Taking a look at the best low-owned fantasy football WR options to play in Week 10, including the Indianapolis Colts’ Alec Pierce.
As we move on to Week 10 of the NFL season, we are now into the final stretch of the season. With the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans all on bye, there are going to be plenty of people hurting at the wide receiver position. With likely few options left after waivers have been processed, it’s important to get your first pick of the free agency period.
These are three low-owned fantasy football WR options that you can stream for Week 10, if you are unsure about that final WR spot in your starting lineup! Also, make sure to check out our Week 10 fantasy football rankings!

Low-Owned Fantasy Football WR Streaming Options Week 10
Alec Pierce vs Atlanta Falcons (% Owned)
If you have been reading these articles weekly, you have seen Alec Pierce mentioned a few times before. Somehow, the rest of the fantasy world has not yet caught on to his value. While he is not the sexiest fantasy football WR option, he has provided quite the stable floor and even an underrated ceiling as of late.
In six games since Week 1, when the Indianapolis Colts drubbed the Miami Dolphins from the start and just ran it down their throats, Pierce has hit double figures in four games. Last week, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pierce saw 13 targets, hauling in six for 115 yards. While that target share shouldn’t be expected consistently moving forward, it was the second time in the last three weeks that he drew 10 or more targets. The Atlanta Falcons have a solid passing defense. Still, Pierce is getting plenty of looks and will continue to be the reliable deep threat for the Colts, making him a solid addition to your squad in Week 10.
More Fantasy Football Streamers Week 10
Parker Washington at Houston Texans (% Owned)
One of the more popular waiver claims this week will certainly be Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Parker Washington. With that being said, it’s still very likely he’s available in your leagues, as, let’s be honest, nobody really pays attention to the Jaguars. Over the past two weeks, he’s totaled 19 targets and now may have an even bigger role in Week 10.
With Travis Hunter on injured reserve, Brian Thomas Jr. also spraining his ankle again and Dyami Brown concussed, he will certainly continue to get the bulk of the targets in this offense. Even if Thomas is able to suit up, his inconsistency and inability to stay on the field will likely flare up again, leading to even more love for Washington in this offense. Yes, Jacksonville traded for Jakobi Meyers, but the Jaguars still don’t have many healthy receiving options they can trust outside of Washington. They are playing a Houston Texans team that Washington had 11 targets against earlier this year, in Week 3. For that reason alone, Washington should be owned in all leagues this week.
Calvin Austin III at Los Angeles Chargers (% Owned)
Rarely putting up eye-catching performances, there is still plenty to love about Calvin Austin III’s consistency this season. In the six games that he’s played, he has had six or more targets in three of those games, and five or more in four games. While he certainly does have a lower floor than players like Alec Pierce, he has shown an ability to find the end zone on occasion, scoring two touchdowns within the first three weeks of the season.
This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers face off against the Los Angeles Chargers on the road. Austin has been one of Aaron Rodgers’ most trusted and reliable options since his return from injury, and it’s unlikely he’ll lose that role any time soon. The Chargers do have a solid passing defense, but their solid offense will force the Steelers to pass the ball more, which should open up Austin to get a few more looks than even his average game in Week 10.
