📝 Week 10 Key Takeaways

Going to try a new format today for the game-by-game breakdowns. Let me know your thoughts on this new structure in the poll below.

Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts

Headline: Bijan-as-WR package is back in force (ran 28 routes!)

• Utilization: Career-high 96.4% snaps; Falcons leaned into 21 with Bijan split wide and Allgeier in the backfield. Third time in 4 weeks over 85% snaps after ~75% first six.

• What it means: More routes → more targets ceiling. TD drought (3 straight) keeps box scores muted, but role = elite

• Colts WR room: Adonai Mitchell traded; Ashton Dulin is next-man-in across spots but only matters if Pittman/Downs/Pierce miss time.

• Quick hits: Jonathan Taylor topped 200 rush yds and puts up highest fantasy performance of the year.

New Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers

Headline (NO): Life without Shaheed = snap windfall for Devaughn Vele, not targets. Taysom could become legitimate streamer.

• Utilization: Vele played 100% in 2- and 3-WR sets (and 46% in 1-WR), with Olave + Cooks alongside in 11. Taysom played 25 snaps, 13 at QB.

• What it means: Role spike didn’t translate to volume yet. Vele could be a bench stash or at least on watch lists. Real role expansion for Taysom, worth keeping an eye on if continues with QB snaps.

Headline (CAR): Rico Dowdle is the bell cow now

• Utilization: 79.2% snaps (up from 72.4%); 9/11 third downs; 18-53-1 rushing, 3-10 receiving. Hubbard: 3 carries.

• Action: Start Dowdle weekly. Stash Hubbard as a strong handcuff but hard to start if Dowdle is healthy.

New York Giants @ Chicago Bears

Headline (CHI): Swift takes back lead role with two-minute dominance

• Utilization: 61.8% snaps (most since Week 4); 13-80 rushing; 5-18 receiving. Monangai: 7-28-1; usage lag driven by two-minute (Swift 11/14).

• Action: Start Swift again. Bench but roster Monangai as a handcuff or game-script FLEX.

Headline (NYG): Tyrone Tracy Jr. pulls ahead, but TDs may skew to Singletary

• Utilization: Tracy led early downs + passing; Singletary handled short/GL and caught passes.

• Action: Both are worthy being rostered but neither will be comfortable starts. Tracy = volume; Singletary = TD paths. Game-plan dependent.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans

Headline (HOU): Woody Marks promoted to feature role, rookie WRs nudging forward

• Utilization: 80% snap share compared to 13% for Chubb. 14-63-1 rush, 2-18 rec. Jayden Higgins + Jaylin Noel ate into Kirk/Hutchinson 11-personnel snaps; combined 9-77-1.

• Action: Marks can be started weekly, Chubb can be dropped. Higgins/Noel worth a stash for second half rookie breakouts.

Headline (JAX): Jakobi Meyers debut as 11-personnel Z only

• Utilization: Parker Washington led overall snaps; Patrick/Brown rotated X; Meyers limited to 3-WR but led in yards (41).

• Action: Expect Meyers’ role to grow with practice time; next week matchup is rough → temporary avoid for JAX WRs.

Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins

Headline (BUF): Dalton Kincaid hamstring → Dawson Knox steps into receiving role

• Utilization: With Kincaid out after halftime, Knox took the pass-route job he’s filled before.

• Action: If Kincaid misses time, Knox is a potetial streamer

Headline (MIA): Achane dominant with high volume, Greg Dulcich becomes TE1 by attrition

• Utilization: Achane had a career high 22 carries, turning them into 174 yards and 2 TDs; Dulcich primary TE in 11; modest line (1-22) but consolidated role.

• Action: Achane and Waddle remain the two comfortable starts; Dulcich is a TE-premium stash/stream, especially if Waller remains out. Schedule late is friendly.

Baltimore Ravens @ Minnesota Vikings

Headline (MIN): Aaron Jones to 70.8% snaps; still fluid

• Utilization: First half dominance (18/24 snaps) before evening out some; playing through shoulder/toe injury.

