Week 10 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (WR – TEN)

“Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. We’ve seen his target share uptick, with 14 targets over the last three games. His touchdown equity has gone up, catching a touchdown in four straight games. He’s finished as a WR3 in three straight games.”
– Chris Welsh (FantasyPros)

Sterling Shepard (WR – TB)

“I’m starting Sterling Shepard in a couple of leagues where byes and injuries have me on the ropes. Shepard wasn’t as busy in the passing game as we might have liked last week — 4-48-0 receiving on five targets — but his usage picked up late in the game, and he also had two carries for 21 yards. Shepard has always been a good player; he’s just had difficulty staying healthy. With all the WR injuries the Buccaneers have been besieged with, Shepard could be a worthwhile fantasy asset this week against the 49ers.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND)

“As much as this pains me to say, Jonathan Taylor seems primed to let managers down. The Bills have been a good matchup on paper, but much of that is De’Von Achane catching all 15 targets for 127 yards and two TDs or Derrick Henry rushing for 199 yards and two total TDs. Taylor has played two games where Joe Flacco played the majority of the game and four with Anthony Richardson. In Flacco games, he’s averaged 17 carries for 68 yards and 0.5 TDs, and in Richardson games, he’s averaged 17.8 carries for 91.5 yards and 1 TD. Five of six Taylor games haven’t been in the top 10, yet he’s RB10 by consensus rankings, which makes him ripe to disappoint.”
