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. We'll see if that shakes his confidence after making just 73.5 percent of his field goals in 2024, […]

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Volatile Low-End TE1 in Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had a nice start to the season in Week 1, drawing eight looks from quarterback Michael Penix Jr., which was second-most on the team, and he recorded seven catches for 59 yards.

Ray-Ray McCloud III Still a Viable PPR Option After Solid Week 1

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III garnered five targets in Week 1, turning them into three receptions for 51 yards with a long of 24 yards.

Darnell Mooney Practices in Full, Will Make Season Debut on Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week, and heads into Sunday night's matchup with the Vikings without an injury designation.

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. In Week 2, he'll have a road matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, who were tough against the run […]

Bijan Robinson a High-Floor RB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran into a wall in Week 1 versus the Buccaneers, gaining just 24 yards on 12 attempts. However, he salvaged his day in the passing game, garnering seven targets and catching six of them for 100 yards receiving, which included a 50-yard touchdown scamper. 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. The 24-year-old suffered a shoulder sprain in Week 1 but appears to be on track to play in Sunday night's matchup against Minnesota. The former first-round draft pick was heavily involved last week, drawing 15 […]

Miami Marlins infielder Graham Pauley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
