Russell Gage Could See More Opportunities In Week 5
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage could be in line for more opportunities against the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. Gage actually ranks second on the team in targets, though part of this is due to Julio Jones (hamstring) missing one game and part of another. Jones could be out again in Week 5 and Calvin Ridley (thigh, knee) could be limited, which would open the door for Gage to have a larger role. Carolina has been unexpectedly tough against fantasy wideouts this year, though their DVOA ranking of 26th against the pass suggests they are certainly beatable. Gage can be trusted as a WR3 this week, though his prospects would certainly be better if Jones didn't suit up.
