Matchups We Love
Jonathan Taylor had his worst game of the season last week, scoring just 7.7 PPR fantasy points. However, Taylor will continue to be a strong RB1 play for fantasy managers in Week 10 against the Falcons. Atlanta is allowing over 100 rush yards per game on the ground while also giving up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing RBs.

Kyle Pitts has actually been a really solid TE1 option this year. He has averaged 10.9 PPR fantasy points per the first nine weeks and has finished as a top-12 fantasy TE in three of the past five games. Now, he gets a fantastic matchup against a Colts defense that has allowed a top-12 fantasy TE finish in four straight weeks. That makes Pitts a nice TE1 play in Week 10.
Matchups We Hate
TE Tyler Warren
You aren't sitting Tyler Warren because of this matchup against the Falcons. Nonetheless, expectations should be tempered for him. Atlanta has allowed the fewest fantasy points, fewest receptions, and fewest receiving yards to opposing TEs this year. On top of that, not one TE has finished as a top-18 option against this defense in 2025. So, Warren will be a lower-end TE1 this week.
Other Notable Matchups
Michael Penix Jr. had one of his better fantasy games last week, scoring 22.7 PPR fantasy points behind a three-touchdown day. As a result, Penix could be started as a QB1 in deeper 16 or 18-team leagues this weekend. The Colts have allowed four QBs to finish with over 21 fantasy points since Week 2.
QB Daniel Jones
Daniel Jones will continue to be a solid QB1 option for fantasy managers. He has finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in three of the past four games and just threw for a season-high 342 yards in Week 9. While this matchup might not be the best, there is still some potential for Jones in this contest. The Falcons have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in four of the past five games.

You are starting Bijan Robinson in every format this week. Although he has rushed for under 50 yards in three straight games, his usage in the passing game has carried him in recent weeks. Robinson has finished as a top-12 fantasy RB in seven of eight contests this year.
Falcons WRs
The Colts entered the week as one of the easiest matchups for opposing WRs. Then, the front office decided to trade for Sauce Gardner. Therefore, Drake London will have a tougher matchup on the outside against Gardner, who ranks 23rd among all CBs in fantasy points allowed per game. Still, you are starting London as a WR1 in all formats after a three-touchdown game in Week 9.
As for Darnell Mooney, he should only be started in 14-plus team leagues. While he won't see Gardner much in coverage, it's too hard to trust him at this point in the season. Mooney has scored under four PPR fantasy points in back-to-back games.
Colts WRs
Michael Pittman Jr. has been fantastic for fantasy managers this year. He has scored above 20 PPR fantasy points in three straight games and currently ranks as the WR6 on the year. So, he should be in all lineups this week against the Falcons. The good news for Pittman is that A.J. Terrell Jr. hasn't really shadowed opposing WR1s this year, meaning we shouldn't downgrade the Colts' playmaker this week.
As for Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, both can be started in some 12-plus team leagues. Downs has scored above 11 PPR fantasy points in four straight games, and he just saw a season-high nine targets last week. Although the Falcons have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to slot WRs, Downs is a solid flex option. Same with Pierce, who is more of a boom-or-bust WR4.
