The New Great WR Duo Has Emerged
Say cheese...
For years, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have represented the gold standard when it comes to premium WR duos in the NFL (and they did their thing again yesterday in Madrid).
Tyreek Hill and Jayden Waddle were pretty nasty in 2022 when they combined for 3,066 passing yards on the Dolphins.
And while it’s still early, I don’t think it’s crazy to start including Packers WRs Christian Watson and Matthew Golden into great fantasy WR duo conversations.
Golden (10-164-1) and Watson (7-171-1) torched the Patriots yesterday in a 45-27 beatdown at Foxboro. To call Christian Gonzalez a “traffic cone” would be an insult to the effectiveness of traffic cones.
Through nine weeks, the Green Bay duo has combined for 1,327 receiving yards. That puts their full season pace at 2,820—a number that would place them in shouting distance of the all-time receiving duos records.
At this point, I think the only thing that can slow them down is their Week 11 bye …
But with Sunday and the duos in the rearview mirror, we set our sights on MNF where the one-man band known as Josh Allen will square off against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bills are pretty straight forward—you’re starting Allen, James Cook, DJ Moore, and Dalton Kincaid—but the Vikings are a bit trickier.
Fortunately, John Laghezza has a full matchup breakdown for MNF, including which Minnesota players you can trust—and a surprising one you can’t—in lineups tonight with Carson Wentz at the helm:

Early Week 10 Waiver Wire: WR Gems Still Available
It’s Week 10, which means that player breakouts at any position are getting harder and harder to find. The same can be said about streamers. But Sunday uncovered some players who could help fantasy starting lineups even as temporary fill-ins.
Alex Cupps found several wide receiver targets for fantasy managers to grab, and even a TE who might become the top target on his team if injury news is bad for a star WR. This is the time of year to stay hyper aware on the waiver wire. ⤵️
Week 9 Winners/Losers: Love is on an Island
Before the season, so many fantasy experts kept calling for Jordan Love to get more pass volume—looking at you Kendall! Well, mission accomplished. Through Week 9, Love has thrown for at least 29 passes in every game. Five times he’s thrown at least 40 times. After the way he took apart the New England secondary, he very well should be hearing some MVP chatter.
Adam Pfeifer kicked off his winners & losers wrapup of Week 9 with Love, as someone has to be throwing to the WRs mentioned above. They have the Packers’ offense running on all cylinders. Who were the other winners, and the losers? ⤵️
