Week 10 was a decent showing for the wide receivers of the NFL in terms of fantasy football. There were 29 wideouts that surpassed double digit fantasy points (0.5 PPR scoring), while not too many were buoyed by inordinate reception totals. Of those 29, there were a few blow-up performances that warrant attention.
Christian Kirk went truly bonkers on the Tampa Bay secondary, something that was essentially written in stone before the week began. The peripheral numbers were there and the Bucs’ backend is a sieve, paving the way for the second-year wideout to explode. Darius Slayton had his second two-touchdown performance in three weeks, catching 10 passes for 121 yards and the scores against an embarrassing Jets secondary.
Then there were the big guns. Tyreek Hill continued his torrid pace since coming back from injury, catching 11 of 19 targets for 151 yards and a score. Amari Cooper disregarded his own injuries and went off for 11 catches, 147 yards and a touchdown against an underachieving Vikings backend.
And then there’s Michael Thomas. The bye week didn’t slow him down, as he came out of it and caught 13 passes for 152 yards. Thomas has now scored over 12.9 fantasy points in every single game this season. He’s setting himself up to be a top 5 lock in fantasy drafts next year.
