Kyle Pitts Sr. Seeing Uptick in Target Share, But Will it Last?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. reeled in four of his five targets in Sunday's 22-6 victory over the Vikings. Those catches produced just 37 yards, however, his involvement is encouraging thus far after underwhelming from 2022 through 2024. The former fourth-overall draft pick owns a 20.6 percent target share through the team's first two […]

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop prospect Elijah Hainline was promoted to Double-A Tulsa on Monday, just in time for the Double-A playoffs, which will begin Tuesday night.

Will Shorter Targets Doom Drake London's Quest for Second Straight 1,000-Yard Season?

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught three of his four targets in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings, totaling 49 yards receiving in the contest.

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. The 25-year-old back was a non-factor in the passing game, not even drawing a single target compared to Bijan Robinson's […]

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.

The 23-year-old could have a […]

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