4 Fantasy Baseball Prospects Who Struggled in the Arizona Fall League - 2026 Dynasty Fallers

The Arizona Fall League (AFL) capped off its season a little over a month ago, and we looked at some of the prospects who thrived there in my Arizona Fall League Standouts article. In this article, we'll take a look at four prospects who struggled. Now, keep in mind that this league is renowned for […]


Darnell Mooney Very Risky Despite Solid Matchup for MNF

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney recorded just two catches for 24 yards in Week 16, continuing a trend of disappointing performances that has persisted throughout the season. The 28-year-old has caught two or fewer passes in eight of the 13 games he's played this season, and has struggled to gain targets behind Drake London […]


Drake London Carries Some Risk as Low-End WR1 in Week 17

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was a non-factor in Week 16 after returning from a four-game absence, tallying just three receptions for 27 scoreless yards while playing just 69 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The 24-year-old was limited in practice all week and takes a questionable designation into Monday night's game versus […]


Tyler Allgeier a Risky Flex Play in Tough Matchup Against Rams

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier tied a season high with 16 rush attempts last week, totaling 79 yards on the ground (4.9 yards per rush). Without recording a touchdown, though, and recording one catch for negative six yards left him with a disappointing line for fantasy. Although the 25-year-old has eight touchdowns on the […]


Kirk Cousins a Low-End QB2 Versus Rams on Monday Night

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has a 5:1 TD:INT over the last two weeks as he's focused his attention on the team's top playmakers rather than spreading the ball around. The 37-year-old may have to continue to air it out in Week 17 as the Falcons are 7.5-point underdogs for a Monday Night Football showdown […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. a High-End TE1 with Upside as Teammate Draws Questionable Tag

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. broke out over the last two weeks, combining for 18 catches on 21 targets that amounted to 223 yards and four touchdowns. He's now the second-highest scoring tight end in fantasy, and is arguably Kirk Cousins' favorite target since taking over for Michael Penix Jr. (knee). Drake London […]


Bijan Robinson a High-Floor, High-End RB1 for Monday Night Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off the second straight week in which he's produced at least 168 total yards and a touchdown, currently sitting as a top-five running back in season-long fantasy. The 23-year-old even led the team with 11 targets in Week 16 despite the return of Drake London (knee). The […]


Can Darnell Mooney be a Factor in Week 17 After Another Quiet Outing?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney continued to be an afterthought in the Atlanta offense, drawing just two targets in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals. The 28-year-old converted both targets into receptions for 24 yards, but is firmly behind Drake London (knee), Kyle Pitts Sr., and Bijan Robinson in the receiving pecking order, giving him […]


Will Drake London be Limited Again in Week 17?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was targeted eight times in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals, but was only able to convert three of them into receptions for 27 scoreless yards. It was the 24-year-old's first game back from injury after missing four straight contests, and despite the high target volume, he was […]


Can Kyle Pitts Sr. Make it Three Straight Games with a Touchdown?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. continued his recent stretch of success in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals, hauling in seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. It was the fourth straight game with at least eight targets and at least six catches, and the 25-year-old has quickly vaulted himself into […]


Zane Gonzalez on the Streaming Radar in Week 16 in Arizona

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez has been solid as the team's third placekicker this year, going 11-for-13 in the six games he's played, with both misses coming from more than 50 yards out. He's also 11-for-11 on extra point attempts. The 30-year-old is on the streaming radar for Week 16's road matchup against the Cardinals, […]


David Sills V Could See Significantly Diminished Role in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V drew 10 targets in Week 15, converting them into six catches for 78 yards. The 29-year-old enjoyed a four-game stretch with Drake London (knee) missing from action, which included touchdown receptions in Weeks 12 and 13, however, London is expected to return in Week 16. That could mean […]


Tyler Allgeier Carries Boom/Bust Potential into Good Matchup Vs. Arizona

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, rushing just twice for 18 yards, and did not receive any targets in the passing game for the first time since Week 10. The BYU product is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with eight, but has […]


Darnell Mooney a Risky Flex Option Heading into Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was targeted six times in last week's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, but managed to haul in just three of them for 35 scoreless yards. The 28-year-old has caught four passes only one time all season, totaling 25 catches for 364 yards and one touchdown in 12 games played. […]


