on the TV that Jaden Daniels is out for the season. And yeah, I mean I I'm making these rankings under the assumption we don't get Terry McLaren for quite some time, which I think dbo will still be startable just because he'll be the only name even if it's with Marcus Mariota. Just not exciting.
Um Kenan Allen 100% trending in the wrong direction here. You've actually seen him only have a total of six receptions over the past two weeks. And he looks like he's just not going to see the same type of target volume that he had early in the season because Gadston's coming in and making it very difficult to trust any of the wide receivers not named Lad Mcconkey.
Now, Xavier Worthy will be our next wide receiver and we'll pair him up with Quinton Johnston because I drafted both of these guys and a lot of underdog baseball drafts. I would love to come through and I'd love to say like, "Oh yeah, we can definitely rely on them in the future." Xavier Worthy is almost impossible to rely upon. He's had one game with more than 53 receiving yards this season and Rice is just the de facto alpha. Um, Quinton Johnston, y'all know I bet my season on him on underdog. I went pretty much all in drafting him. And if we're looking at what he is turning into, it's a touchdown or boss wide receiver. He's had six receiving touchdowns off of 32 receptions so far this season. And the target volume is just significantly lower now that you have Gadston. Again, Gadston really impacts the wide receivers here in Los Angeles.
Now, K Shakir will be our next wide receiver. With Shakir, you do see him fall back down to earth just slightly this past week against Kansas City Chiefs comparison what he did against Carolina, but you just kind of understand who Shakir is at this point. He's going to be a wide receiver that has six to seven targets per game from Josh Allen.
Wandell Robinson is getting seven and a half targets per game right now from Jackson Dart. So in reality, we probably need to go ahead and actually move Wandale up these rankings a bit because I realistically I'm going to be starting him every single week over Clear Shakir in my weekly rankings because yeah, Dart looks good while at the same time Wale's pretty much the only weapon they have left.
And then Ricky Pure Saul is going to be higher in our rankings this week than we've had him in quite some time. And the reason for that is I mean I would assume there's a chance we get him back here in week 10, week 11 is like he's missed five games and they opted to not put him on the IR. Now I I can't go crazy ranking him extremely high just because um you don't have any updates here with practice reports. I mean realistically I don't know if he has practiced since he got injured.
Now our next name is going to be Brian Thomas Jr. So, I'm making this video super super late Sunday night slmon Monday morning. Um, and we don't have the official word on the Brian Thomas Jr. injury just yet. From what I'm looking at is it does look like it is a high ankle sprain. And with that in mind, um, we're in week 10. If it's a high ankle sprain, he's going to miss four games. Then what? they're possibly getting him back for the fantasy football playoffs where he's a wide receiver averaging about 10 and a half fantasy points per game. So, just simply doesn't really look startable.
Then our next name is going to be Chris Godwin. No idea if or when you'll get Godwin back. If he's not practicing this week, we're going to move him down these rankings dramatically.
DJ Moore will be our next wide receiver. DJ Moore was a much better start this week because you had no Luther Burden, but he still only had six targets. Now, of course, he throws a passing touchdown. Of course, he drops 23 fantasy points. So, it's a great day, but you're not going to get him against the Cincinnati Bengals every single week going into the future. And at the same time, if we're looking at this, you are going to get Luther Burden back here soon.
Troy Franklin will be our next wide receiver. I mean, he only scored 8.3 fantasy points this past week, but in reality, I think that you can actually get more excited about Troy Franklin based on this performance because he did have 10 targets. And if we're looking at the target volume over the past three weeks, he's averaged about nine targets a game here from Bo Knicks.
Now, obviously, Parker Washington is going to be moving up these rankings dramatically. He will be one of the best Waverwire pickups of the week. We'll talk about him in depth in that Waverwire video tomorrow. So, just make sure you are subscribed.
Then going over and looking at Jacobe Meyers. Meyers, I think at this point, you just have to hope that um a team goes out there and trades for him like the New England Patriots, but he probably doesn't look startable outside of Yeah, that trade because in reality, like how bad is this offense combined with the fact that Brock Bowers is getting everything?
Now, our H tier will be led off with Brans and Iuk. Sounds like there's a real shot we get Brandon and Iuk back at practice soon. If you were in a league in which you do not have a dedicated IR slot you can put IU on, then all of a sudden I would move him down much lower than this.
Now, our next name will be Jameson Williams. With Jope, he gave you the big spike week this past week. Is that something you can trust going into the future? No. He's averaging 9.3 fantasy points per game so far this year.
Um Jawan Jennings trending in the right direction for sure, but I do think that you'll get Pier Saul back soon. I think you'll probably get Brandon back soon and Jennings still banged up himself. Um Shahed getting consistent target volume has a higher floor than a lot of wide receivers that we've talked about already, but the ceiling is just non-existent.
Matthew Golden, you would assume with the Tucker Craft injury that all of a sudden maybe he gets worked in a little bit more, but he so far this season is averaging a total of three and a half targets a game. So, can't start him.
Um Josh DS has a fine fantasy day because you have 50 pass attempts for Daniel Jones. It's not going to happen every week. And Shamir DK is a Tennessee Titan, so we're not interested.
But I think that's all I got for you. I really appreciate you. Of course, I will update these rankings every single day on flockfantasy.com. I'll be live streaming, updating him. So, just make sure you're subscribed. And if you want to go out there and take the lock of the century, CD Lamb, lower than 1.5 rushing yards. He's had one rushing attempt all season. I cannot believe they are currently offering this on Underdog Fantasy. Um, links in the description, links in the comments section. Code flock will get you $100 added to your account after you play your first five. Plus, you'll get a free Dak Prescott pick. higher, lower, half a total yard for that Monday night game. And you'll get free questions that you can ask me in the live streams that I'm live streaming every single day until Christmas. But I appreciate you and I really hope we get to see you out in the live stream later.
