Fantasy Football: Week 10 red-zone report

Jahmyr Gibbs is in a prime spot to bounce back this week: After a quiet Week 9, Gibbs draws an ideal matchup to return his high-end fantasy value with some touchdowns this week.
Nico Collins is due for more work in the red zone: Collins has seen just one of his 20 targets of the last two games in the red zone but draws a good matchup to get back on the score sheet this week.
