Matt Ryan Ruled Out for Week 8

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Disaster averted. The Bills found themselves trailing against the lowly Dolphins but pulled it out late. Had Buffalo lost, more than 50 percent of remaining entrants in survivor pools would have been knocked out. The 49ers did their part in the monsoon in D.C while the Patriots cruised against the Jets. All my picks to […]

Matt Ryan Questionable For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is questionable for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Ryan is nursing an ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 7 and could be a game-time decision Sunday morning. The Falcons are 1-6 and in danger of getting head coach Dan Quinn fired, so they may roll Ryan out there […]

Mid-Season Awards: MVP's and LVP's

When it comes to awards, everything is subjective. Some people just go with the best player at each position. That is fine in real football but not in fantasy football. Christian McCaffrey has had the best season as a running back, but as the first or second pick in drafts, he needed to do so […]

Players to Buy Before the Trade Deadline

The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]

Russell Gage Has An Opportunity

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage will be the next man up inside now that Mohamed Sanu is playing for the Patriots. Buried on the depth chart this year, Gage has only four catches on eight targets for 44 yards, but he has a chance to step up in Atlanta's high-powered offense in three-receiver sets. […]

Matt Ryan Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is not expected to practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he continues to nurse his sprained ankle. The Falcons said earlier this week that they planned on Ryan starting in Week 8 against the Seahawks, but all signs right now point to Matt Schaub starting unless […]

Falcons' Future: Assessing Redraft and Dynasty Value in Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons’ downward spiral from Super Bowl LI in 2017 has continued and reached new lows this year. Last year’s 7-9 record seemed like a massive disappointment at the time, but with the team now sitting at 1-6 through seven games, the franchise is clearly in a position where it needs to start reassessing […]

Matt Bryant Is A Potential Low-End Starter In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant has converted seven of 10 field-goal attempts this year and 14 of 15 extra-point attempts. This week the Falcons face off against the Seahawks in a game that should be high scoring. The Falcons might be without quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle), who is currently questionable for the game. If Ryan […]

Falcons Defense Not Worth Consideration In Week 8

The Falcons Defense has been abysmal so far this year and has been the main contributing factor to the team's 1-6 record. This week they face the Seahawks, who have one of the league's most prolific offenses. The Seahawks rank fifth in the league in yards per game and they are scoring about 26 points […]

Matt Schaub Could Be A QB2 Starter

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub could make his first start of the season in Week 8 if starter Matt Ryan (ankle) is unable to go. Ryan, who has started 163 consecutive games, seems about 50/50 at this point. If Schaub ends up getting the nod, he could be a starter in two-quarterback leagues, as he'd […]

Justin Hardy Not Worthy Of Starting In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Justin Hardy should receive more opportunities going forward now that Mohamed Sanu is no longer with the team. However, the Falcons have a lot of mouths to feed in their passing game and Hardy will at best be the fourth option this week behind Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Austin Hooper. […]

Brian Hill Is Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill figures to be the team's No. 2 running back in Week 8 as Ito Smith (concussion) has been ruled out. Hill received his first opportunities this year in Week 7 after Smith's injury and the ejection of No. 1 running back Devonta Freeman. Unfortunately, he didn't do too much […]

Austin Hooper Is A Must-Start Regardless Of QB

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper has been absolutely fantastic for fantasy owners this year. He's caught 46 of his 55 targets for 526 yards and four touchdowns through seven games. This week, Hooper and the Falcons face the Seahawks. They might be without starting quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle), who is currently questionable while dealing […]

Calvin Ridley Is A WR2/WR3 Play In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley received a boost in his value going forward when the team traded away Mohamed Sanu, who had been targeted just two fewer times than Ridley on the season. Now, Ridley is the team's clear No. 2 receiver. Starting quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) is currently questionable for Week 8 and […]

Devonta Freeman Is An RB2 In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman struggled mightily in Week 7 before being ejected in the third quarter. Freeman has had a difficult season as a whole, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry and tallying over 30 rushing yards just twice over seven games this year. However, he's been extremely involved in the passing game […]

Julio Jones Remains A WR1 In Week 8

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones hasn't found the end zone since Week 3 and there's a chance he'll be catching passes from backup quarterback Matt Schaub this week, but he's still a clear top-10 starter at the position. In Week 8, Jones and the Falcons face the Seahawks, who have been amongst the middle-of-the-pack […]

Ito Smith Ruled Out For Week 8

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (concussion) was ruled out for Week 8 early this week. He's yet to clear concussion protocol. Smith suffered the injury early in Week 7's game against the Rams and was carted off the field. With Smith out, No. 1 running back Devonta Freeman should see around 20 touches against […]

Matt Ryan Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) sat out Wednesday's practice while dealing with the high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7. He is currently questionable for Week 8 against the Seahawks. Owners of Ryan need to keep an eye out for updates the next few days. Ryan has started a remarkable 163 consecutive games […]
