Julio Jones Could Be In For Tough Day Despite Good Matchup

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones could actually be in for a tough day Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite the good matchup this Steelers defense provides. Jones will likely draw the coverage of corner Joe Haden the majority of the time on Sunday. So far this season Haden has allowed just a reception percentage […]

Ito Smith's Role Unknown Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith has an unknown role at this stage for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since Devonta Freeman has been out Smith has been averaging 8.33 touches per game. However, when Freeman was active in Week 1 Smith did not see a single touch. It is unlikely that Smith will […]

Tevin Coleman Could See Drop In Touches Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman could see a reduction in touches against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. With Devonta Freeman back in action the Falcons could split their touches three ways with Ito Smith also seeing touches. That would mean a decrease in touches for Coleman, who averages less than 10 rushes per game […]

Devonta Freeman Could Struggle In Week 5 Return

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman could be in line for a tough day upon his return to the Falcons lineup in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers defense ranks fifth best against running backs in terms of fantasy points surrendered per game. In addition, it is likely that Freeman will be on […]

Matt Ryan In Line For Another Big Day

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could be in line for another big day against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Steelers currently rank second in fantasy points surrendered against opposing quarterbacks, giving up close to 29 points per game against them. However, Ryan has an average quarterback rating eight points lower when playing outdoors than […]

Matt Bryant Perfect Against Bengals

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant was a perfect 6-for-6 in the kicking game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Bryant converted all three of his extra point attempts and added three field goals as well. Bryant's longest field goal was a 55-yarder on the stroke of halftime, demonstrating that he still has tremendous leg strength. […]

Logan Paulsen Catches Touchdown Against Bengals

Atlanta Falcons tight end Logan Paulsen caught his first touchdown of the 2018 season on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Paulsen has now registered a reception in each of the last three games. However, they have been his only three targets and his role in the offense is extremely small. Therefore, Paulsen is not someone […]

Austin Hooper Has Disappointing Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a disappointing outing on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hooper caught just one of his two targets for 19 yards. The reception was very impressive as Hooper fought for an unlikely first-down. However, the fact he only saw two targets and neither were in the red zone is […]

Calvin Ridley Adds Another Two Touchdowns Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley added another two receiving touchdowns to his season total against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. Ridley now has six receiving touchdowns on the season and seems to be one of Ryan's main weapons around the red zone. Ridley only managed to catch 4-of-6 targets for 54 yards with a longest […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Triple-Digit Receiving Yards Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu finally managed to put up a big day in the receiving game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite catching a touchdown against the Saints, Sanu had just 36 receiving yards. However, on Sunday he had six receptions on nine targets for 111 yards. Sanu failed to find the […]

Julio Jones Puts Up Monster Numbers Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones put up monster yardage numbers for the second time this season. Facing the Cincinnati Bengals Jones caught 9-of-12 targets for 173 yards. However, Jones remained unable to find the end zone for the fourth straight game to start the season. Jones saw 12 of Ryan's 38 targets in this […]

Ito Smith Finds The End Zone Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith found the end zone for the first time in his career against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. In total, Smith rushed seven times for 35 yards and his touchdown, adding another 13 yards on three receptions. Short-term Smith is unlikely to be able to build on this as Devonta […]

Tevin Coleman Struggles To Make Impact Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman once again failed to make the impression he would have hoped for in the Falcons loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Coleman rushed the ball 14 times for 51 yards with a longest rush of just nine yards. He did manage to add three receptions for 26 yards […]

Matt Ryan Has Another Big Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had another big week Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ryan went 29-of-39 for 419 yards with three touchdowns as the Falcons slipped to 1-3 on the season. This is now three weeks running that Ryan has put up impressive fantasy performances as the Falcons offense appears to be rolling at […]

Week 4 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Three weeks may still seem too early to be assessing consistency but if you look at the tables below you can see that already the best fantasy options are beginning to rise to the top. We can already see just how inconsistent tight ends and to some extent running backs are compared to wide receivers […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 4): NFL DFS Lineups

