Atlanta D/ST Draws Tough Matchup Against High-Flying Colts Offense

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams recorded six sacks for the second time this season in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, and also tallied an interception and a fumble recovery. They've been stout against the pass thus far, allowing the lowest yards per game passing of any team in the NFL (158.1 YPG), but […]


Zane Gonzalez Debuts as Low-End Kicking Option in Week 10

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez will make his season debut on Sunday in Germany in a matchup against the Colts. The 30-year-old last played for Washington in 2024, which included six regular-season games and all three of the team's postseason contests. In all, Gonzalez was 12-for-15 on field goal attempts and 27-for-27 on extra points. […]


Darnell Mooney a Low-Floor WR4 in Week 10 Against Colts

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney will look to get involved in the offense on Sunday in Berlin, Germany, after registering his third one-catch performance in his last four games last week. There isn't much working in the 28-year-old's favor, however, as he's become an afterthought with Drake London (29.5 percent), Kyle Pitts Sr. (20.7), and […]


Tyler Allgeier a Risky Flex Play in Potentially Poor Game Script

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor last week after the Falcons got down early, recording just two rushes for six yards. The 25-year-old now has 11 rushes for 30 yards and one touchdown in the team's last four losses, compared to 42 rushes for 159 yards and three touchdowns in their three […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. a Solid TE1 in Week 10 Matchup Against Colts

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is seeing consistent looks in this offense in 2025, averaging over six targets, five catches, and 47 yards per game this season. Unfortunately, it has yet to translate to touchdowns, as the 25-year-old has recorded just one score on the year. That could change this weekend, as Week […]


Michael Penix Jr. a Mid-Range QB2 for Matchup With Colts in Germany

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. appears to be rounding into form after a slow, inconsistent start to the season, now with a touchdown pass in four straight games and a 7:1 TD:INT over that span. While that's a positive, the 25-year-old is completing just 60.8 percent of his passes, which is the fourth-lowest mark in […]


Drake London Trending Up in Matchup With Colts in Germany

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is coming off his biggest game of the season, catching nine of his 14 targets for 118 yards and three touchdowns. After being held scoreless over the first three games of the season, he's now recorded a touchdown catch and gone over 100 yards receiving in three of his […]


Bijan Robinson Remains a Top Option at Running Back in Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will go up against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Germany. The 23-year-old has just four total touchdowns on the season (two rush, two receiving), but still stands as the sixth-most productive running back for fantasy in half-point PPR formats due to his involvement in both the running and […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. Held Scoreless Again, but is a Breakout Game Coming?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew another seven targets in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, converting them into four catches for 38 yards. While his continued involvement in the passing attack has been a welcome change compared to the underwhelming production of the past few seasons, it hasn't amounted to much […]


Has Darnell Mooney Been Phased Out of Atlanta's Offense?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was a non-factor again in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, earning just two targets, which resulted in one catch for 15 yards. It was the second straight game with one reception and the third time this season. The 28-year-old played every single offensive snap on Sunday, so […]


Bijan Robinson Continues to Rack Up the Receptions

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson logged just 12 carries for 46 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots as the team got behind early and all but abandoned the run. However, as has been the case all season, Robinson continued to be heavily involved in the passing attack, drawing 10 targets from quarterback Michael Penix […]


Atlanta D/ST Could Struggle in Road Matchup Against Patriots

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams will look to bounce back after giving up 34 points last week to a Dolphins team that was just 1-6 heading into that contest. This week brings a matchup with the Patriots, a team that is averaging nearly 30 points per game over their last three games, led by quarterback […]


Tyler Allgeier a Boom/Bust Flex Option in Week 9

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier found the end zone for the fourth time in his last six games last week, although he carried the ball just four times for four yards, adding two catches for 10 yards. Of Allgeier's four scores, three have come in wins, with the 25-year-old mustering just one touchdown on a total […]


Darnell Mooney a Low-Floor WR4 in Week 9

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) closed out the week with full participation in practice on Friday and heads into Sunday without an injury designation. The 28-year-old was able to muster just one grab on four targets last week despite Drake London (hip) missing the contest with an injury. The veteran receiver has failed to […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. Draws Favorable Matchup Against Patriots in Week 9

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has played a consistent role in this offense all season, and last week he led the way with top receiver Drake London (hip) out with an injury, reeling in all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins, albeit for 59 scoreless yards. Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and London […]