Drake London a Mid-Range WR1 in Expected Return Against Arizona in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has missed the last four weeks with a knee injury, and despite a questionable tag after being limited in practice all week, he is expected to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals. The 24-year-old was rolling before going down with the injury, recording five 100-yard […]


Kirk Cousins Still a Low-End Option Despite Likely Return of Top Receiver

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had his best game of the season by far last week in a 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, completing 30 of 44 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The 37-year-old focused his attention on his top pass catchers, and should get another weapon back in Week […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. Looks to Keep Rolling in Strong Week 16 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) is coming off the best game of his career, recording 11 receptions for 166 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 29-28 win over Tampa Bay last week, now sitting with 73 catches and 797 yards for the year. The 25-year-old has had a consistent role in […]


Bijan Robinson a Top Option in Favorable Matchup Against the Cardinals

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off a productive performance in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, tallying 92 yards and a touchdown on the ground with an additional 82 yards gained through the air. After scoring just two touchdowns via rush through the season's first nine games (and two via pass), […]


David Sills V a Deep-League Dice Roll on Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V was targeted four times in Week 14's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, however, he failed to haul in any of those passes. It was a disappointing performance after two straight weeks catching touchdown passes from Kirk Cousins. Despite the goose egg, two of the 29-year-old's targets came in […]


Tyler Allgeier a Boom/Bust Flex Play on Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier tallied double-digit carries in Week 14's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, rushing 11 times for 34 scoreless yards (3.1 YPC), but managed to salvage his fantasy day by recording two catches for 33 yards. His work in the passing game, albeit small, is an interesting revelation, as the BYU […]


Kirk Cousins Could Struggle in Week 15 Without Top Receiver Again

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed just 15 of 30 pass attempts in Week 14 for 162 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, both of which came in the second half as the Falcons tried to play catch-up in what turned out to be a 37-9 blowout loss despite being tied 6-6 at the […]


Darnell Mooney a Risky Play on TNF Despite Teammate's Absence

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was limited to just one catch on four targets for six yards this past week, his fifth one-catch performance of the season in 11 games played. The 28-year-old has had an opportunity to become the team's top receiver with Drake London (knee) missing the last three weeks due to […]


Bijan Robinson a Top Option at Running Back for Week 15 on TNF

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson put up solid numbers on the ground in Week 14, rushing 20 times for 86 yards, however, he caught just two passes for eight yards and did not score. Despite getting down big in the second half, Kirk Cousins targeted the 2024 Pro Bowler just two times, which was […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. Carries Momentum and a Questionable Tag into TNF

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) tied a season-high on Sunday with 10 targets and eclipsed his season-high yardage total -- which was set in Week 13 -- with 90 yards receiving on six catches. He did not find the end zone, as he's still sitting with just one touchdown on the season, […]


Can Darnell Mooney be Trusted After One-Catch Performance?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney failed to deliver once again with fellow receiver Drake London (knee) missing Week 14's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, logging just one catch on four targets for six yards. The 28-year-old nearly had a touchdown catch, but stepped on the sideline before coming back inbounds to make the reception, […]


Quick Turnaround for Bijan Robinson After Disappointing Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 20 times for 86 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, adding two catches for eight yards. While it was a solid effort, the team was unable to record a single touchdown in the contest, leaving Robinson well outside the RB2 ranks for the week. With Kirk […]


David Sills V a Dicey Deep-League Play in Tough Week 14 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V has caught touchdown passes in consecutive weeks, although he's done it while totaling four catches for 31 yards in those two games combined. The 29-year-old's opportunity has come while Drake London (knee) has been sidelined with injury the last couple of weeks, and that will again be the […]


Tyler Allgeier a Boom/Bust Flex Option in Difficult Matchup Vs. Seahawks

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier continued his improbable run of scoring a touchdown on limited production last week, rushing just eight times for 20 yards (2.5 yards per carry), but found the end zone for the eighth time this season. His eight touchdowns are a team-high total, and he'll get a chance to keep […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. a TE1 in Favorable Matchup Against Seahawks

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded his largest yardage total of the season in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, hauling in seven of his eight targets for 82 yards. With top receiver Drake London (knee) missing the last couple of games and also Week 8, the 6-foot-6 tight end has been […]


Kirk Cousins a Low-End Option Vs. Seahawks Without Top Receiver

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 234 yards and one touchdown in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, each with at least two targets apiece. The veteran QB now has an unremarkable 3:1 TD:INT in three starts this season, and heads into a tough matchup in Week […]
