Matt Schaub Bounces Back On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub had a solid night on Thursday against Miami in the team’s second preseason game of the season. After going just 4-for-14 for 10 yards and an interception against the Denver Broncos during the league’s annual Hall of Fame Game, the veteran was productive against the Dolphins, finishing with 172 yards […]

Ito Smith Finds The End Zone On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith scored a touchdown during the preseason encounter with the Miami Dolphins. The Judge looked relatively unimpressive, however, as he would finish with just seven yards off of four carries. Smith has had a rough preseason over the last two weeks and has done little to convince the coaching staff […]

Qadree Ollison Scores In Preseason Action

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison had a solid night on Thursday, finishing things up against the Miami Dolphins with 41 yards and a touchdown off of eight rushing attempts. After an unimpressive outing against the Denver Broncos during the annual Hall of Fame Game that saw the rookie rush for two yards (six attempts), […]

Brian Hill Scores Another Preseason Touchdown

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill did it again, scoring another preseason touchdown, this time doing it off of a short rush late in the second quarter against the Miami Dolphins. Hill would finish rushing for only 23 yards off of eight carries, with Ito Smith and Qadree Ollison both combining for 15 attempts and […]

Matt Ryan Not Dressed For Meeting With Dolphins

Earlier in the week, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Matt Ryan would play a few series in Thursday's preseason opener against the Dolphins. But with rain forecasted for the game, it appears the Falcons are playing it safe and resting Ryan. Matt Schaub and Matt Simms will split the snaps in […]

Preseason NFL DFS Lineup Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel (8/8/19)

After a small sample of NFL action that saw the Denver Broncos narrowly defeat the Atlanta Falcons during the league’s annual Hall of Fame Game, the preseason officially kicks off on Thursday. With 11 games scheduled, we will get a better idea of who will make the cut as teams look to scale down their […]

Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again

Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]

ADP Showdown - Derrick Henry vs Josh Jacobs

Roll Tide. Both of these former Alabama running backs know this chant well. But which one of them do we want to roll with in 2019? Both players are on teams likely to struggle on offense. Both have quarterbacks who struggle with consistency, but both also have coaches who want to run the ball. A […]

Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings

I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]

Second Chance - Antonio Callaway

We have now advanced into August as our journey through the offseason nears its conclusion. Several developments during training camps have impacted the value for various players while preseason matchups will alter the fantasy landscape even further. Activities have also intensified for owners in redraft leagues, who are experiencing a massive surge in preparations for […]

Christian Blake With A Strong Preseason Showing

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Christian Blake caught five passes for 46 yards during the loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday. The 23-year-old led all receivers on the night and was more productive than rookie camp-standout Olamide Zaccheaus, who finished with two catches (six targets) for 31 yards. He won't have any fantasy impact at […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~110 I'll admit that Austin Hooper has never been a name that excited me, even after he finished as the PPR TE6 last season. That was aided by injuries to a lot of other tight ends, so it's not as impressive as it seems. But Hooper's third […]

Brian Hill Has An Impressive Night On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a solid outing on Thursday night in the loss to the Denver Broncos, finishing things up with 11 carries for 57 yards in addition to two receptions, with one of them resulting in a trip to the end zone. The 23-year-old was relatively unproductive last season, rushing the […]

Kurt Benkert Makes Strong Case For Backup Job

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert looked good on Thursday despite his team falling to the Denver Broncos in the first preseason game of the season. The 24-year-old, who exited the game prematurely after suffering a toe injury, finished the night by going 19-for-24 for 185 yards in addition to completing a touchdown pass to running […]

Stop Drafting TEs Early - Wait for Delanie Walker or Austin Hooper

There are three tight ends who you should probably draft early: Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle. All three are very good players who have huge roles in their team's offenses, and with the positional scarcity of the tight end position, grabbing those guys early makes a lot of sense. But the position really […]

Julio Jones Won't Be Cleared Until Early August

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) will not be cleared to practice until at least early August, head coach Dan Quinn said earlier this week. The good news is that Jones is at training camp and did not hold out. The bad news is that he is banged up and might exhibit a little […]

Duke Riley Banged Up, Michael Bennett To IR

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Duke Riley (groin, hip) is dealing with a groin and hip flexor injury, according to head coach Dan Quinn, which is why the linebacker has been on the sidelines for practices over the past couple of days. When healthy, Riley is a tremendous fantasy option in leagues using individual defensive players (IDPs). […]

Calvin Ridley Misses Practice Time Again Saturday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) remained sidelined from practice on Saturday due to soreness in his hamstring. He excited practice early on Thursday after tweaking his hamstring, although head coach Dan Quinn did not seem overly concerned about the ailment. It's unlikely we'll see him in the Hall of Fame preseason game against […]

Calvin Ridley Hamstring Shouldn't Be A Concern

While Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley exited training camp early on Thursday with tightness in his hamstring, the second-year receiver is expected to be good to return to the practice field soon. Ridley leaving was just a precaution according to head coach Dan Quinn, and shouldn't lead to any lingering issues. Ridley is a […]

Two second-year players. Two receivers with a lot of hype this offseason. So, which one should you want in your draft?

Julio Jones Reports To Training Camp

Rumors that Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones might hold out have turned out to not be true, as Jones has reported to training camp. Jones and the team will continue to talk about a long-term extension for the wideout, but it doesn't look like there's any danger of Jones missing time or getting behind […]
