6 years agoAtlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) is set to test his sore right hamstring on Thursday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. “I think it treated him well, the reason that I say that is that he’s making a turn for the better,” Quinn said of Bryant getting some rest over the bye week. “We are not going to rule him out this week.” With Bryant out in Week 7, Giorgio Tavecchio was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after making field goals of 40, 50 and 56 yards on Oct. 22. In a game against Washington this week, either Tavecchio or Bryant will be weak fantasy plays, as the Redskins allow the fewest fantasy points to kickers (4.6) per week.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
