Falcons Defense Not A Strong Starting Option For Week 3

The Falcons Defense had a surprisingly strong showing in Week 2 against the Eagles in their home opener, sacking quarterback Carson Wentz three times while also forcing two interceptions and holding the Eagles to 20 points in the game. This week, the Falcons go on the road to face the Colts, who don't have quite […]

Matt Bryant A Solid Starting Option For Week 3

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant should have the opportunity to put up some points in Week 3 against the Colts. After not attempting a kick in Week 1, Bryant had two field goal attempts and three extra-point attempts in Week 2. He hit all three of his extra-point attempts and went 1-for-2 on field goals, […]

Ito Smith Not A Starting Option In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has shown some positive signs through two games this season. He's carried the ball ten times for 63 yards, good for 6.3 yards per carry, which is far superior than the average of Falcons lead running back Devonta Freeman, who is averaging just 2.2 yards per carry. Still, it's […]

Mohamed Sanu A Risky Start In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has nine catches on 13 targets through two games, which is encouraging to see. However, he's been primarily targeted on short-yardage plays. He has just 73 yards on those nine catches, good for only 8.1 yards per reception. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are the big playmakers in the […]

Austin Hooper A Viable TE1 Starter In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has been heavily utilized by quarterback Matt Ryan so far this year. Through two games, Hooper has been targeted 15 times and has caught 13 of those targets for 111 yards. He's been mostly targeted on short routes. His yards per reception average is only 8.5, making him a […]

Calvin Ridley A Reliable WR2 In Week 3

It's been a flawless start to the season for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has scored touchdowns in each of his first two games and totalled 169 receiving yards. He should continue to produce for his owners in Week 3 as the Falcons take on the Colts. Ridley was targeted ten times in […]

Devonta Freeman Still A Worthy RB2 Start

It's been a nightmare start to the season for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. Through two games, Freeman has carried the ball 19 times for just 41 yards, while adding six catches for 54 yards. The receiving numbers are a nice little boost, but his 2.2 yards-per-carry average is atrocious. The Vikings and Eagles, […]

Julio Jones Primed For Another Big Week

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has three touchdowns through two games and has been peppered with targets as usual from quarterback Matt Ryan so far this year. He should keep his strong start going this week against the Colts. The Falcons have one of the top passing offenses in the league and they're yet […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Reliable Starter In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has five touchdowns and five interceptions through two games. He's been over 300 yards in each game this season and has a good chance to keep that streak going this week against the Colts. The Falcons' run game has yet to show any signs of life, forcing Ryan to throw […]

Mohamed Sanu Finishes With Under 20 Yards In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a weak showing on Sunday, catching four passes for just 16 yards on seven targets. The target number was certainly what you like to see for Sanu. It was one more than he'd received in Week 1 and he also had one more target than tight end Austin […]

Austin Hooper Cools Off Against Philly

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had just four receptions for 34 yards during the Week 2 win over the Eagles. After pulling in all nine of his looks against the Vikings in Week 1, Hooper cooled off and was barely targeted on Sunday night despite quarterback Matt Ryan throwing the ball 43 times. Hooper […]

Calvin Ridley Shines Again

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley pulled in eight receptions (10 targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown during the Week 2 victory over the Eagles. It was yet another promising showing for the sophomore wideout as he has now recorded 12 receptions and two scores on the year. Look for him to continue to […]

Julio Jones Leads Falcons To Win

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones pulled in just five of his 10 targets on Sunday against the Eagles, but still finished with 106 yards and two scores, including catching a 54-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter. After a semi-uneventful Week 1 showing against the Vikings, the veteran wideout managed […]

Devonta Freeman Quiet On The Ground

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman rushed for just 22 yards on 11 attempts during the Week 2 showdown with the Eagles, but he attempted to offset those numbers by pulling in three receptions for 42 yards. Nonetheless, it was still a relatively disappointing showing for the 27-year-old who has rushed for just 41 yards […]

Matt Ryan Has Seesaw Game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had an up-and-down game on Sunday night against the Eagles. Despite throwing for 320 yards and three touchdowns, the veteran also tossed three picks that nearly led to Atlanta’s second loss of the season. Nonetheless, Ryan was able to shine when it counted most and connected on a 54-yard touchdown […]
