Falcons Defense Should Stay Benched

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should stay benched this week when the Las Vegas Raiders come to town. Las Vegas has a capable QB in Derek Carr, along with solid weapons such as Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller, and Nelson Agholor. Meanwhile, Atlanta has allowed at least 20 points in nine of 10 games. The unit has […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 If Active In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 this week if active. The TE is currently dealing with an ankle injury and it remains to be seen if he plays. Hurst got nothing last week on two targets but has generally been decent this season. He has gotten at least 50 yards and […]

Russell Gage In The Flex Conversation

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is in the flex conversation this week. Due to Julio Jones going down with an injury last week, Gage had seven receptions for 58 yards on 12 targets. This week, Jones is still dealing with a hamstring injury and may be a game-time decision. If Jones doesn't play, Gage […]

Calvin Ridley A Low-End WR1 In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a low-end WR1 this week against the Raiders. It's worth noting he is dealing with a foot injury right now, but there is no sign that his status for Sunday is in jeopardy. Ridley posted five receptions for 90 yards on nine targets last week and has gotten […]

Julio Jones A Low-End WR1 This Week If Active

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is currently dealing with a hamstring injury and could be a game-time decision this week against the Raiders. Thus, if he plays, he will be a lower-end WR1 and certainly a riskier option to start considering his injury. Last week, Jones only managed two receptions for 39 yards on […]

Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB1 In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a low-end RB1 this week versus the Raiders. The RB is coming off a season-low eight carries for 26 yards but has nevertheless remained decent on this offense. Gurley still has had double-digit carries in nine of 10 games and has rushed for over 50 yards in […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Raiders

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 against the Raiders this weekend. Ryan has been a bit streaky this season and posted 232 yards and two picks last week. Overall, he has thrown for over 300 yards in only three of 10 games this season and only has four games with multiple passing […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 11's Studs Turned Duds

As we head into the NFL's premiere showcase, Thanksgiving Thursday, the league standings are a massive quagmire. Week 11 did little to settle things. Miami made up no ground on Buffalo atop the AFC East. In fact, the entire division is on a losing streak. Cleveland is now ahead of Baltimore, yet the point differentials […]

The Cut List (Week 12) - Time to Let Go?

As someone who faced Taysom Hill in both of my home leagues this week, I feel for anyone else who wound up in a similar position. I feel worse for the many people who voiced their concerns on this matter via Twitter (some admittedly in more reasonable tones than others) only to be derided or […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 12

This wasn't a great week in terms of wide receivers coming out of nowhere to perform, but that's what happens at this point in the season. Positional rotations solidify. Teams in contention keep their best players out there more. Etc., etc., etc. But this week did see Dez Bryant back on an NFL field again […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 is largely in the books with some nailbiter finishes and standout performances that will shape the stretch run. The injury headlines are dominated by Joe Burrow's suspected ACL tear, but we also saw La'Mical Perine and Rex Burkhead leave with knee injuries as well. And now J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are […]

Julio Jones On Track To Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) has earned the unique distinction of being tagged as a game-time decision for Sunday as early as Tuesday, per head coach Raheem Morris. Jones battled through the hamstring ailment to play in just 35 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps in Week 11, making him an extremely risky season-long […]

Younghoe Koo Nails Three Field Goals In Loss

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo made all three of his field-goal attempts in a 24-9 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Koo has now made multiple field goals in eight of nine contests this year and remains a top-five option at the position ahead of a Week 12 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Los […]

Hayden Hurst Blanketed By Saints

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst saw two targets but failed to haul in a pass in a Week 11 loss to the Saints. Hurst was steadily holding onto a good role in the offense coming into this game, which makes this performance odd. Still, the Falcons' offense as a whole should tip their caps […]

Russell Gage Sees Team-High 12 Targets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage saw a team-high 12 targets in a loss to the Saints. Gage's seven receptions were the most he's had in three weeks. The 24-year-old receiver eclipsed 50 yards for the third time in five games and could be looking at an expanded role if Julio Jones (hamstring) is forced […]

Calvin Ridley Leads Team In Receiving Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in five of nine targets for 90 receiving yards against the Saints. It was a tough loss for Atlanta- and the offense struggled at times without Julio Jones (hamstring), who left with an injury. Still, it was impressive that Ridley played as well as he did. The 25-year […]

Julio Jones Posts 39 Yards, Leaves With Injury

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) caught both of his targets for 39 yards in a loss to New Orleans. Jones had to limp off the field after his hamstring appeared to tighten up and was unable to return. The team expects an update on their star wideout's status on Monday. Just as they […]

Todd Gurley II Bottled Up By Saints

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II was completely stifled by the Saints Defense in a 24-9 loss. Gurley turned nine touches into 29 scoreless scrimmage yards, as the Saints defense proved to be an impenetrable wall. The former Ram couldn't salvage his day with a touchdown and didn't see his normal workload when the […]

Matt Ryan Throws Two Interceptions In Rough Day

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 19 of 37 passes for 232 yards and two interceptions in a rough loss to the Saints. Ryan was run over by the Saints Defense, as he was hit 11 times and sacked nine. The veteran quarterback also lost his favorite target Julio Jones (hamstring), who limped off with […]

Julio Jones Dealing With Hamstring Tightness

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones left Sunday's game against the Saints, but later returned. However, Jones is reportedly dealing with hamstring tightness and was not on the field at the end of the first half. The Falcons might be playing it safe with Jones and keeping him on the sidelines for the rest of […]
