Tevin Coleman Has Monster Day Against Washington

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman put up some great numbers against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Matt Ryan Has Big Day In Washington

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan made a mockery of his history on the road with a big performance against the Redskins in Washington on Sunday.

Atlanta Falcons Defense Likely To Return So-So Outing Sunday

The Atlanta Falcons defense is likely to have a mixed outing in their game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

However, the Redskins offense does not make many mistakes, as demonstrated by them ranking third in the... Read More

Giorgio Tavecchio Should Be In Line For Good Game Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio has the chance for another good outing Sunday against the Washington Redskins. The Falcons offense is not at its best when playing outdoors.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could be in line for a tough day against the Washington Redskins in Week 9. The Redskins rank 21st in terms of fantasy points surrendered to tight ends, with opponents scoring an average of just 9.17 fantasy points. Hooper had two nice outings in Week 5 & 6, but... Read More

The Redskins have no corner who is capable of going stride for stride... Read More

Ito Smith A Tough Option In Week 9

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is a tough back to use in the Week 9 game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The Redskins defense has been stout against the run this season, ranking second in the league in terms of rushing attempts and rushing yards against them. Smith has yet to have a... Read More

Tevin Coleman Set For Tough Day Sunday

Check the Schedule - QB/WR Combos to Acquire Before Playoffs

We have reached that point in the season where some fantasy owners need to start thinking ahead. This will not be the case for all owners, but the lucky ones who are sitting in a comfortable position and feeling confident of the playoffs. For those owners, it is time to start positioning yourself to have... Read More

Week 8 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

At every position other than tight end we are seeing fairly consistent names appearing in the top-10/15/25. Outside of that we still have a lot of boom-or-bust players. This week I want to focus on how you can use the information below to make those agonizing decisions about the high-ceiling, low-floor players. For running back... Read More

Nick Chubb - Welcome to the RB1 Club

Last week was tough for fantasy running backs. David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott were both studs who disappointed. Austin Ekeler was unable to step in place of the inactive Melvin Gordon over in London and we lost both LeSean McCoy and Sony Michel to injuries early in their games. When you combine all of that with... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 8): NFL DFS Lineups

Week 8 has similar bad news in the case of us losing a few interesting teams from the slate. With both the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers on a bye week, we lose two of the more explosive offenses and one of the weaker defenses. We have also lost the New England Patriots to... Read More

Falcons Defense Returns Poor Points Total Again Monday

The Atlanta Falcons defense was not able to make the most of the pressure they got on Eli Manning in the game Monday. The Falcons seemed to have Manning in their sights a lot but only ended up with four sacks and did not manage to force a turnover of any kind. This was the... Read More

Giorgio Tavecchio Has Solid First Outing As A Falcon

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio had a decent first outing in an Atlanta Falcons uniform. Facing the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, the left-footed kicker converted all three of his field goal opportunities, including a long of 56 yards, and both of his extra points. With two 50-yard field goals and a 40-yarder... Read More

Mohamed Sanu Has Disappointing Day Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a disappointing day against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Coming into the week Sanu had been limited in practice with a hip injury so it is no surprise to see him have a limited number of targets. Sanu saw just two targets, both of which... Read More

Calvin Ridley Has Mediocre Day Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a mediocre day against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Ridley caught five of his six targets for 43 yards. Other than the game against the Saints where he had 143 yards this has been a typical day for Ridley this season. If Ridley had found... Read More

Austin Hooper Fails To Find End Zone Monday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was not able to find the end zone against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The Falcons tight end managed to catch three of his four targets for 48 yards, meaning he was not a complete dud for fantasy owners. However, Hooper's value generally lies in touchdown... Read More

Marvin Hall Catches Deep Bomb Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Marvin Hall got himself on the score sheet Monday night against the New York Giants. Hall was always likely to see a little more time on the field with Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley a little banged up this week. Whenever Hall is on the field he is a threat to... Read More

Julio Jones Tops 100 Yards Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones broke through the 100-yard receiving mark for the fourth time this season against the New York Giants. Jones caught nine of his 12 targets for 104 yards as Matt Ryan looked his way regularly on Monday. The day could have been even better if Ryan had managed to get... Read More

Ito Smith Ineffective Monday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had an ineffective outing against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Smith is set to be the number two in the run game for the remainder of the season with Devonta Freeman on injured reserve. However, this performance will not have done him many favors. Smith rushed... Read More

Tevin Coleman Has Mixed Night Monday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a mixed night against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The overall numbers look good as Coleman rushed 11 times for 50 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown, adding two receptions for 32 yards. However, what makes this a mixed night for Coleman is how the yards... Read More

Matt Ryan Efficient Monday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan put up some fairly efficient numbers against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Ryan completed 31 of his 39 pass attempts for 379 yards and a long touchdown pass. It looked like it was going to be a long night for Ryan as he was sacked three times... Read More

Week 7 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Through six weeks we are now starting to see things settle down somewhat. We no longer have the massive movements in the tables that we have seen previously. This goes for all positions and the numbers are starting to match results. There will be names that surprise but when you go and look at the... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 7): NFL DFS Lineups

Entering Week 7 we have to start with bad news. The Atlanta Falcons are playing on Monday Night Football, removing one of the best teams to select DFS options against. In a way, this is perhaps a blessing as they are facing the New York Giants. Therefore, this saves us as a fantasy community from... Read More

Giorgio Tavecchio A Risk-Reward Play Monday

Atlanta Falcons newly-signed kicker Giorgio Tavecchio is an interesting risk-reward option for fantasy owners in the Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. This Falcons offense has been extremely effective at home in converting opportunities into touchdowns, limiting the value of the kicker. However, the counter is that this is a Falcons team... Read More

Austin Hooper Faces Tougher Test In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper will face a much tougher test in the Falcons Week 7 game against the New York Giants on Monday. Hooper has faced the worst two defenses in the league in terms of defending the tight end the last two weeks. In those two games he has racked up 18... Read More

Julio Jones Should See Plenty of Action Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones should be in line to see plenty of action against the New York Giants on Monday. With both Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley banged up this week Jones should see a decent number of targets. However, he will be facing a defense which ranks in the top-10 in lowest... Read More
