Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoAvoid The Falcons Defense In Week 15
The Falcons Defense faces an extremely tough task in Week 15. They're up against a 49ers team that has put up 36-or-more points in three of the past four weeks.

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoKeep Rolling With Younghoe Koo In Week 15

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoRussell Gage Is A Solid PPR Start In Week 15
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage should see his role increase going forward with Calvin Ridley (abdominal) out for the year. Gage has earned at least four targets in each of his past six games, with nine-plus targets in three games over that stretch.

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoBrian Hill Is Only Start-Worthy If Freeman Sits

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMatt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Option In Week 15
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is coming off a solid game against the Panthers in which he threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.

Freeman had 21 touches in Week 14 against the Panthers and gained 94 yards and scored a touchdown in the game. As long as he suits up, he should be set for […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoBills Defense Should Flourish Against Steelers In Week 15
The Bills Defense finds itself in a great spot going into Week 15. They face a Steelers offense that has been riddled with injuries surrounding rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges.

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoDawson Knox Not Worth Consideration In Week 15
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has carved out a role in the Bills passing game this year, but it hasn't been a very big one. He's seen around three or four targets per game most of the year. This week, the Bills face a tough Steelers Defense that should make things difficult on quarterback […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoCole Beasley Is A Worthy WR3/Flex Play In PPR

He's become more active in the offense as defenses have begun to focus more attention on the team's No. 1 receiver John Brown. Beasley is the safety net option for quarterback Josh […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoJohn Brown Could Be Risky In Week 15
