Russell Gage Tallies Season-High Seven Receptions
3 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage produced a solid effort in Sunday's win over the Saints. Gage tallied a season-high seven receptions on eight targets, placing second on the team with 64 yards. The 25-year-old was a safety blanket over the middle of the field for quarterback Matt Ryan, as evidenced by his 9.1 yards per reception. Gage wasn't targeted against the Panthers but has eclipsed 60 yards in two of his last three games, scoring a touchdown in one of them. He could enter the WR3 conversation as a high-floor option if Ryan continues to trust him on the short-yardage throws. A favorable Week 10 matchup against Dallas awaits.
