Here are my top 50 wide receivers for Week 10, citing standard-scoring leagues only.
This countdown doesn't lean on a particular stat. It's merely an educated best guess of which pass-catchers will tally the best combination of total yards and touchdowns for the NFL's 10th weekend.
Regardless of how these rankings shake out every week, it shouldn't supersede two important factors that go into regular lineup consideration:
At this time, we're assuming that Broncos wideout Wes Welker (back troubles) won't play against the Raiders.
1. Always play your healthy superstars.
2. Always ride your gut instinct over a certain guru's analysis (read: plausible deniability).
