Hayden Hurst Held To One Catch By Saints

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught just one of four targets for nine receiving yards in a loss to New Orleans. After putting up a goose egg against the Saints earlier this year, Hurst was again stymied by their defense. While it's disappointing to see him produce so little, it's worth noting that the […]

Russell Gage Hauls In Garbage Time Score

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage was having a relatively quiet day for fantasy purposes until the fourth quarter of a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Gage grabbed a 10-yard touchdown catch with 7:43 left to go in the game, solidifying a 4-50-1 line on eight targets. The 24-year-old seems to benefit when the Falcons […]

Calvin Ridley Paces Team In Receiving Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in five of 10 targets for a team-high 108 receiving yards in a losing effort. Ridley's 108 yards were his highest total since Week 5, as he saw at least nine targets for the third straight game. The 25-year-old made a tremendous, outstretched grab late in the first […]

Julio Jones Ties For Team Lead In Targets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones caught six of 10 targets for 94 yards in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Jones was questionable heading into the contest, though he toughed out the injury to post his fifth game with at least 90 receiving yards this year. The All-Pro wideout has at least seven targets […]

Todd Gurley II Stymied By New Orleans

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II carried the ball eight times for 16 rushing yards and caught one pass for four yards in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Gurley was banged up with a knee injury heading into the contest and was clearly held back, as the coaching staff opted for a running […]

Matt Ryan Has Quiet Day In Loss To Saints

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 19 of 39 passes for 273 yards and one touchdown in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Ryan got his favorite target back in Julio Jones but was unable to get much going until he salvaged his day with a late, fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Russell Gage. In Ryan's […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II Officially Active

The Atlanta Falcons will be close to full strength on Sunday against the Saints, with wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) both officially active.
