3 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons signed former Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions wide receiver
Geronimo Allison to an undisclosed deal on Monday. Allison was recently in camp on a tryout basis with Atlanta. He didn't play at all in 2020 due to concerns about COVID-19, and Allison had zero catches on only two targets in three games played for the Lions last season. In Atlanta, the 28-year-old will compete for a role on offense with the likes of
Olamide Zaccheaus,
KhaDarel Hodge,
Damiere Byrd and
Auden Tate behind starters
Bryan Edwards and rookie
Drake London. There is opportunity with the Falcons given their unsettled receiver depth chart, but fantasy managers can find better gambles at the position in deep leagues.

3 years agoFree-agent wide receiver
Geronimo Allison has a visit scheduled with the Ravens on Saturday. The 28-year-old is best known for his days as a Green Bay Packer, where he played his first four years, totaling 1,045 yards and six touchdowns off 89 catches. He opted out of the 2020 campaign due to COVID-19 concerns, and he played sporadically last season with the Lions, although it was mainly as a member of the practice squad. Nonetheless, if Allison gets signed by Baltimore, there probably won't be a lot of excited fantasy managers. However, after the Ravens sent
Marquise Brown to Arizona, there isn't much competition for playing time outside
Rashod Bateman and
Mark Andrews. As a result, Allison could be featured as a waiver wire option at some point during the year, but he'll need to get a deal first before that happens.

3 years agoThe Detroit Lions signed wide receiver
Geronimo Allison to the active roster. Allison was added to the Lions' practice squad in September and promoted to the 53-man roster on Wednesday. With the Green Bay Packers, the 27-year-old caught 89 of his 146 targets for 1,045 yards and six touchdowns in 46 games (14 starts) in four seasons. The Lions are banged up at wide receiver as
Tyrell Williams (concussion), and
Quintez Cephus (collarbone) are currently sidelined. Allison was added to Lion's roster for depth purposes but is not on the fantasy radar in 2021.
