Puka Nacua or DeAndre Hopkins: Who should I start for Fantasy Football Week 10?
Starting the right wide receivers in Fantasy Football each week can be the difference between winning and losing particular matchups. Some managers may be debating between DeAndre Hopkins and Puka Nacua for their Week 10 starting lineups. They both have plenty of upside, but here's which one is a better pick this week.
Is Puka Nacua a good fantasy pick in Week 10?
Puka Nacua was extremely impressive during his rookie season with the Los Angeles Rams last year. He finished as the overall WR5 in Fantasy Football and recorded 105 receptions, despite sharing the field with Cooper Kupp. He has missed five games with an injury this year, but Week 10 will be his third consecutive game back in the lineup.
In his first game back two weeks ago, Nacua totaled seven receptions for 106 yards, despite playing in just 57% of the offensive snaps. He was ejected early in his next game, so he will be looking to bounce back this week against the Miami Dolphins. Considering his solid production on a limited snap count, he has a ton of upside if he can get back to his full workload this week.
Is DeAndre Hopkins a good fantasy pick in Week 10?
DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago, where he joined a much more productive offense than he previously had with the Tennessee Titans. His first game with his new team was disappointing as he recorded just 29 receiving yards, but he bounced back in a big way last week, finishing as the weekly WR5 in Fantasy Football with two touchdowns.
The veteran will look to build off of his promising performance, but it won't come easy against a tough Denver Broncos passing defense in Week 10. They are allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to his position and sixth-fewest passing yards per game to their opponents.
Puka Nacua or DeAndre Hopkins: Who should I start in Week 10 Fantasy Football?
Puka Nacua is the recommended wide receiver to use in Week 10 Fantasy Football lineups over DeAndre Hopkins. He will play in a more favorable matchup this week, which contributes to his superior projections.
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Draft tool predicts that Nacua will score 2.1 additional fantasy points than Hopkins this week. His reception and yardage expectations are both higher, which makes up for him being less likely to score a touchdown.
