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 […]


Darnell Mooney a Low-End WR3 in Tough Matchup Against Seattle

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney underwhelmed last week with his opportunity to produce while the team's top receiver, Drake London (knee), was out with an injury, catching just two of his five targets for 25 scoreless yards. It would be misguided to expect the same production as London out of Mooney, though, as the […]


Bijan Robinson a Solid RB1 Despite Tough Matchup Vs. Seattle

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson continues to produce despite his team losing six of the last seven games, as he's currently the fourth-ranked running back in PPR formats after adding five receptions for 51 yards to his 142-yard rushing total in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 23-year-old's seven targets were an […]


Is Kirk Cousins a Streaming Option if Top Receiver Returns in Week 14?

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of his 33 passes for 234 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 37-year-old looked Kyle Pitts Sr.'s way most often (eight targets), which has been the case in each of his three starts this season, but again spread the […]


Is David Sills V in Line for More Work After Recording Another Touchdown Catch?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V hauled in two of his four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. It was the second consecutive week in which the 29-year-old secured a touchdown pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Surely fantasy managers who were desperate enough to deploy Sills were happy […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. Leads Team in Receiving, Will He Provide an Encore in Week 14?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. led the team in receiving in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets, securing seven of his eight targets for 82 yards, all of which were team highs. The 25-year-old has been Kirk Cousins' favorite receiving option this season, averaging around seven targets in each of the three contests Cousins […]

6 Fantasy Baseball Prospects On the Rise - Arizona Fall League Standouts (2025)

It doesn't seem like that long ago that the minor league regular season and playoffs came to a close, but now the Arizona Fall League (AFL) has already wrapped up as well. Now that it is, we can look back and see who made an impact and could be on the rise. While the AFL […]


Atlanta D/ST to Keep Rolling in Favorable Matchup Against Jets

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams will be in position to keep rolling in Week 13 as they take on a Jets team featuring Tyrod Taylor at quarterback and averaging just 17 points per game over the last three weeks. The Falcons have been getting after opposing QBs as of late, recording five sacks or more […]


Zane Gonzalez Looks to Stay Perfect in Week 13 Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez went 3-for-3 on field goals last week, including nailing one from 56 yards out, and is now 6-for-6 in three games as the team's place kicker. The 30-year-old is also perfect on extra points, going 6-for-6 over the three-game stretch. The team's third kicker this season has appeared to have […]


Tyler Allgeier a Low-Floor Fantasy Option in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered double-digit carries in Week 12, rushing 12 times for 44 yards, and even received one target, which he caught for five yards. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who deployed him as a Flex option, the 25-year-old was unable to find the end zone as he'd done in three of […]


David Sills V a Speculative WR Option in Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V made the most of his opportunity last week with Drake London (knee) absent, hauling in two of his three targets for 16 yards and one touchdown. London has been ruled out for Week 13 again, so Sills should get an opportunity to be fantasy relevant for a second […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. a Volume-Dependent TE1 in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. hauled in just two passes for 25 scoreless yards in Week 12, but despite the limited production, the 25-year-old is now 2-for-2 in leading the team in targets in the two games this season with Kirk Cousins at the helm. The other commonality in those two contests was […]


Kirk Cousins a Low-End QB2 for Week 13 Matchup Vs. Jets

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 199 yards and a pair of touchdowns (one interception, too) last week in his second start of the season and first since Week 8. The veteran was able to put that solid fantasy performance together despite completing just 16 passes (23 attempts). It could be tough sledding in […]


Darnell Mooney is Atlanta's No. 1 Wide Receiver in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney is set to be the team's No. 1 wideout again with Drake London (knee) having been ruled out for the second consecutive week. Kirk Cousins only attempted 23 passes in Week 12 and spread the ball around to seven different receivers, so Mooney was limited to just three targets, […]


Bijan Robinson Remains a High-End RB1 in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has had at least 88 yards from scrimmage in 10 of 11 games this season, but with six total touchdowns, he's well off the 15-touchdown pace he set in 2024. The 23-year-old draws a favorable matchup in Week 13 on the road against the Jets, a defense that has […]


With Just Two Receptions in Week 12, Can Kyle Pitts Sr. Still be a TE1 Going Forward?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded two catches for 25 scoreless yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. While the result was disappointing, the silver lining was that with five targets, the 25-year-old led the team in that statistic. The same was true the last time Kirk Cousins was the starter in Week […]


David Sills V Catches a Touchdown, Could it Lead to More Work?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V caught two of his three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. With Drake London (knee) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) both missing this game, the offense looked a bit different, and the volume was more spread out, with Charlie Woerner […]
