Seven games to look through this week. Let’s get right into the Pick6 fantasy football picks worth considering from Week 10’s NFL main slate (Sunday 1 p.m. ET).
Indianapolis Colts vs. Buffalo Bills
Joe Flacco
Passing Yards: 235.5
For those waiting to see Flacco go off for 300-plus yards again, keep waiting. His 359 yards vs. Jacksonville is proving to be the result of his opposition. Outside of that Week 5 start, Flacco has failed to throw for more than 200 yards this season.
Fresh off a 179-yard showing against a Minnesota secondary that’s surrendered the fifth-most passing yards per game this season, Flacco has to handle a Bills team that’s allowing 41 fewer passing yards per game than the Vikings. Buffalo is also in good form, too. Tua Tagovailoa had his second-lowest passing total of the season (231) in Week 9 vs. the Bills. Right before that, Geno Smith logged his third-lowest total (212).
The play: LESS
Minnesota Vikings at Jacksonville Jaguars
Sam Darnold
Passing Yards: 246.5
This is a mark that Darnold has exceeded in half of Minnesota’s games this season, most recently doing so vs. Indianapolis in Week 9. He’ll now face a Jacksonville secondary that has given up the second-most passing yards per game this season.
On top of those hard numbers, Minnesota can’t afford to let up in this game. Not because the Jaguars are a problem, but because they still have momentum to regain after barely getting past the Colts.

New England Patriots at Chicago Bears
Hunter Henry
Receiving Yards: 44.5
This has been a sound play for the last couple weeks, and it’s still a strong option this week.
With Drake Maye under center, New England’s passing game is vastly improved. But even in Week 8, when Maye left due to injury, Henry logged 45 receiving yards.
Now, this play has been in the 30s the last couple of weeks. Henry’s play and New England’s bump at QB are part of why this has jumped a bit. But, there may be more to it.
Evan Engram went a perfect 10-for-10 with 102 receiving yards in Week 6 vs. Chicago. After their bye, the Bears allowed Zach Ertz to log 77 yards on 7-for-11 receiving. In Week 9, Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins combined for 69 yards on 5-for-6 receiving (each had 30-plus yards individually).
The Bears have not been handling opposing tight ends well recently.
The play: MORE
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints
Tyler Allgeier
Rushing Yards: 38.5
Bijan Robinson came through in Week 9, but we’re turning to Atlanta’s other running back vs. New Orleans. Allgeier has only exceeded this mark in three of nine games. That’s largely the result of volume, which is obviously going to go in Robinson’s favor most games.
But last time these two teams met, Allgeier and Robinson had almost an even split in carries. On just eight rushes, Allgeier logged 60 yards.
This time around, New Orleans is in disarray. This game could very easily get out of hand and lead to Atlanta calling Allgeier’s number more than usual.
