8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 10
J.J. Nelson was named a starting receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. Which other under-the-radar players could put up good numbers in Week 10?

J.J. Neslon, WR, Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals' last two games have made the offseason "John Brown or Michael Floyd?" conundrum look almost quaint.

J.J. Nelson has out-snapped and out-targeted both of them over their last two games, and Nelson actually lead Cardinals wideouts in snaps and targets in Week 8. He has 19 targets over the last two games, including three of the Cardinals' six targets in the red zone. He also leads Arizona wideouts in Reception NEP per target among those who have seen at least 10 looks.

Arizona's 30.75-point implied total is by far the highest of the week, and they're up against a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 20th against the pass. Nelson remains on the waiver wire in a higher percentage of Yahoo public leagues than either Brown or Floyd, and grabbing him this week gives you a guy who has both a high floor coming from his heavy volume and a high ceiling coming from his red zone targets and favorable matchup.
