Connelly Early Could Come Out of the Bullpen in Wild-Card Series

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Connelly Early could be a part of the team's postseason plans after a stellar four-game debut to finish out the year. In those four starts, Boston's sixth-ranked prospect recorded a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and an elite 31.6 percent K-BB%. The 23-year-old would likely come out of the bullpen in the […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 4

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III played his usual role in Week 3, lining up on 70 percent of the snaps and tallying two catches on five targets for 20 yards and no touchdowns. Week 4 should bring more of the same, but ranking fifth on the team in target share with 11.5 percent is […]

Tyler Allgeier Looking to Get Back on Track After Quiet Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared from the offense last week, with the Falcons playing from behind the entire game, and the running backs finally giving way to Nathan Carter (hamstring) in the fourth quarter of the 30-0 blowout loss to the Panthers. This week's game should be more competitive, with a relatively low over/under (43.5) and […]

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Low-End TE1 Against Commanders

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. was a full participant in practice on Friday and is coming off his third straight game with at least five targets and at least four catches to begin the season.

Darnell Mooney a Big-Play Threat Against Commanders

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney did not practice Friday, but it was a rest day for the veteran receiver, not injury-related.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London drew a healthy eight targets in Week 3, turning them into five catches for 55 yards. The fourth-year wideout continues to be an integral part of the team's passing attack, but unfortunately, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has yet to throw a touchdown to any of his wide receivers so […]

Bijan Robinson a Top Option at RB With High Floor

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has begun the season with three straight games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, and given his involvement in the passing game, he's got one of the highest floors of any running back in the league. In addition to his 239 yards rushing, the 5-foot-11 back has 14 […]

Michael Penix Jr. a Speculative QB2 Play Against Washington

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had a week to forget in Week 3, completing just 50 percent of his passes (18-for-36) with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 30-0 blowout loss to the Panthers. The 25-year-old now has just a 1:2 TD:INT through three contests, with the lone touchdown coming on a 50-yard […]

Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jake Bennett could be the next pitching prospect from the minors to be in the big leagues next year.

After 11-Target Game, Is Darnell Mooney Receiver No. 1B in Atlanta?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney drew 11 targets in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers, three more than No. 1 receiver Drake London. Unfortunately, he was only able to haul in four of those targets, tallying 44 yards in the process and no scores. The 27-year-old's involvement is encouraging, but it seems that after three […]

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect J.J. Wetherholt could be an option at third base once the team moves on from Nolan Arenado in the offseason.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew six targets in Sunday's 30-0 blowout loss to the Panthers, converting them into four catches for 39 yards.
