*Before we get into the FF content you’re here for, I first want to say a quick word about the importance of taking a step back and really acknowledging the courage of those who served and the many who gave their lives for us to live ours today. Lest we forget their sacrifice, and on this remembrance/veterans day, as with every other, we thank you for your service. We shall remember them.*

Cole Beasley – Buffalo Bills

The veteran slot receiver has received back-to-back games with double-digit targets as the Bills have struggled for rhythm on the offense, leading Josh Allen to pepper his favorite short-yardage target. Beasley will be up against a Jets defense that has allowed over 30 points in three straight games and a secondary that grades bottom 5 in Defensive Coverage vs Receivers, according to PFF. 

Tyler Johnson – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

 The second-year pass-catcher is expected to have an expanded role in the offense due to Antonio Brown once again being ruled out with an ankle injury. And that role could be even larger if expected game-time decision Chris Godwin misses the game. Johnson will have a great opportunity to stake his claim for more regular playing time, as he’ll be up against a Washington secondary who grades in the bottom 3 for Defensive Coverage vs Receivers, according to PFF. 

Marvin Jones Jr – Jacksonville Jaguars 

Another veteran receiver on our list this week is Jacksonville Jaguars WR1 Marvin Jones Jr. The off-season acquisition has been a peripheral figure in the two games since his 7/100/1 stat line performance against the Dolphins in London but has a good chance to get back on track in Week 10. The Colts’ defense he’ll be up against has allowed 30 or more points in back-to-back games whilst their secondary grades inside the bottom 10 for Defensive Coverage vs Receivers, according to PFF. Pair this with the fact Jones Jr has 3 TDs in 3 career games vs Indianapolis, and I think we have a WR3 with upside on our hands in Week 10.

Michael Pittman Jr – Indianapolis Colts

Two receivers from different sides in the same game make our list this week. Michael Pittman Jr has really stepped up in his sophomore NFL season, emerging as the Colts WR1 this year in TY Hilton’s absence. Pittman has 255 receiving yards and 4 TDs in his last 3 outings, and now faces a Jaguars defense that despite keeping Buffalo to only 6 points last week, has given up 30+ points in 50% of their games this season, and their secondary grades bottom 10 for Defensive Coverage vs Receivers, according to PFF.
