Falcons-Buccaneers fantasy projections: Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Josh McCown lead the way

The Week 10 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could feature a repeat of the blowout we saw between the two teams early on in the season. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

Back in Week 3, quarterback Matt Ryan and the Falcons had a win against the Bucs wrapped up by halftime and posted a whopping 56 total points in the game. Ryan didn't have to play in the fourth quarter, yet he still threw for 286 yards and 3 touchdowns in that contest. The bad news since then is that Ryan and the boys have struggled to the tune of five straight losses. To say the least, if there was any time for Ryan to put together a big game, it would be in Week 10 against a Bucs defense that gives up the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

A big day for Matty Ice will likely put a smile on the faces of Julio Jones' fantasy owners. The wideout hasn't found the end zone since scoring twice in Week 3 and has been held under 70 receiving yards for three straight weeks. While that's not the type of production fantasy owners were hoping to see from him, Jones has a chance to step things up big time this week against a Bucs team that's an all-around subpar club.

The Bucs' coaching staff has decided to bench Mike Glennon and go with Josh McCown at quarterback again against the Falcons in Week 10. He's less likely to turn the ball over than Glennon, and the Falcons' secondary unit gives up its fair share of points. He won't blow fantasy owners away on any given Sunday, but McCown is out to prove he can still be a starting quarterback and a tasty matchup against Atlanta could prove to be just what the doctor ordered.

A change under center could also affect the production of Vincent Jackson, who was Glennon's favorite target all year long, and was going all the way back to last season. Jackson caught six passes for 86 yards last week, which is OK, but he hasn't found the end zone since Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He should still be a top option this Sunday as the Bucs are likely to be playing from behind.
