Matt Bryant A Solid Low-End Start In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant didn't see any field-goal or extra-point attempts in Week 1. The Falcons scored two touchdowns in the game but attempted (and failed) two-point conversions on both occasions. This week, the Falcons host the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night, and the game should feature a lot of scoring, providing […]

Falcons Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 2

The Falcons Defense was run out of the building by the Vikings in Week 1. The Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison backfield led the Vikings to 172 rushing yards and both backs averaged over five yards per carry. The Vikings totalled 28 points in the game, allowed just one sack and didn't have any turnovers. […]

Ito Smith Not Start-Worthy In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith led the team in rushing in Week 1 with 31 rushing yards on six attempts. He was far more effective than lead running back Devonta Freeman and only saw two fewer carries. While Smith could certainly end up in a time-share with Freeman sooner rather than later, it's a […]

Mohamed Sanu A Potential Week 2 Starter In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu caught five of his six targets for 57 yards in Week 1 against the Vikings. His six targets tied with Calvin Ridley for third on the team behind Julio Jones (11) and Austin Hooper (9). Sanu should see around the same amount of targets as Ridley most weeks, but […]

Austin Hooper A Solid Start In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was one of the team's offensive standouts in Week 1, leading the team in both receptions (nine) and receiving yards (77). He caught all nine of his targets and was second on the team in targets in Week 1, behind only the great Julio Jones, who had 11 targets. […]

Calvin Ridley A Solid WR2 In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had 64 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings in Week 1 and should be able to duplicate or improve on those numbers in Week 2. The Falcons will host the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles' pass defense was exploited for 380 passing yards and […]

Devonta Freeman Worthy Of Starting In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had a game to forget in Week 1, when he gained just 19 yards on eight carries against the Vikings. This week, the Falcons face the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles have a strong rush defense and they held the Redskins to just 2.2 yards […]

Julio Jones Should Explode In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had an underwhelming start to the season in Week 1. While he did score a touchdown, he was held to only 31 yards in the game. That should change in Week 2 as the Falcons host the Eagles for their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles were torched by […]

Matt Ryan Should Rebound Against Eagles In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan ended up with a decent final line in Week 1, but the journey to getting there was anything but pretty. Ryan's Falcons were shut out for three quarters in the season opener against the Vikings, but a fourth quarter surge allowed Ryan to finish the day with 304 passing yards, […]

Week 1 of the 2019 regular season started off with a whimper on Thursday, as predicted, as Aaron Rodgers looked shaky in his new offense, albeit against a strong Bears Defense on the road.

Rookie Receiver Breakouts from Week 1: Trust or Bust?

Rookie wide receivers are generally hard to trust in fantasy football. Last year’s class, for example, did not produce any regular fantasy starters, although players such as Calvin Ridley, D.J.

Kaleb McGary Named Starter At Right Tackle

The Atlanta Falcons named rookie first-round pick Kaleb McGary as the starting right tackle on Tuesday. McGary split repetitions with Ty Sambrailo in the Week 1 loss to the Vikings, but McGary has won the job moving forward. Jamon Brown will now start at right guard in place of the injured Chris Lindstrom (foot). Atlanta's […]

Chris Lindstrom Out Eight Weeks

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons rookie right guard Chris Lindstrom (foot) is expected to be in a boot for around eight weeks after he broke a small bone in his foot in Week 1 against the Vikings, according to a source. He'll likely head to Injured Reserve but could return later this year. Losing […]

Chris Lindstrom May Have Broken Foot

The Atlanta Falcons fear that rookie right guard Chris Lindstrom (foot) suffered a broken foot in the Week 1 loss to the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lindstrom left the stadium in a walking boot and will undergo more tests on Monday. The 14th overall pick was expected to be a starter all […]

Ito Smith Leads Anemic Falcons Run Game With 31 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had six carries for a team-high 31 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Vikings. Smith was more effective than starting running back Devonta Freeman, who gained just 19 yards on eight carries. Smith also caught his only target in the passing game for nine yards. This could be […]

Julio Jones Scores Late Touchdown In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a rough opening week to the season, totaling just 31 receiving yards, but a late fourth-quarter touchdown saved his stat line for the week. Jones led the Falcons in targets (as usual) with 11, but only reeled in six of them. Jones recently ended his holdout by signing […]
