Mack Hollins A Desperation Play In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins hasn't been non-existent in the Falcons' limited passing game through two weeks, but he also isn't a recommended flex play heading into a pretty juicy matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road. Through the first two games of the 2023 season, Hollins has six receptions on 10 targets […]

Desmond Ridder Has A Good Matchup In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder will be facing a Detroit Lions defense in Week 3 on the road that has allowed 25.1 fantasy points per game (fifth-most) to the QB position through two weeks. They also just placed star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral) on Injured Reserve. Ridder hasn't set the world on fire in his […]

Younghoe Koo A Strong Week 3 Kicker Option

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo missed one of his two extra point attempts but connected on all four of his field goal attempts in the win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Koo has had plenty of fantasy value over the last few seasons and should continue to be trusted in fantasy lineups, […]

Kyle Pitts Draws Favorable Week 3 Matchup

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has continued to be disappointing in fantasy football, catching just four passes for 49 yards thus far in 2023. However, the tight end position is scarce and weak overall, so fantasy managers might just want to ride it out with him and hope a boom week comes. His Week […]

Drake London Has High Ceiling, Low Floor Against Lions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught zero passes in Week 1, then caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Given the Falcons' run-heavy approach, London is likely to be game-script dependent. Head coach Arthur Smith doesn't mind keeping […]

Tyler Allgeier Remains Mid-Level Flex Option

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was the RB4 overall in standard scoring formats in Week 1 but had a disappointing Week 2 effort with 16 carries for 48 yards. However, his workload is still respectable enough to roll the dice on him in FLEX spots, especially in the deep leagues. In Week 3 against […]

Bijan Robinson Set Up For Another Big Week

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been as advertised thus far in his NFL career. The No. 8 overall pick has rushed 29 times for 180 yards and caught 10 of his 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown through two weeks. Against the Detroit Lions in Week 3, he should continue to […]

Giants vs. 49ers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Daniel Jones, Matt Brieda, Darren Waller, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Brock Purdy

Our string of two straight Thursday Night Football bangers likely comes to an end this week when the injury-plagued New York Giants visit the San Franciso 49ers. Last week's Vikings-Eagles matchup turned into a fantasy bonanza, and while that might be the case for the 49ers in Week 3, it's hard to make a case […]

Fantasy Football Takeaways from Week 2 - Monday Musings

After an rather underwhelming Week 1 in which scoring was noticeably down, things did improve a bit in Week 2, as some fantasy managers had their studs wake up, while others realized they could be in for a long season. It's natural to have instant reactions to the football we just watched on Sunday, so […]

Falcons Defense Posts Uneventful Week 2 Performance

The Atlanta Falcons defense allowed the Green Bay Packers to score 24 points in their Week 2 victory. Linebacker Kaden Elliss tallied one sack against Jordan Love but the rest of the team failed to force a sack or turnover. The defensive play is still encouraging as the Packers were only able to muster 224 […]

Younghoe Koo Kicks Four Field Goals In Week 2 Victory

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo went a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. That included the game-winning kick late in the fourth quarter. He did, however, miss one of his two extra-point attempts. Koo's longest field goal came from 39 yards out, so there were no […]

Tyler Allgeier Sees Double-Digit Carries Again

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed the ball 16 times for 48 yards in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. It was once again a healthy workload for the RB2 in Atlanta, who saw 15 carries in Week 1. This time around, the former fifth-round pick didn't see much running space. […]

Kyle Pitts Quiet Again In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught just two passes for 15 yards in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. The former first-round pick saw the least amount of targets (five) among receivers who saw at least one. The second tight end on the depth chart, Jonnu Smith, outperformed […]

Drake London Rebounds In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London grabbed six catches for 67 yards and one touchdown in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Falcons got the second-year receiver involved in the game plan early following a non-existent Week 1 stat line. London was on the receiving end of Desmond Ridder's first pass […]

Bijan Robinson Posts Another Strong Performance

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson finished with 124 yards off 19 carries during the narrow win over the Packers. He added four catches for 48 yards. While he didn't find the end zone, this was arguably the best showing of his young career. Tyler Allgeier accounted for 16 touches in Week 2. Although Allgeier […]

Desmond Ridder Leads Birds To Another Win

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder passed for 237 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during the win over the Packers. He added 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown.
