Atlanta D/ST Should be Avoided in Road Matchup Against Vikings

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams ranked in the bottom third in points allowed per game last season (24.9) and struggled to get after the quarterback, finishing with the second-fewest sacks in the NFL (31). Both issues were apparent in Week 1, as the Falcons yielded 23 points to the Buccaneers and sacked the opposing quarterback […]

Tyler Allgeier a Low-End Flex Against Tough Minnesota Run Defense

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier earned double-digit touches in Week 1, although against a stout Tampa run defense, he was unable to convert them into much production, logging just 24 yards on 10 totes.

Younghoe Koo Not a Preferred Option at Kicker in Week 2

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was 2-for-2 on extra points in Week 1 and 2-for-3 on field goals, but the one field goal he missed was a 44-yarder that could have tied the game and sent it to overtime.

Michael Penix Jr. a Solid QB2 Option Against Banged-Up Vikings Defense

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. performed well in Week 1, completing 27 of 42 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown without throwing an interception, while also adding six rushes for 21 yards and a score.

Bijan Robinson a High-Floor RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

The 23-year-old could have a […]

Drake London Practices in Full, Projects as Low-End WR1 With Upside

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (shoulder) was a full participant at practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Travis Bazzana Removed With Oblique Injury on Thursday

Cleveland Guardians second base prospect Travis Bazzana (oblique) was removed from Thursday's game at Triple-A Columbus with left oblique soreness.