Now is the time to start really cashing in on DFS games. Three weeks is enough of a sample size for us to have a feel about offenses and defenses alike. We know which teams can be attacked which way and which players are likely to be doing the attacking. There are a number of […]

Matt Bryant's Fantasy Value May Be Fading

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant may be seeing his fantasy value slip away this season. Bryant came into the year as an interesting fantasy kicker but a couple of things have changed that early in the 2018 season. The Falcons defense has been decimated meaning that they are struggling to stop opposing offenses. Therefore, the […]

Austin Hooper Should Remain Part Of The Passing Game Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper should continue to be part of the Falcons passing game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Hooper has seen at least four targets in all three games this season, and he has managed to catch 11 of his 13 targets. Hooper saw three of his targets in the red […]

Calvin Ridley Unlikely To Repeat His Week 3 Performance

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley may never have a better day in his career than he had last week against the Saints. Following his breakout performance in Week 3, Ridley is likely to demand extra attention in the passing game. Ridley has now seen a combined 13 targets the last two weeks and has […]

Mohamed Sanu Looking To Build On Successful Week 3 Outing

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu will be hoping to build on his performance against the Saints in Week 3. Sanu had a season-high 36 yards receiving and both a touchdown reception and a two-point conversion. Sanu needs to do better than his 57.1% catch rate from Week 3 if he is to have a […]

Julio Jones Looking To Get In The End Zone Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (calf) will be hoping to break his 2018 touchdown duck on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jones did not participate in practice Wednesday, was upgraded to limited Thursday and was a full participant Friday. Jones has seen 15 targets combined in the last two games after seeing 19 in […]

Brian Hill Could See Touches Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill could see time in the Falcons backfield against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Hill has yet to register a carry in his two games with the Falcons but that could change Sunday. Interestingly, Hill did log some touches with the Bengals in 2017, averaging 3.4 yards per attempt rushing […]

Ito Smith Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back is questionable to suit up on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals due to sore ribs. As recently as Thursday, Smith was wearing a no-contact jersey which is a bad sign for his availability on Sunday. With Devonta Freeman ruled out Smith was set to spend his third straight week as the […]

Tevin Coleman The Lead Back Again Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman will once again be the lead back against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. With Devonta Freeman (knee) ruled out Coleman becomes one of the safer bets in the league to receive at least 15 touches. Coleman had success in the lead back role against the Panthers but struggled last […]

Devonta Freeman Will Not Play This Week

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) will not suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Freeman returned to practice this week but he is not ready to return to games quite yet. The Falcons plan to test Freeman out further next week with a view to him returning in Week 5. The Falcons […]

Matt Ryan Could Find Himself In Another Shootout

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan could find himself in a shootout once again against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons defense is so beaten up that the offense is going to have to score a lot of points if they want to win games. With all of the weapons Ryan has in the […]

Mohamed Sanu Grabs A Touchdown Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu caught his first touchdown of the 2018 season on Sunday. Sanu also added a two-point conversion on the following play which will have added a little extra value to his fantasy points. However, Sanu's day was not all good news as he only caught four of his seven targets […]

Matt Bryant Has Quiet Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had an extremely quiet day against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Despite the Falcons scoring 37 points, Bryant only had three extra points to show for his days work. Bryant did make a field goal attempt, but a personal foul on the Saints allowed the Falcons to continue the […]

Austin Hooper Struggles To Build Momentum Sunday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper failed to build on the momentum he had built in the second week of the NFL season. Hooper did not let himself down catching three of his four targets for 23 yards. However, after coming into the game leading the Falcons in red-zone targets through two weeks, Hooper failed […]

Calvin Ridley Has Monster Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a superb three-touchdown performance against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. One of Ridley's touchdowns was a 75-yard reception where he showed off the speed that many questioned he had. In total Ridley had seven receptions on eight targets for 146 yards. After being blanked in Week […]
