Michael Thomas Scores Twice In Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas started slowly in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. However, the former Ohio State Buckeye was critical in the Saints' comeback victory. Thomas scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including a score with under four minutes left in the game. Despite facing a talented Atlanta […]


Alvin Kamara Quiet In Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was disappointing in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran running back had only nine rushing attempts for 39 yards in the win. He was also limited in the passing game, catching three of his four targets for only seven yards. While the lack of […]


Jameis Winston Throws Two Touchdowns In Win

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston completed 67.7% of his passes in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. More importantly, the former top draft pick had two passing touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win. Winston spread the ball around, completing at least one pass to eight different receivers. Furthermore, the former Florida […]


Younghoe Koo Makes Four Field Goals In Loss

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made four-of-five field goal attempts in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran scored 18 fantasy points in the loss. Koo made both of his field goal attempts from inside the 50-yard line. The veteran also made two of three attempts from beyond 50 yards. Furthermore, his only […]


Falcons Defense Forces One Turnover In Loss

The Atlanta Falcons defense had an up-and-down Week 1 performance against the New Orleans Saints. Grady Jarrett led the way for the Falcons as he accounted for 1.5 of the team's four sacks in the loss. Atlanta also forced a Mark Ingram fumble late in the third quarter. However, the defense as a whole struggled. […]


Kyle Pitts Quiet In Week 1 Loss

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was quiet in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The second-year tight end saw a team-high seven targets, matching the rookie Drake London. However, the former Florida Gator caught only two of his targets for 19 yards. While many fantasy players had to play Pitts after […]


Olamide Zaccheaus Pulls In Four Receptions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus had a solid performance in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The veteran wide receiver caught all four of his targets for 49 receiving yards. He joined the rookie Drake London as the only two Atlanta receivers with over 40 receiving yards in the game. While […]


Drake London Has Five Receptions In Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was questionable heading into the Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints because of a knee injury. However, the first-round rookie receiver pulled in five of his seven targets for 74 receiving yards, leading the team in all three categories. Despite facing a talented New Orleans defense, London […]


Cordarrelle Patterson Finishes With Over 100 Rushing Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson had an impressive performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The veteran had 22 rushing attempts for 120 yards and a touchdown. Patterson also added three receptions on five targets for 16 yards in the passing game. With Damien Williams suffering a rib injury early in the […]


Marcus Mariota Totals 215 Passing Yards In Defeat

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota was solid in his season debut. The former Oregon Duck had 33 pass attempts, completing 20 for 215 yards and no touchdowns. While his passing numbers are disappointing, Mariota added 72 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown on 12 attempts. Furthermore, he completed passes to seven different players, […]


Michael Thomas - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Sleepers

Is Michael Thomas Healthy or Injured? Should I Start Thomas for Week 1 Fantasy Football?

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is one of the more polarizing fantasy players entering the season. The former Ohio State Buckeye had a historic year in 2019. He caught 149 of his 185 targets for 1,725 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Furthermore, Thomas was the WR1 in every scoring format that year. However, […]


Robert Tonyan - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Robert Tonyan Healthy or Injured? Should I Start Tonyan for Week 1 Fantasy Football?

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan hasn't received much attention this offseason after playing only eight games last season. The former Indiana State tight end suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals and missed the rest of the 2021 season. Whether Tonyan would start the year on the physically unable […]


Falcons Defense A Desperate Streaming Option In Week 1

The Atlanta Falcons defense was one of the worst units in 2021. They had the fewest sacks in the NFL with 18 and were 20th in interceptions with 12. However, Atlanta made some improvements to their defense in the offseason. They added several veterans, including cornerback Casey Hayward and linebacker Rashaan Evans. The Falcons also […]


Younghoe Koo – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was a top fantasy kicker in 2020. He made all but two of his 39 field goal attempts that year. Unfortunately, the Atlanta offense struggled in 2021, and his numbers regressed. Koo made 93.1% of his field goal attempts last season but had only 29 tries in 17 games. However, he was […]


Kyle Pitts Could Have A Disappointing Opening Week 1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is coming off a historic rookie season. He had 1,026 receiving yards last year, the second-most by a rookie tight end. However, the former fourth overall pick had only one touchdown in 2021. Despite the lack of touchdown production, Pitts was one of the top tight ends last season. Unfortunately, he […]


Olamide Zaccheaus – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has never been a fantasy-relevant player. He has never had more than 31 receptions any year of his career. Furthermore, the undrafted free agent from Virginia has five career touchdowns. The 25-year-old caught 31 of 53 targets for 406 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games in 2021. He signed a […]


