5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 10

1. Top fantasy football pickups for Week 10 – New York Jets WR Elijah Moore

In what has to be considered a stunning development, the New York Jets’ offense has become a fantasy gold mine over the past two weeks. The injury to starter Zach Wilson allowed offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur to move back to the booth, where he wanted to work before Wilson requested his presence on the sideline, and the Jets have responded by scoring a combined 61 points.

One of the big winners of New York’s offensive emergence is rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore, who has found the end zone three times in the past three weeks. Moore had his best receiving game against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, catching seven passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns.

A popular preseason sleeper after reports of him lighting up training camp emerged, Moore appears to be finding his groove at just the right time. Moore’s success has also come with Mike White and Josh Johnson at quarterback, a great sign for what the Jets may be able to do once Wilson returns from his knee injury in the coming weeks.

Those early struggles led fantasy owners to drop Moore in droves and he is now rostered in just 26 percent of Yahoo leagues. With the Jets’ improved offense and struggling defense, game flow should be heavily in Moore’s favor, making him a priority pickup as a potential WR3 to utilize in Week 10 and beyond.