Michael Penix Jr. a Low-End QB2 in Tough Road Matchup Against Patriots

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) will return from a one-week absence to face the Patriots on Sunday. The 25-year-old was a full participant on Friday and heads into the contest without an injury designation. The left-handed QB has thrown just five touchdown passes in six games played this season (three interceptions), and will face […]


Drake London Returns in Week 9, but as WR2 Against the Patriots

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) will return to action in Week 9 after missing last week's game with a hip injury. The 24-year-old had been rolling before last week's absence, logging three straight games with double-digit targets and totaling 22 receptions in those contests, including two touchdowns. The 6-foot-4 wideout is the clear-cut […]


Bijan Robinson a Top Option Despite Tough Matchup Against the Patriots

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will look to bounce back in Week 9 after falling flat in what should have been a bountiful fantasy day against the Dolphins in Week 8. Both Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Drake London (hip) will be back this week, so the offense should look more like what we've been accustomed to […]


Can Tyler Allgeier Keep Scoring Touchdowns at This Pace?

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier found paydirt again in Week 8's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins, scoring the team's only touchdown of the day. The six-yard score came late in the fourth quarter and marked Allgeier's fourth touchdown of the season, which is tied for the team lead with Bijan Robinson, who has two rushing scores and […]


Will Target Volume Eventually Lead to Touchdowns for Kyle Pitts Sr.?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. was the lone bright spot on offense during the team's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, reeling in all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins, albeit for just 59 scoreless yards. With No. 1 receiver Drake London (hip) out, the 25-year-old was able to gobble up looks, with […]


Atlanta D/ST a Top Option in Favorable Home Matchup Against Miami

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams is a top-three option this week against a Miami team that is reeling. Miami is already without Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season, but Tua Tagovailoa has also severely underperformed over the last two weeks, throwing for a total of 305 yards while throwing six interceptions compared to just one touchdown. Atlanta […]


Parker Romo Can be Considered for Fantasy in Week 8

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo is an option for fantasy managers in Week 8's matchup with the Dolphins on Sunday. The 28-year-old is just 4-for-7 over the last four games after a 5-for-5 performance against the Vikings in Week 2, although his three misses were from 49 yards, 55 yards, and one was blocked. Romo draws […]


Drake London a Dependable WR1 Against Miami in Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) was limited in practice Friday, but heads into the weekend without an injury designation, so expect him to suit up. The 24-year-old is coming off his third straight game in which he received double-digit targets, and remains the unquestioned No. 1 in Atlanta with a 32 percent target […]


Kyle Pitts Sr.'s Solid Weekly Usage Makes Him a Low-End TE1 in Week 8

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 62 yards in Week 7, which was his second seven-catch performance in six games thus far and the first time he recorded double-digit targets, now averaging just over six targets per game. The 6-foot-6 tight end owns a solid 19.3 […]


Bijan Robinson Primed for Big Day Against Reeling Miami Run Defense

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson fell just shy of 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time this season in Week 7's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, tallying 92 total yards in the contest. Despite not reaching the century mark, the 23-year-old found the end zone for the third consecutive week and continued to […]


Drake London Continues to See Heavy Target Volume Despite Quiet Week 7

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had a quiet game in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, registering four grabs for a scoreless 42 yards. Though the final line wasn't impressive, he did still draw 10 targets from Michael Penix Jr., and it marked the third straight game in which the 24-year-old recorded double-digit targets. […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. Leads the Way With Seven Receptions, On Pace for 85-Catch Season

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. tied for the team lead in targets (10) and recorded the most catches (seven) in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, totaling 62 yards in the contest. It was a nice bounce-back performance after a 3-18-0 line in Week 6, and reestablished his place as the No. 3 pass-catcher […]


Michael Penix Jr. Dealing With Bone Bruise in Foot, Considered Day-to-Day

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. completed 21 of his 38 pass attempts for 241 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions and a lost fumble in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the 49ers. Despite a banged-up San Francisco defense, the Falcons were only able to muster 10 points, a disappointing trend that has plagued […]


Darnell Mooney a Risky Play With Uncertain Health in Week 7

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers despite not practicing on Friday and only getting in two limited sessions earlier in the week. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 and missed Week 6 despite having a bye to get healthy in […]


Atlanta D/ST a Low-End Option on the Road in Week 7

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams has surprised this season, registering the fewest opponent yards per game in the NFL (253.4) and the fewest passing yards per contest (139.4), while tallying 14 sacks thus far, which is a 47-sack pace after logging just 31 sacks in 2024. The team currently ranks in the top 12 fantasy […]
