Michael Penix Jr. a Low-End QB2 With Upside Versus San Francisco

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is coming off two consecutive solid performances and will take on the 49ers on the road in San Francisco on Sunday night.

The San Francisco defense has allowed the 18th-most half-point fantasy PPR […]

Kyle Pitts Sr. Falls Flat on Monday Night, but is He About to Take Off?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. underwhelmed in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills, catching three of four targets for just 18 yards and no scores. It was easily his lowest fantasy output so far this season, but it was somewhat expected against a Buffalo defense that had been one of the toughest units in […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. completed 20 of 32 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-14 win over the Bills, adding two rushes for six yards.

Tyler Allgeier Scores Again, but Can his Pace be Sustained?

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier broke off a 21-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter of Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills, his third touchdown of the season. Outside of that electric play, the 25-year-old managed only 11 yards on nine carries (1.2 yards per rush), and he added one catch for six yards. The […]

Brandon Woodruff Will Not be on NLCS Roster

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (lat) will not be on the National League Championship Series roster. NLCS Game 1 is on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Milwaukee, but the right-hander has yet to begin playing catch, so there is no need to include him. The 32-year-old is working his way back from […]

Blake Snell Named Game 1 Starter for NLCS

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell has been named the starting pitcher for Monday's Game 1 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers. The southpaw finished the regular season strong, allowing one earned run over his final three starts (19 innings pitched), allowing a total of nine hits and five walks while striking out 28. […]

Parker Romo Not a Preferred Option at Kicker in Week 6

Atlanta Falcons kicker Parker Romo has filled in admirably since he was made the starter in Week 2, going 5-for-5 on extra points and 7-for-9 on field goal attempts, with his two misses coming from 49 yards and 55 yards out. The 28-year-old has been given at least two field goal attempts in each of […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III Not a Viable Option in Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III played just 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 4, which put him behind even Casey Washington (52 percent), who was healthy for the first time since Week 1. In Week 1, Washington also played more snaps than McCloud (95 percent vs. 72 percent) in a […]

Tyler Allgeier a Risky Flex Play if Falcons Fall Behind Early

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered 16 rush attempts and rumbled his way to 51 yards and his second touchdown of the season in Week 4. It was his third dose of double-digit carries through the team's first four games, but the fourth-year pro is averaging just 3.6 yards per rush compared to Bijan […]

Drake London a Reliable WR1 Even in Tough Matchup Versus Bills

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had his best game of the season by far his last time out, putting up 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets and eight catches.

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Low-End TE1 in Difficult Matchup Against the Bills

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has been a steady performer so far this year, logging at least five targets and at least four receptions in each of the team's first four games, even logging a season-high 70 yards receiving and catching his first touchdown pass of the season in Week 4. Week 6 brings a difficult matchup […]

Bijan Robinson a High-Floor, High-End RB1 in Week 6

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage for the fourth straight game in Week 4, which also included his second touchdown of the season (first rushing score) and his second game with at least 100 yards receiving. With a minimum of five targets and three catches in each of the team's […]

Michael Penix Jr. Faces Tough Test Against Bills in Week 6

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is coming off a 313-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 4, and although a Week 5 bye afforded him extra time to prepare for the team's Week 6 opponent, the Bills will present a challenge nevertheless. Buffalo has allowed the seventh fewest fantasy points per game to opposing QBs so […]

Michael Penix Jr. Bounces Back, but a Challenge Lies Ahead

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. got back on track in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, completing 20 of his 26 passes for 313 yards and two scores.

From Mr. Boom/Bust to Mr. Consistent, Kyle Pitts Sr.'s Arrow is Pointing Up

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his best week of the season to date in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, reeling in all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown, his first of the year. That now makes four straight weeks with at least five targets and at least […]

Brice Matthews Recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land

Houston Astros second base prospect Brice Matthews was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday. The Astros' top-ranked prospect spent 11 games with the team in July, and although he only recorded five hits in 35 at-bats (.143), three of them were home runs. At Triple-A this year, the 23-year-old slashed .260/.371/.458 with 17 home […]

Jacob Berry's Walk-Off Home Run Secures Triple-A Championship for Jacksonville

Miami Marlins infield/outfield prospect Jacob Berry ended his season in style, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, including a game-winning, walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth of the Triple-A Championship game, securing an 8-7 victory over the Las Vegas Aviators (Athletics).

Chris Paddack Will Start in Place of Tarik Skubal on Sunday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Chris Paddack will start on Sunday in the season finale against the Red Sox instead of the originally scheduled starter, Tarik Skubal. Although the AL Central race is tied between the Guardians and the Tigers heading into the final day of the regular season, Detroit has already secured a berth in the […]

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 […]

Dylan Ross Called Up from Triple-A Syracuse

New York Mets pitching prospect Dylan Ross was called up on Saturday from Triple-A Syracuse to help fortify the Mets' bullpen in a last-minute push for the playoffs. It will be Ross' major league debut if he enters the team's final game on Sunday after not appearing in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Marlins. 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. His involvement is a solid increase from 2024, when he garnered 13.7 percent target share, compared to this […]

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. Mooney led the team in targets in Week 3 with 11, but was only able to turn it into four catches for 44 scoreless yards. The 27-year-old likely won't garner double-digit targets again […]

Drake London's Heavy Involvement Keeps Him in WR1 Territory

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 […]

Johnathan Rodriguez Recalled from Triple-A Columbus

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Johnathan Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday to replace the injured David Fry (face).
