In a flash, we are already halfway through the regular season. With Week 10's slate ahead of us, things have started to get interesting. While teams look forward to making the playoff push and getting better seeding, fantasy managers, on the other hand, have some tricky deals to deal with.
With the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Rams on the bye, picking the right players this week will be tough. Some players to keep an eye on this week are Adam Thielen, Gabe Davis, and Jakobi Meyers.
Thielen will play against the Chicago Bears, while Davis and Meyers will go against the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets, respectively. Who should you start this week? Let's take a look:

Should I Start Adam Thielen for Fantasy Football?
Adam Thielen and the Carolina Panthers will take on the Chicago Bears on Thursday night football this week. This is a great opportunity for Bryce Young and the Panthers offense to make some noise, as they are facing a pretty poor defensive team.
The Bears are still without Justin Fields, and they are currently giving up an average of 26.9 points per game and 256.9 passing yards per game. Thielen has become a reliable target for Young, and you should consider starting him in Week 10.
In nine games this season, the veteran wideout has 62 receptions for 610 yards and has scored four touchdowns. He is averaging 76.3 receiving yards per game and is currently the consensus #WR6 in the RotoBaller staff rankings.
Should I Start Gabe Davis for Fantasy Football?
Gabe Davis and the Buffalo Bills will face the Denver Broncos on Monday night football this week. The Bills are coming off a bad loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week and are in desperate need of a win.
Davis has been quite inconsistent this season, and that has been the story of his career. Against the Bengals in Week 9, he had no receptions on targets. Given that the Broncos' defense has gotten better over the past few weeks and they are coming off a bye, this isn't an ideal matchup for Davis.
Josh Allen would look to target Stefon Diggs and Dalton Kincaid much more than Davis this week, and you should avoid starting him. In nine games this season, the Bills wideout has 31 receptions for 434 yards and has scored five touchdowns on 49 total targets. He is currently ranked #36 among WRs by the RotoBaller staff.
Should I Start Jakobi Meyers for Fantasy Football?
The Raiders players breathed fresh air after the departure of Josh McDaniels. Jakobi Meyers, one of the players that McDaniels brought in, has, however, grown to be a crucial component of their offense.
In his team's 30-6 win over the New York Giants last week, he finished with two receptions for 38 yards on five targets. He also rushed in for a 17-yard touchdown, as not much was required in the passing game with rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell.
The Raiders will face the New York Jets in Week 10, and it will be a tough matchup for them. The Jets' defense is one of the best in the league, and they are bound to disrupt the Raiders offense. As a result, you should avoid starting Meyers, but you can consider using him as a flex option for this week.
Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs will be much more relied upon to make big plays for the Raiders this week, and it's not an ideal matchup for Meyers. He is currently ranked #37 among WRs by the RotoBaller staff.
