Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents.

Atlanta Falcons Defense Delivers Poor Return

Atlanta Falcons defense and special teams were extremely disappointing once again this week against the Dallas Cowboys. The Falcons defense were not able to force any turnovers and only managed to get two sacks. While they were not blown up they did surrender 22 points to the Cowboys and will therefore be unlikely to receive […]

Matt Bryant Has Big Return

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a big day against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday as he returned from a groin injury. Bryant took advantage of the Falcons failure to find the end zone in kicking all four of his field goal opportunities, including one from an impressive 53 yards. Bryant also added an extra […]

Austin Hooper Has Extremely Disappointing Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had his most disappointing day of the season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Hooper has had other days where he has not put up many yards but his four catches for 27 yards was disappointing for a different reason. Hooper was targeted eight times and was only able […]

Julio Jones Has Big Day Again Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had a nice day against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Jones needed a big reception in the fourth quarter for a 34-yard touchdown to make this day a success for his fantasy owners. Jones caught 6-of-9 targets for 118 yards and the single touchdown. At this point in the […]

Ito Smith Disappoints Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had a disappointing day Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Smith carried the ball six times for 10 yards and added two receptions for 12 yards. The positive is that Smith did see carries around the red zone however he was unable to make them count. There is not really […]

Tevin Coleman Effective But Under Whelming Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a frustrating day for his fantasy owners on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Coleman averaged over seven yards per carry with a longest run of 17 yards. However, he carried the ball just eight times, and was therefore only able to put up 58 yards rushing. He managed […]

Matt Ryan Has Unspectacular Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan salvaged his day with a late touchdown as he struggled to register 15 fantasy points against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday. It needed a late drive from Ryan, culminating in a touchdown to Julio Jones, for him to make his points total look even remotely satisfactory. Ryan completed 24-of-34 passes for […]

Mohamed Sanu Could Bust Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will face a stout Dallas defense on Sunday, which could limit his performance.

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.

On average opposing defenses have had 3.6 sacks, 0.6 interceptions and 0.6 fumble recoveries this season when facing the […]

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.
