Falcons Cut Qadree Ollison

The Atlanta Falcons cut running back Qadree Ollison on Tuesday, according to a league source. The former fifth-round pick led the team in rushing touchdowns (four) in his rookie season in 2019, so he'll likely receive calls from interested teams now that he's on the open market. With the 25-year-old out of the picture in […]

Tight End Dynasty Rankings - Fantasy Football Tiers and Draft Analysis

Fantasy football general managers do not build their dynasty league rosters and fantasy futures around the tight end position. Sure, tight ends are more important than kickers, defenses, and backups at the other skilled positions, but they take a back seat to quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. This does not mean tight ends should […]

Falcons Preparing Desmond Ridder To Play This Year

Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder got the bulk of the work in the preseason and went 34-for-56 for 431 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Head coach Arthur Smith coached Ridder so hard throughout the process that it's clear the team is trying to get him ready for at least some action in his […]

Tyler Allgeier Projected As Third-String Back

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier opened up some eyes during the preseason. The rookie back scored two touchdowns during their preseason finale, which was great to see. Right now, The Athletic has Allgeier projected as the team's third-down back. Cordarrelle Patterson is listed as the starter with Damien Williams as the primary backup. The […]

Will Tyler Allgeier or Cordarrelle Patterson Be the RB1 for the Falcons?

The Atlanta Falcons offense looks quite underwhelming entering 2022, and their backfield might be the worst in the NFL. Still, there could be some low-end value from this unit if we can determine whom the starting running back will be. Atlanta welcomes back hybrid breakout Cordarrelle Patterson once again, but they're also introducing rookie Tyler […]

Is Michael Pittman Jr. A Good Fantasy Pick? Where Should I Take Michael Pittman Jr. In 2022 Drafts?

There aren't many players in the NFL that have had the meteoric rise in fantasy value that Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has over the past year. Around this time in 2021, Pittman was being selected in the 10th round as the WR45 in half-PPR fantasy drafts. After his second season as a […]

Drake London (WR, ATL) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~93 ANALYSIS: The receiver depth chart is barren in Atlanta. It includes names like Auden Tate and Olamide Zaccheaus.

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 […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Preseason Week 3 (8/27/22)

Playing DFS is difficult in the preseason, especially in the final week of the preseason.

All-Sleeper Team for Fantasy Football - Rachaad White, Nico Collins, Kyle Philips, and more

This isn't the All-Madden team. A sleeper isn't always going to hit but when they do, it can give you a huge advantage. What I have done for the third straight season is compile a team of sleepers consisting of players being drafted in the mid-to-late rounds, or not at all. All preseason long, the […]

Atlanta Falcons rookie first-round wide receiver Drake London (knee) didn't take part in Thursday's training camp practice.

Adam Koffler's Bold Predictions for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season

If you don't appreciate a good bold prediction, you don't like fun. Bold predictions are inherently fun and elicit strong reactions from lots of people. Now, bold predictions, while bold of course, should have sound justification for why they could come to fruition. While I really like Nyheim Hines this season, stating he'll be a […]

Mid-Round Quarterback Draft Values for Fantasy Football

Once you reach the middle rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside players that can provide a great return on value.

Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Goedert is being drafted as the TE8 in drafts, but I think he has the potential to crack the top 3 and carries just as much upside as Kyle Pitts who is being taken around 50 picks earlier. The Philly pass-catcher is poised for a […]
