Week 16 is here, and fantasy championships are on the line. Some teams head into the fantasy finals as big favorites but others are scrapping to pull off a big win as underdogs.

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 16

Every once in a while, the schedule gods look down and gift us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. After a grueling 15 weeks and a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs, and even more downs, it's time for all of the league's biggest losers to put up or shut up in […]

Falcons Defense Shouldn't Be Trusted In Week 16

The Falcons Defense looks like a decent fantasy option for Week 16 on paper. They've had some standout efforts in the second half of the season and have allowed only two of their past six opponents to top 22 points in a game. In Week 16, they face a Jaguars team that is averaging 17.9 […]

Keep Rolling With Younghoe Koo In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has excelled since joining the Falcons in November. He's hit 17-of-19 field goal attempts, including several from over 40 yards. He's attempted three field goals-or-more in all but one of his six games with the team. This week, the Falcons face the Jaguars in a game that should have a […]

Austin Hooper Is A Strong Starting Option In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has disappointed since his return from injury in Week 14. He has just five catches for 52 yards over the past two weeks combined. The team lost Calvin Ridley (abdominal) for the season prior to last week's game and that makes Hooper more of a focal point going forward. […]

Russell Gage Has Decent PPR Value In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has caught five or more passes in three of his past four games. With Calvin Ridley (abdominal) out for the season, Gage is now the team's de facto No. 2 receiver, even though he plays more of a slot receiver-like role. This week, the Falcons face the Jaguars in […]

Julio Jones Should Stay Hot Versus Jaguars

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones saw a season-high 20 targets in Week 15 against the 49ers. He delivered his biggest fantasy game of the year with 13 catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns. It was the team's first game with Calvin Ridley (abdominal), who is out for the season. Quarterback Matt Ryan was […]

Qadree Ollison Not A Starting Option in Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison has three touchdowns over just 17 carries so far this year. That's as many rushing touchdowns as the team's top two running backs Devonta Freeman and Brian Hill combined and that duo has over 200 combined rushing opportunities on the year. Still, Ollison is nothing but a touchdown-or-bust running […]

Steer Clear Of Brian Hill In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill earned just one touch in Week 15 against the 49ers. It was a surprising development after he'd compiled 16 touches the previous two games as the team's No. 2 back behind Devonta Freeman. It was Freeman's show alone in Week 15 as he had 12 of the 14 running […]

Devonta Freeman Is An RB2 Option In Week 16

It hasn't been pretty for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman this year, but he's still managed to deliver decent value through his workload alone. Freeman is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry this year and is yet to top 90 rushing yards in a game. However, he's a lock for double-digit carries on a […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Serviceable In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should be able to put together a solid line in Week 16 against the Jaguars. The Falcons have struggled to develop a run game all year, so Ryan will likely be relied upon to throw the ball around 40 times in the game. Star wide receiver Julio Jones is coming […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round

After injuries destroyed many a playoff hope in Week 14, we saw some heroes rise from the ashes to guide us through Week 15.

Falcons Defense Recovers Two Fumbles In Win Over 49ers

The Falcons Defense was able to come through with a solid performance despite being in a tough spot on the road against the 49ers in Week 15. They recovered two fumbles in the game and held the 49ers to 22 points. The 49ers had scored over 35 points in three of their previous four games […]

Younghoe Koo Hits His Only Field Goal Attempt Versus 49ers

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo only had one field goal attempt against the 49ers in Week 15, but he was able to connect on it. He hit a 43-yard field goal and he was also 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts. Koo is now 17-of-19 on field goals with the Falcons this year. He's a solid starting […]

Austin Hooper Has A Quiet Game In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a disappointing showing in Week 15 against the 49ers. He was targeted six times in the game, but wound up with just three catches for 20 yards. The Falcons leaned heavily on Julio Jones in this game. Jones was targeted 20 times and accounted for 134 of the […]

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage caught five of his six targets for 27 yards in Week 15 against the 49ers. He also added a six-yard rush. The Falcons came away with an impressive victory in the game and they leaned heavily on Julio Jones to get the win. Jones caught 13 passes for 134 […]

Julio Jones Explodes For 134 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones dominated the 49ers in Week 15, delivering one of his biggest games of the year and ending his nine-game touchdown drought. Jones was targeted a whopping 20 times by Matt Ryan in the game and reeled in 13 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns. Ryan only had a […]
