Mohamed Sanu Could Bust Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu will have a difficult time trying to get back in the end zone this week, as he draws a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Sanu has been plagued with a hip injury for over a month now, and it seems it’s still bothering him as he was limited […]

Calvin Ridley Faces A Tough Test Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will face a stout Dallas defense on Sunday, which could limit his performance. The rookie draws a matchup against a Cowboys team that ranks third in fantasy points allowed to receivers this season. Ridley has enough natural talent to break open a big play anytime he takes the field, […]

Week 11 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! It's hard to believe it is Week 11 already. Week 11 brings us a few tasty matchups from a fantasy standpoint, including what should be an entertaining Saints-Eagles game with a high 54.5-point over/under. The main slate also boasts several other games with over/unders of 50 points or more. That would include […]

Matt Bryant Practices In Full

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) put in a full practice on Thursday. Barring any setbacks, it looks like Bryant will be back in action for the first time since he aggravated his hamstring on Oct. 14 this Sunday against the Cowboys. The ageless wonder has made all nine of his field-goal tries this year […]

Falcons Defense A Middling Week 11 Option

The Atlanta Falcons defense is likely to be, at best, a middling fantasy option in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have allowed an average of 7.33 fantasy points to opposing defenses this season. On average opposing defenses have had 3.6 sacks, 0.6 interceptions and 0.6 fumble recoveries this season when facing the […]

Austin Hooper Could Have Success Once Again In Week 11

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper could have another successful week against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Hooper is coming off an 11 target, 10 catch performance in which he had 56 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. This week Hooper matches up against a defense which allows an average of 5.9 receptions, 56.8 […]

Julio Jones Should Be Able To Overcome Tough Matchup

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones should have enough talent to succeed despite a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Jones has had over 100 receiving yards in six of his nine games this year and perhaps more importantly has found the end zone in each of the last two weeks. This week […]

Ito Smith A Serious Question Mark Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is providing fantasy owners with something of a headache Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Smith has alternated weeks of fantasy relevance with fantasy irrelevance over the last few weeks. Smith managed just 11 yards rushing on four carries and 15 yards receiving on four receptions last week. Much of […]

Tevin Coleman Could Face A Rough Game Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman faces a tough task against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Coleman's performances have been up and down this season, and almost impossible to predict week-to-week. The biggest issue for Coleman is that the Falcons will not commit to giving him a starters workload. Only once has Coleman had more […]

Matt Ryan Should Perform Well In Return Home

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will be pleased to be returning home to play in the Mercedes-Benz stadium. Ryan has completed 76.9% of passes at home with an average of 359.6 passing yards and 2.8 touchdowns per game. In addition, Ryan has averaged 9.88 yards per attempt and thrown just one interception in his five […]

Matt Bryant To Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) will kick in practice on Thursday. Bryant hasn't been active in a game since Oct. 14, but he's made all nine of his field goals and 16 of 17 extra points this year. When healthy, the 43-year-old is one of the better fantasy options. If he can't go again […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

[…]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

Deion Jones Comes Off IR

The Atlanta Falcons activated linebacker Deion Jones (foot) off of the Injured Reserve on Monday and waived offensive tackle Rees Odhiambo in a corresponding move. Jones fractured his foot in the season opener but will return to face the Cowboys in Week 11. As one of the best linebackers in the NFL, you should add […]

Atlanta Falcons Defense Struggles Sunday

The Atlanta Falcons defense had a tough day against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. In terms of points surrendered it was not a horrific day for the defense. However, they failed to really stress Baker Mayfield, who at one stage was 12-for-12 on the day with the game in the third quarter. The Falcons defense […]

Giorgio Tavecchio Has Quiet Day In Cleveland

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio had a relatively disappointing game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Tavecchio can be satisfied in his performance, as he once again did exactly what was asked of him, converting an extra point and a relatively short field goal. However, for his fantasy owners Tavecchio will have returned a poor […]

Austin Hooper Has A Good Performance In Cleveland

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had an impressive performance against the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. Hooper was targeted a team high 11 times in this game and he pulled in 10 of them for 56 yards and a touchdown. Hooper has been extremely reliable this season, catching 46 of his 55 targets, providing […]

Julio Jones Has Another Big Day In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones continued his good season against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. After finding the end zone last week to break his season duck, Jones managed it once again against the Browns. Jones also added seven receptions for 107 yards on 11 targets, ensuring he would not disappoint his fantasy owners. […]

Ito Smith Has Ugly Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had a day to forget against the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. After averaging six yards per carry last week against the Redskins, Smith went right back to averaging less than three yards per carry this week. The flow of the game meant that Smith did not see many […]

Tevin Coleman Struggles Once Again Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman failed to build on his Week 9 performance when facing the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. On Sunday, Coleman had 44 rushing yards on 11 carries, adding three receptions for 18 yards on five targets. Coleman's average was not bad but the way this game went for the Falcons […]

Matt Ryan Has Decent Fantasy Output

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan managed to have a decent fantasy day despite the Falcons struggling on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Falcons managed to put up just 16 points and were chasing the game for much of the day. However, Ryan went 38-of-52 for 330 yards and two touchdowns to at least salvage […]

Mohamed Sanu Depending On A Touchdown Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu looks like he is finally healthy after recently playing through a hip injury. Sanu draws a matchup against a vulnerable Browns defense this Sunday, ranked towards the bottom of the league against the pass. Sanu is moving more towards a boom-or-bust type play recently with the way the Falcons […]
