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 […]


Bijan Robinson Totals 100-Plus Yards, but Target Volume Takes a Hit

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a solid, albeit unspectacular, fantasy day in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. The 23-year-old rushed 14 times for 70 yards and caught both of his targets for an additional 37 yards. He was unable to find the end zone, though, as wide receivers Darnell Mooney and David Sills […]


After Two-Touchdown Game, Could Kirk Cousins Become a Viable Fantasy Option?

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins did enough to help his team win on Sunday, leading them to a 24-10 victory over the Saints. He completed 16 of 23 pass attempts for 199 yards and two touchdowns along with one interception, adding two rushes for five yards. It's probably the best fantasy managers could have hoped for […]


Atlanta D/ST Viable in Expected Low-Scoring Matchup Vs. Saints

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams gets a favorable matchup in Week 12 against the Saints, an offense that has provided the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses through 11 weeks of the season. Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has thrown a couple of picks during his two and a half games played, but it is the […]


KhaDarel Hodge Could See More Volume in Week 12

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge could be in line for a bump in volume in Week 12 against the Saints as Drake London (knee) is sidelined due to injury, with London's double-digit target volume up for grabs. The team's other back-end receiving options, David Sills V and Casey Washington, will also be vying for targets, but […]


Kirk Cousins a Low-End QB2 in Road Matchup Against the Saints

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins will make his second start of the season on the road in Week 12 against the Saints, with the team losing Michael Penix Jr. (knee) to injury for the rest of the year. The 37-year-old started the team's Week 8 contest against the Dolphins, but unsurprisingly looked rusty, completing 21 […]


Tyler Allgeier Remains a Touchdown-Dependent Flex Option in Week 12

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier notched his seventh touchdown in 10 games last week despite totaling just 16 yards from scrimmage (three rushes for 10 yards, two catches for six yards). The touchdowns have made the 25-year-old fantasy relevant this year, but as frequent as they've become, he still owns an extremely low floor, […]


Kyle Pitts Sr. a Low-Floor TE1 With QB Change

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had a quiet Week 11 with three targets and two catches for 38 yards, but he could be in line for more work in Week 12 against the Saints. Averaging over six targets, four catches, and 43 yards per game in 2025, the 25-year-old could see a couple […]


Darnell Mooney Back on Fantasy Radar as WR3 in Week 12

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney has missed two games this season due to injury and has just 16 catches for 224 scoreless yards in the eight contests he's played in, but heads into Week 12 in a prime position to jump back into fantasy relevance. The 28-year-old goes into the weekend without an injury […]


Bijan Robinson a Top-Tier RB1 Despite Challenging Offensive Environment

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11, adding four catches for 39 yards. It ended a three-week stretch in which the 23-year-old did not go over 100 yards from scrimmage or score a touchdown, but he's still averaging over 78 rush yards and over four catches […]

Jarod's 7 Early Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions - 2026 Player Outlooks

The postseason just ended, but it's never too early to start thinking about next season. The winter meetings haven't even started yet, so there are still lots of names who could be in new homes by the time spring training rolls around, perhaps including one of the names below. While there will be plenty of […]


Will Kyle Pitts Sr. be More Involved in Week 12?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. logged his second straight two-catch performance in Week 11's 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers after catching at least three passes in each of his first eight games of the season. It would seem his involvement is trending downward, however, wide receiver Drake London (knee) will likely miss Week 12, which […]


Atlanta D/ST on the Streaming Radar Against the Panthers

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams has an enticing matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, an offense that has yielded the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing defenses so far this season. Despite allowing 31 points last week, Atlanta tallied one interception and one fumble recovery, along with a whopping seven sacks, now with 13 […]
