Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season is almost behind us. It was another fun week of football, which included a classic game between the Ravens and Bengals plus the Chiefs snatching victory from the jaws of defeat against the Broncos.

Wide Receiver Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - 41% rostered
It was a weird game for the Chargers this week as Justin Herbert attempted just 18 passes in a win over the Titans.
Just two of those attempts went the way of Quentin Johnston, but he still managed to find the end zone for the second week in a row. The Chargers will have more available targets most weeks, so what matters to me here is that Johnston continued to be a presence when the Charger needed to score. He has five touchdowns this season despite missing two games.
Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers - 37% rostered
49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall’s NFL future was in doubt earlier in the year after he was shot in a robbery attempt. On Sunday, he caught his first NFL touchdown.

Even with Jauan Jennings back in the lineup, Pearsall made a big impact, catching four passes for 73 yards against a porous Buccaneers defense. He’s the No. 3 receiver right now but his role continues to grow.
Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns - 45% rostered
With the Browns on bye this week, Jerry Jeudy actually dropped 3% in rostered percentage, but he should see that percentage rise ahead of this week's game. Here's what I said about him last week:
Game 2 of the Jameis Winston era in Cleveland showed that the team is going to throw a lot of passes. They might not be high-value passes, but targets are targets. Jerry Jeudy was targeted 11 times on Sunday, catching seven passes for 73 yards. He now has 19 targets over the past two games and over 70 receiving yards in both.
While Cedric Tillman appears to be the No. 1 guy in Cleveland, Jeudy isn't far behind. He's got the highest floor of any player available in 50% or more of leagues.
Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens - 29% rostered
It's good to see Rashod Bateman getting rostered a bit more now than he was earlier in the season. Sure, the addition of Diontae Johnson threatens to reduce Bateman's role, but he scored his fourth touchdown of the season in Week 10 and caught a season-high six passes. This was the fifth time this season that Bateman had at least 50 receiving yards.
They went to Rashod Bateman there 3 times at the end of the game.
This is the most Baltimore has ever trusted him.
A big statement not long after they traded for Dionate Johnson.

Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers - 36% rostered
The Panthers have won two in a row! Maybe trading Diontae Johnson turned things around somehow?
Probably not. But the team at least has looked serviceable on offense and rookie Xavier Legette has been a key part of that. Legette was targeted four times on Sunday, catching three passes for 40 yards. He failed to find pay dirt but does have two touchdowns in the past three games.
DeMario Douglas, New England Patriots - 26% rostered
The Patriots took care of the Bears pretty handily on Sunday, winning 19-3. New England’s passing attack wasn’t anything special, but DeMario Douglas was solid, catching four passes for 50 yards. He’s New England’s best receiver, though that’s a fairly thankless role.
Deeper Wide Receiver Fantasy Football Pickups For Week 11
Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts - 15% rostered
With Michael Pittman Jr. out, Alec Pierce stepped up again, catching four of his seven targets for 81 yards and a score. After a strong start to the year, Pierce has faded with the emergence of Josh Downs, but he could certainly be in line for more work if Pittman misses more time.
Noah Brown, Washington Commanders - 13% rostered
The increase in targets for Noah Brown appears to be real. His seven targets on Sunday give him six or more in four of the past five games. His actual production is uneven as evidenced by his three catches for 33 yards this week, but earning this many targets in a really good offense keeps him on the fantasy radar.
Adonai Mitchell, Indianapolis Colts - 6% rostered
Rookie Adonai Mitchell has struggled to make an impact this season for Indianapolis, but he had his best game of the year on Sunday, catching all six of his targets for 71 yards. Could this be the start of something? Indianapolis has a crowded receiving unit so don’t get too excited, but Mitchell is worth stashing in most deep leagues because of his talent.
Elijah Moore, Cleveland Browns - 14% rostered
Jeudy and Tillman are the main players who benefit from Cleveland starting Winston, but Elijah Moore has been targeted 21 times over the last two games. After a big Week 8, he caught just three of his nine targets for 28 yards in Week 9. His floor is much lower than his teammates, but the targets give him a fairly high ceiling.
Kayshon Boutte, New England Patriots - 1% rostered
Douglas may be New England’s best receiver, but Kayshon Boutte is the long term play here. He was targeted six times this weekend, marking the third game in a row with six targets for the second-year wideout. His floor is lower than Douglas, but I love the recent usage Boutte is getting.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, New Orleans Saints - 1% rostered
If the Saints had a single good wide receiver, I’d write Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s three-catch, two-touchdown game a fluke and ignore it completely.

But with Chris Olave on IR, there is room for someone to be the No. 1 wideout in New Orleans. We thought that would be Mason Tipton, but he failed to bring in any of his three targets in Week 10. Could MVS continue to see the field, allowing the Saints to take advantage of his deep speed?
Mack Hollins, Buffalo Bills - 1% rostered
Buffalo is banged up at receiver, which led to a strong showing from Mack Hollins this week as he caught all four of his targets for 86 yards. He now has nine targets over the past two games. There's definitely some appeal as his role with the Bills keeps growing.
Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers - 8% rostered
The Panthers actually looked pretty good on Sunday. Of course, it was against the Giants, but still...
Jalen Coker led the team in targets with eighth, catching three of those for 41 yards. His role has definitely increased in recent weeks, though Adam Thielen returning could threaten that.
Tylan Wallace, Baltimore Ravens - 0% rostered
I feel obligated to mention Tylan Wallace after he caught three passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, but I don't see a ton of upside here. He entered the week with just two targets all year and looks like a special teams guy who just happened to have one really good game.
Still, maybe Wallace earns some more snaps based on what he did this week? Or maybe this boosts his dynasty value a bit? I don't know. There's a reason he's last in this list, but there are definitely scenarios where fantasy managers can take a swing at adding him.
