Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers (vs. TB, 50%)
Everyone's favorite Week 3 breakout (11-175-3) missed both of the 49ers' final two games with a hip injury and subsequent Week 9 bye. This means that Week 10 will be the first official game since teammate Brandon Aiyuk ended his season with a knee injury, and Jennings is expected to return to action.
Next up on the schedule, the 49ers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of three teams dating back to Week 4 that have allowed 10 receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers. As a result, he has the fourth-most fantasy points against opposing wideouts. This is a great spot for Jennings, who is currently taking 69.4% of his targets with an average efficiency of 16.2 yards per reception, 0.6 fantasy points per route run (9th among WRs), and 2.32 fantasy points per target (12th). is being recorded.
Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills (IND, 59%)
Don't be fooled by Bills rookie Keon Coleman's Week 9 line (1-21-0). The guy is playing solid football this season. Through the first nine weeks, Coleman averaged 19.0 yards per reception and ranked in the top five in the league with 9.0 yards per reception after the catch, and if targeted among rookie WRs, first-round pick Brian Thomas. He had the second highest passer rating (117.5) after. junior
The Colts have allowed the ninth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers this season, are ninth in EPA per dropback (0.23) and second-highest in average yards per attempt on such targets (9.0). . This is expected to be a great spot to bounce back for the rookie, who has received a team-high 20% deep target rate from Josh Allen over the past four weeks. His health needs to be watched closely as he is currently being evaluated for a wrist injury he sustained in Week 9, but if he's healthy he could be a solid flex option.
Week 10 WR Sleeper

Darius Slayton, New York Giants (CAR, 16%)
It's funny to think of Slayton as a viable flex play any given week, considering most people don't want to have anything to do with the New York Giants' passing game…but since the Giants are on the road this week , the Deep Sleeper column, where he will receive honorable mention. Apparently, this is the only place with QB Daniel Jones. be able to consistently gain status In the passing game. Slayton led the team with 324 routes this season and averaged a team-best 14.7 yards per reception, tying teammate Malik Nabors with 12 plays with 15 or more receiving yards on the year. The Carolina Panthers have faced a league-high 120 red zone plays and the second-most goal-line plays, allowing the second-highest play completion rate (39.0%) so far this season. It's an interesting spot for Slayton, who is the only other Giant with more than 10 red zone targets and multiple end zone targets this season.
Sterling Shepard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. SF, 7%)
This is a huge hit – not for the faint of heart. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter this week's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers as a 5.5-point underdog, tied for the second-highest point total of the week (50.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook). Week 9 was in the mix with starting WRs Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin out, but Shepard was the team's leading wideout in targets (5 yards) and receiving yards (48 yards) compared to TE Cade.・Ranked second on the team after Otto, playing in 60% of the games. Offensive snap. With Evans scheduled to miss another week, Otto will likely remain a focal point in the passing game this week, but is widely available to those in need of a potential volume play in a high-upside offense. A wire option that might keep an eye on Shepard as a waiver option. However, it should be noted that the 49ers have been an above-average team this season, with the team having the eighth-lowest success rate (46.4%) in targeting opposing wide receivers this year. More and more targets come before him to achieve fantasy relevance.
