I've already projected this year's quarterbacks and the first four tiers of running back. Now, it's time to continue by looking at the rest of the most fantasy-relevant running backs on draft day. Listed below are my rankings and projections for the 2019 season, which will hopefully help you find some clarification if you are […]

2019 Yardage Regression Candidates - Wide Receivers

While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football (they award six points to the scorer), total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't […]

Falcons Add Blair Walsh

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent kicker Blair Walsh on Saturday. The 29-year-old is a former All-Pro that was taken by Minnesota in the sixth round in 2012. He hit 84.2 percent of his kicks in five years with the Vikings and was last with Seattle in 2017, where he made 72.4 percent of his kicks. […]

Deeper Dynasty Sleepers to Stash (Premium Content)

Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes in fantasy football. It could be the undrafted free agent that teams passed over on draft day. It could be a third-string RB that suddenly ascends to relevance. It could be a veteran receiver that finally finds a chance to shine. Or it could be that player from […]

Kenjon Barner To Be Main Kick Returner

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Kenjon Barner will "lead the way for us" at the return position. It doesn't mean much unless you're in a deep league that counts return yardage. Barner, 30, played in nine games with the Patriots and Panthers last year and ran the ball just 19 […]

Second-Year Players That Will Surge

Rookie players don't always pan out in the NFL and in fantasy football. Sometimes it takes a great landing spot or an injury for a rookie to become relevant early on. This list includes some second-year players that either disappointed in 2018 or did okay, but look to take a step forward in 2019. The […]

Qadree Ollison Has Team-High 12 Carries On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison was extremely active in Thursday's preseason game against the Redskins, carrying the ball 12 times for 42 yards, good for 3.5 yards per carry. Ollison has gotten a lot of run this preseason. He led the team in both carries and rushing yards in the Falcons' previous outing against […]

Justin Hardy Has Team-High 24 Receiving Yards On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Justin Hardy was the team's receiving yards leader on Thursday and all it took was one catch. Hardy was only targeted once in the game and reeled the target in for a 24-yard gain. The team's passing game wasn't quite operating on full efficiency, totaling just 80 passing yards on the […]

Ito Smith Scores Only Falcons Touchdown On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith was one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming offensive display for the Falcons on Thursday. In a game where the team totalled just 80 passing yards and seven points, Smith had five carries for 23 yards and a touchdown and also added a nine-yard reception. Lead […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Team-High Three Catches On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Thursday's game against the Redskins. Sanu played most of the first half of the game, his longest action in the preseason so far. Quarterback Matt Ryan played the entire first half of the game while fellow receiver Calvin Ridley […]

Austin Hooper Catches Just One Pass On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a quiet game on Thursday with just one reception for two yards on two targets. The Falcons had a pretty run-heavy attack during the game with over 30 rushes compared to just 20 pass attempts. Hooper is a low-end starting option at tight end this year. He totalled […]

Calvin Ridley Has Quiet Game On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley played most of the first half of Thursday's game against the Redskins and caught just one pass for nine yards on two targets. Ridley's reception came on the game's opening drive and he wasn't targeted again until the last drive of the first half. Mohamed Sanu led the team […]

Devonta Freeman Plays Just One Drive On Thursday

It was a brief outing for Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman on Thursday. His only action came on the team's opening drive, when he rushed the ball twice for three yards while adding a six-yard reception. Freeman had a nine-yard rush on the first play of the game, but it was called back on […]

Julio Jones Remains Out Of Action

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones was once again inactive for the team's fourth preseason game against the Redskins Thursday night. Jones is currently attempting to renegotiate his contract with the team, a bit of a standoff that has lasted several months now as Jones seeks a Michael Thomas-like deal. Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley […]

Matt Ryan Efficient Against Redskins

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan played the entire first half of Thursday's game against the Redskins. He completed nine of 14 passes for 74 yards and had two rushes for nine yards. It was a conservative game for Ryan, who was without his top receiver Julio Jones. Ryan will have a great arsenal at his […]

Falcons Kicker Giorgio Tavecchio Struggling

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio has struggled this preseason, hitting just four of his seven field-goal attempts. However, he has converted all three extra-point attempts. Tavecchio took over the team's kicking job for veteran Matt Bryant last year, giving him some big shoes to fill. Atlanta should have a strong offense this year and Tavecchio […]

Top Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters

Zero RB discussion comes and goes every season, it certainly works in theory. Running backs are injured more often than wide receivers, and that means you are better to spend your high draft capital on elite wide receiver talent, then pick up your running backs later (try and pick several to give you more opportunity […]

Devonta Freeman To See More Action Against Redskins

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman only saw six snaps and one carry in the team's last preseason game against the Jets, but Thursday's game against the Redskins should be different. Freeman is coming off knee, groin and sports hernia surgery and only played in two games last year. Falcons head coach Dan Quinn discussed […]

Dynasty Showdown: Evan Engram vs Dallas Goedert

Is New York’s Evan Engram going to be more valuable than Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert this year and in the coming years in dynasty fantasy football leagues? This intriguing question will be about as easy to answer as why we park in driveways and drive on parkways. Engram is coming off an injury-plagued season where he […]

Deion Jones To Return To Practice Next Week

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that linebacker Deion Jones (foot) will practice in full next week. Jones is coming off a season that saw him play in only six games due to injury, and Atlanta just could not catch a break with their best playmakers on defense suffering serious injuries. The 24-year-old's return […]

Qadree Ollison Showing Promise In Preseason

Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison has had a solid preseason so far and led the team in both carries and rushing yards in preseason Week 2. Ollison rushed nine times for 44 yards against the Jets this past week, good for a stellar 4.9 yards per carry. Ollison will be battling Ito Smith […]

Justin Hardy Has Three Catches Through Three Preseason Games

Over three preseason games, Atlanta Falcons fifth-year receiver Justin Hardy has caught three of his seven targets for just 24 yards. Hardy is firmly behind Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu on the team's depth chart, but he should be relatively secure as the team's fourth receiver, as everyone behind him has very little […]

Falcons, Julio Jones Closing In On Deal?

The Atlanta Falcons and their star wide receiver Julio Jones have been at a stalemate this offseason, but recent rumblings have suggested that a deal between the two parties could come to fruition soon. Jones's agent Jimmy Sexton is reportedly meeting with the Falcons' front office this week with the goal of locking down the […]

Sophomore Slump: Second-Year Players That Will Decline

The NFL had a number of breakout rookies last season. At each of the major positions on offense, you had guys that were performing as some of the better players in the league. While some, such as New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, will be able to continue that production, there are others which […]
