Matchups We Love

RB Kyren Williams

For the first time all year, Kyren Williams did not score a touchdown last week. However, he still saw 23 opportunities while playing 99% of the team's offensive snaps. With a matchup against the Dolphins upcoming, he will continue to be a strong RB1 option. Miami has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs.

WR Tyreek Hill

Even with Tua Tagovailoa back, Tyreek Hill hasn't done much over the past two games. He has caught just 10 passes for 152 yards while finishing outside the top 30 at the position in both contests. However, a big game could be in store for Hill in Week 10 against the Rams. Los Angeles just allowed 180 yards and two touchdowns to Jaxon Smith-Njigba a week ago, making the Dolphins playmaker a strong WR1 play.

Update: Hill popped up on the injury report on Friday due to a wrist injury. 

TE Jonnu Smith 

Jonnu Smith has been a sneaky TE1 option in 16-plus team leagues in recent weeks. He has seen at least six targets in four straight games and just played a season-high 69% of the team's offensive snaps last week. As a result, Smith will be a low-end TE1 option in Week 10 against the Rams. Los Angeles has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.

Matchups We Hate

None

Other Matchups

QB Tua Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa will come into Week 10 as a solid QB2 option in Superflex formats. While the Dolphins quarterback hasn't scored above 18 fantasy points in back-to-back weeks, the Rams secondary has struggled to stop the pass this year. Los Angeles has allowed a top-15 fantasy quarterback in four of the past six contests while giving up 14 passing touchdowns during that six-game span.

QB Matthew Stafford 

On paper, this might seem like a tough matchup for Matthew Stafford. The Dolphins have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. However, both Kyler Murray and Josh Allen finished with over 22 fantasy points against this secondary over the past two weeks. With Stafford throwing for 577 yards and six touchdowns across the last two games, he is a strong QB2 option in Week 10.

Dolphins RBs 

De'Von Achane is a must-start in Week 10 against the Rams. In four games with Tagovailoa this year, he has finished as the RB2 (three times) and the RB3 in PPR formats. As for Raheem Mostert, he is a potential flex play in 12-plus team leagues. Despite only playing 23% of the offensive snaps last week -- thanks to a fumble -- he still finished with 8.8 PPR fantasy points. He'll be an RB3 option against the Rams.

DeVon Achane's second TD ties it up in Buffalo!

WR Jaylen Waddle 

Jaylen Waddle only saw two targets last week and will be a risky flex play in Week 10 against the Rams. Although Los Angeles has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, Waddle has become the fourth option in this Miami offense since Tagovailoa returned. He's a boom-or-bust flex play this weekend.

Rams WRs 

The Dolphins have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, but that shouldn't matter to both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in Week 10. With Nacua being ejected in last week's game, Kupp took over and finished with 11 catches for 104 yards. Nevertheless, both playmakers will be a WR1 in fantasy this weekend on a Rams team that has thrown 78 times over the past two games. Demarcus Robinson is a deep-league touchdown-or-bust play.
