Considering the favorable matchup against Detroit, and the fact that Mitchell Trubisky hasn’t done much to keep the Bears on the field this season, fire up David Montgomery as he looks to keep the offense moving for the Bears in the second half of the 2019 season.

The Miami Dolphins currently allow +6.15 fantasy points above the mean to opposing running backs this season. If history is any indicator, Marlon Mack should be ready to feast. In a wheels up week, he should become the most recent player to run through, over and around the Dolphins.

In addition to strong volume and efficiency metrics, Chris Godwin draws a tantalizing matchup against a weak Arizona Cardinals secondary. He specifically projects to face off against Byron Murphy, who has allowed a 138.2 (No. 74 among qualified cornerbacks) Passer Rating Allowed in his coverage, setting up Godwin for a productive fantasy outing in Week 10.

With Brandin Cooks suffering his second concussion this year, Josh Reynolds stepped up to play a major role in the Rams’ offense last week. Reynolds played 88-percent of the Rams’ snaps, while receiving eight targets and generating 138 Air Yards. Priced at just $3,800, that volume deserves a long look on an already tight Week 10 slate.

Michael Thomas hasn’t scored fewer than 16 fantasy points in any contest. He leads all wideouts in Target Share, receptions and receiving yards. Thomas is top-five in Completed Air Yards, yards after the catch and red zone receptions. It’s no surprise that he is first in fantasy points per game among wide receivers.

Even with Mike Evans’ recent dominance, Chris Godwin is still sixth among qualified wide receivers in receptions and top-five in receiving yards and fantasy points per game. Considering the Cardinals pace of play, and that this game has the highest over/under of the week, Godwin’s Week 10 ceiling is massive.

Diontae Johnson has shown more consistency than any other Steelers receiver beside JuJu Smith-Schuster. He has an 86.7-percent (No. 27 among qualified wide receivers) True Catch Rate which, combined with his 2.58 (No. 1) Target Separation score, means he only needs consistent targets to flourish in the Steelers system.

Tarik Cohen used to be a dynamic fantasy player. He has seen his playing time decrease with the breakout of rookie running back David Montgomery. Cohen averages 30 yards per game with only one touchdown, and that simply won’t get it done. He hasn’t done much with the touches he has gotten, evidenced by his putrid 14 (No. 80) Yards Created.

Christian Kirk only saw five targets against a top-ranked 49ers defense, but he still saw a 20.8 percent target share in that game. Kirk has now seen at least 20 percent of Kyler Murray’s pass attempts in all but one game this season. Kirk has a high floor and should hit his ceiling in this game environment.

Calvin Ridley has already seen at least six targets in all but one game, and with the ceiling he possesses, Ridley is an obvious tournament lineup maker. With Matt Ryan due back under center, the Atlanta offense will be competent enough to keep pace with the electric Saints passing attack.

Kyler Murray is a lock button. Is Christian McCaffrey salary-proof?

D.J. Moore’s production has been pleasantly predictable. Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley have been impossible to predict.

Mike Gesicki is capable of dominating receiver-style routes from the tight end position based on his athleticism. He’s in the 96th-percentile or above in every athletic metric on PlayerProfiler. The Dolphins, as always, will be in a spot where they have to throw to stay in the game. They are 10-point underdogs to the Colts this week.

When efficient players are seeing volume and not producing, we buy and keep buying until they rebound. With Vegas backing the Saints as the best offense this Sunday, Alvin Kamara fits that bill more than any other player on the slate. They are 13-point favorites against the Falcons in a game with a 51-point total.

Brian Hill is a better all-around running back than Devonta Freeman at this point in their respective careers. This week screams 100-yard fourth quarter for Gus Edwards.

Myles Gaskin checks in above replacement across the board. He’s definitely a better football player than Ballage with a more traditional primary back profile than Patrick Laird. Zach Pascal heads into a smash spot against the Dolphins as the Colts’ undisputed No. 1 receiver.

A true boom or bust field-stretching archetype, Kenny Stills posted a Weekly Volatility mark of 9.5 last season which signals his tendency to fluctuate. That number fell to 4.6 so far in 2019 due to his lack of opportunity in Miami (14 targets in four games) and also because he hasn’t notched a ceiling game yet.

Marquise Brown leads all rookie wide receivers with a Weekly Volatility mark of 9.4 after he exploded onto the scene in Week 1 with 30.7 fantasy points to finish in the overall top-5. After a solid second outing (16.6 fantasy points) he failed to reach 10 fantasy points in consecutive weeks before injuring his ankle in Week 5.

One of the more inefficient backs in the league to this point, Melvin Gordon owns a 23.1-percent (No. 27 among qualified running backs) Juke Rate. Luckily, volume matters more than efficiency for running backs. With Gordon seeing an uptick in snaps, carries and targets, he deserves a longer look in fantasy football.

In only his second game as a New England Patriot, Mohamed Sanu stepped up to play 100-percent of the team’s snaps in Week 9. He reeled in 10 of 14 targets for 81 receiving yards and a score. While negative game script forced New England into a pass-heavy approach, Sanu’s strong usage warrants closer examination.