Drake London A Risky Start In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) had a less-than-ideal preseason. He suffered a knee injury in the first preseason game and never saw the field again. The former USC Trojan is questionable for the matchup against the divisional rival New Orleans Saints. After being a limited participant in practice the past few days, […]


Damien Williams – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams won the backup job during the preseason and is listed as the No. 2 running back on the depth chart. However, Williams wasn't fantasy-relevant last year, scoring three total touchdowns on 56 touches with the Chicago Bears. Furthermore, Williams has never been a full-time starter. Yet, he averaged 4.7 yards per […]


Cordarrelle Patterson Low-End RB3 In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is coming off the best year of his career. The former first-round pick had 153 rushing attempts for 618 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns last season, all career highs. He also averaged a solid four yards per rushing attempt. Unfortunately, Patterson's matchup this week isn't ideal for fantasy […]


Marcus Mariota – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota heads into Week 1 as the starter. After winning the job early in training camp over the rookie Desmond Ridder, Mariota should start the first several games of the year, barring injury. However, the last time he was a full-time starter was in 2019 with the Tennessee Titans. That year, […]


odell beckham jr. fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Is Odell Beckham Jr. Worth Drafting In Fantasy Football?

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is currently a free agent. He tore the ACL in his left knee in the first half of Super Bowl LVI. If not for the injury, Beckham would be on an NFL roster. The former 12th overall pick has a career full of highlight reel plays and elite fantasy production. […]


james conner fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Is James Conner a Good Fantasy Pick? Where Should I Draft Him?

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner’s NFL career has been full of ups and downs. The former third-round pick started his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before joining the Cardinals during the 2021 offseason. During his first season, Conner was primarily Le’Veon Bell’s backup. However, Conner turned into a fantasy star when Bell sat out […]


Antonio Gibson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Antonio Gibson (RB, WAS) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~55 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~68 ANALYSIS: Editor's Note: Since this post was published, Robinson sustained two gunshot wounds in an armed robbery attempt. Fortunately, he was released from the hospital on Monday. However, he will miss some time to begin the regular season, opening the door for Gibson to be the primary […]


Kenyan Drake Signs With The Ravens: Where Should I Draft Drake For Fantasy Football?

The Baltimore Ravens reportedly signed free agent running back Kenyan Drake today. He was released by the Las Vegas Raiders last week after one year with the team. The seven-year veteran has bounced around the NFL during his career. Over the past year, Baltimore’s backfield has been a nightmare for fantasy football players. J.K. Dobbins […]


David Njoku - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is David Njoku The TE1 For The Browns? Should I Draft Him in Fantasy Football?

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has failed to live up to his first-round draft pedigree. Last season he was the TE22, averaging only 6.7 PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Njoku has finished outside the top-20 tight ends in four of his five NFL seasons. Last year, Njoku played only 63.4% of the snaps […]


Will Myles Gaskin Make The Dolphins Roster? Is Gaskin Worth Drafting?

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was the starter last year. While he averaged 3.5 yards per rushing attempt and 10.2 PPR fantasy points per game, his fantasy value plummeted this offseason. After hiring former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their new head coach, the Dolphins signed multiple running backs in free […]


Younghoe Koo Perfect Against The Jaguars

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made all four extra point attempts in the 28-12 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. Koo has played well during the preseason, making all five of his field goal attempts. He was the top-scoring kicker in 2020 but finished outside the top 15 kickers last season. The Falcons will struggle to […]


Cameron Batson Leads Falcons In Receptions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Cameron Batson caught three of his four targets for 22 receiving yards in their 28-12 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Kyle Pitts and Drake London not playing in this game, he led the Falcons with three receptions in the preseason finale. While the 26-year-old led the team in receptions and targets against the Jaguars, he doesn't […]


Tyler Allgeier Scores Twice In Win

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Tyler Allgeier rushed eight times for 26 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Saturday's 28-12 preseason win over the Jaguars. He had a massive performance, finding the end zone twice on nine touches in the preseason finale. The 22-year-old caught a two-yard touchdown pass […]


Caleb Huntley Leads Falcons In Rushing

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley had 19 rushing attempts for 86 yards and a touchdown in their preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He led the team on the ground, averaging 4.5 yards per rushing attempt. His 86 rushing yards accounted for 64% of the team's total rushing yards Saturday afternoon. With Cordarrelle Patterson sitting out […]
