5 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage was surprisingly effective in the team's first game without Mohamed Sanu in Week 8. Prior to Week 8, Gage hadn't logged more than 16 snaps in a game all year and had only eight targets over seven games. However, against the Seahawks in Week 8, Gage was the team's clear No. 3 receiver, logging 47 snaps and catching seven of his nine targets for 58 yards. The Falcons have a tough matchup against the Saints in New Orleans this week, but fantasy owners in deep PPR leagues needing a bye week replacement receiver could consider Gage as a potential WR3 or flex. Matt Ryan (ankle) should return this week, making the Falcons passing game more potent and making Gage more attractive as an option as well.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
