5 best fantasy football matchups to exploit for Week 10
2. WR A.J. Brown, Titans (vs. New Orleans Saints)
A.J. Brown has been a solid fantasy contributor this season, though it’s fair to wonder if he’s paid off his second-round ADP. His last two games, though, he’s seen 11 targets. In two of his last three games, he recorded over 130 yards. Brown may be finally hitting his stride at just the right time.
Brown gets the 27th-ranked New Orleans’ pass defense in Week 10, who are also 28th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers on the year. The Saints have been playing competitive football, however, which will lead to a highly contested game where the Titans may have to throw more times than they’d like. Not to mention the Saints are currently the NFL’s number one ranked rush defense, so the Titans may not be able to run the ball down their throats as they normally do.
All of this is good news for Brown, and he’s shaping up as a solid WR2 with WR1 upside this week, as he’s finally coming alive during the stretch run where you may need him the most.
