Fantasy Soccer Week 10 Vast Receiver Preview: Trades of Jakobi Meyers, Rashid Shaheed complicate waivers

The primary two extensive receiver trades on Tuesday weren’t the kind which can be going to shake up the highest 12 of the extensive receiver rankings, however they actually make WR3 conversations extra attention-grabbing and complicate our waiver priorities. Jakobi Meyers goes from the Raiders to the Jaguars, and Rashid Shaheed is headed to Seattle. Two guys who figured to be on most waiver wire precedence lists determine to be among the many greatest losers.

Parker Washington might have been the primary waiver wire precedence earlier than this commerce. Tavis Hunter is on Injured Reserve, and Brian Thomas left Week 9 with an ankle harm. In that Week 9 recreation caught eight of 9 targets for 90 yards. However in that recreation, Washington had a 49.3% slot charge, which was the fourth-highest mark amongst receivers who performed at the least 80% of the snaps. The man proper behind him? Myers. It is clearly not ideally suited when your staff trades for a large receiver who strains up in the identical place as you.

As a result of we aren’t anticipating Thomas to play this week and Myers has to be taught a brand new system, I do assume there may be some hope that Washington can nonetheless be a one-week starter as a WR3, however his rest-of-season projection took an enormous hit.

Not like Myers, Shaheed won’t must be taught a brand new offense. He performed in Gary Kubiak’s offense in New Orleans final 12 months and will hit the bottom working in Week 10. That is an offense that solely throws about 29 passes a recreation, and greater than a 3rd of these go to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, so any goal competitors added goes to be a priority for a rookie like Horton. He’s nonetheless an incredible Dynasty stash, however I would not need to begin him for so long as Smith-Njigba and Shaheed are each wholesome.

As for the fellows who bought traded, I’m viewing each Myers and Shaheed as flexes in Week 10. Shaheed has essentially the most fast upside due to his familiarity with the system and the way nicely he suits. However I want to see each settle into their roles earlier than I depend on them as starters. One man who does get a major increase is Tre Tucker; he may see seven or eight targets a recreation. And Jack Bech is an efficient, deep league speculative add.

Right here is the remainder of the Week 10 WR Preview:

Week 10 WR Preview

• 10.3 — Xavier Worthy has not scored greater than 10.3 Fantasy factors in a recreation since Rashee Rice returned. I’m holding him over his bye, however I perceive why some won’t.