• Action: Start Jones, but expect volatility; Jordan Mason a decent handcuff but not worth starting when Jones is active

Headline (BAL): Keaton Mitchell keeps earning touches

• Utilization: Third straight game with carries; explosive (7.8 YPC in this one). Justice Hill fading.

• Action: Stash Mitchell, could get larger role or be an elite handcuff; small-to-moderate dent to Henry’s ceiling, but Henry remains every-week start.

Cleveland Browns @ New York Jets

Headline (NYJ): WR room shaken again; Garrett Wilson re-aggravated knee

• Utilization: Constant shuffling; recent additions (Metchie, Mitchell) changing actives; output nearly nil beyond a long Breece receiving TD.

• Action: Avoid Jets WRs until roles stabilize; monitor Wilson health.

Headline (CLE): Dylan Sampson grabs >50% of third downs; Jerry Jeudy finally gets WR1 volume

• Utilization: Ford’s passing-down snaps down; Sampson’s route share rising (box score quiet). Jeudy played nearly every snap and led the team in just about every stat.

• Action: Sampson a waiver consideration as passing-down back + premium handcuff; great RB schedule ROS. Jeudy still a risky start but this game increases confidence in playing him if needed.

New England Patriots @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Headline (NE): Stevenson out; Jennings hurt; TreVeyon Henderson becomes true feature

• Utilization: Near every-down post-injury; capped a big-run day with 55-yard TD and 69-yard closer.

• Action: Start Henderson while Stevenson sits (and perhaps even on Stevenson’s return given juice). Schedule is RB-friendly.

Headline (TB): Sean Tucker narrowing the gap with Rachaad White

• Utilization: Carries nearly even; Tucker with more rushing efficiency again. White still PPR steady via receptions.

• Action: Rachaad White still a strong start, Tucker worth adding as a stash

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks

Headline (SEA): Rashid Shaheed added; expect more rotation as room heals

• Utilization: Early trio was Smith-Njigba/Kupp/Shaheed; injury management + blowout led to heavy rotations.

• Action: Short-term volatility, but Shaheed has spike-week upside once fully integrated.

Headline (ARI): Bam Knight suffered ankle injury; backfield contingency kicks in; Zay Jones likely out for season

• Utilization: After Knight, Michael Carter handled early downs; Demercado still led in rush yds on limited carries (55-yard burst).

• Action: Mostly a stay away backfield except for Trey Benson once healthy

Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco 49ers

Headline (LAR): In back-to-back games, Rams backfield rotates in back-to-back drives

• Utilization: Williams vs. Corum alternating drives; touches nearly even. Production favored Williams (2 TDs).

• Action: Start Williams (goal-line + guaranteed opening/half-turn). Add/hold Corum with weekly FLEX volatility but valuable role.

Headline (SF): Brian Robinson Jr. out-rushed CMC; McCaffrey PPR keeps him afloat

• Utilization: CMC: 12-30 rushing but 8-66 receiving. Robinson: 8-41; 49ers have shown willingness to mix him in more in wins.

• Action: Not letting one game change how we feel about CMC’s role but will be interesting to monitor going forward. Brian Robinson already an elite handcuff, could have standalone value.

Detroit Lions @ Washington Commanders

Headline (WAS): Early downs split between Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez Jr.

• Utilization: 50/50 early until Rodriguez shoulder; short/goal mixed; increased 12/13 personnel lessened WR snaps.

• Action: Will be hard to start any RB with Jayden Daniels out.

Headline (DET): Gibbs/Montgomery go true 50/50 on snaps and carries

• Utilization: Each had 15 carries; Gibbs with the explosive day (3 TDs, doubled rush yards).

• Action: Gibbs an obvious start, Montgomery still likely a start in most leagues

If you want more detailed information on each game, including the full breakdown from the Steelers/Chargers game, I highly recommend Nathan Jahnke’s weekly article which is the data source for much of this information.
