Calvin Ridley Explodes For 143 Yards And A Score
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a monster day in Week 11 against the Panthers, catching all eight of his targets for 143 yards and a touchdown. It was only Ridley's second 100-yard game of the season. The first one came all the way back in Week 2. Clearly, Matt Ryan saw something he […]

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill certainly had plenty of opportunities to produce in Week 11, but he failed to do much of anything with them. He carried the ball 15 times for just 30 yards and caught only one of his three targets for eight yards. The team's No. 2 running back in the […]

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a solid game in a Week 11 victory over the Panthers. He completed 21-of-31 pass attempts for 311 yards and a touchdown. The Falcons had three field goals, a kick return touchdown and a rushing touchdown on the day, which prevented Ryan from scoring more himself, but his day […]

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Indiana Pacers point guard T.J.

Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoFalcons Defense Not A Solid Option In Week 11
The Falcons Defense surprisingly came off their bye week and thwarted the Saints in Week 10, sacking Drew Brees six times and holding the Saints to just nine points. However, it was a rare gem in a season that's seen the team get lit up time and time again. In Week 11, the Falcons face […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoJaeden Graham Worth Watching But Too Risky To Start
Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham has an opportunity to carve out a short-term role in the offense this week with Austin Hooper (knee) sidelined. The team may also be without Luke Stocker (knee), who is dealing with a knee injury. Graham has just two targets on the year and has caught both of them […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoQadree Ollison Worthy Of Speculative Add But Not Start-Worthy
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Qadree Ollison should have an opportunity to receive his first NFL carry this week. The team will likely be without No. 1 running back Devonta Freeman (foot) for the game, making Brian Hill the next-man-up and Ollison his potential No. 2. Ollison is the biggest back amongst the Falcons' core […]

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had a flawless debut for the team in Week 10, converting all four of his field goal attempts, including a 48-yarder, and both of his extra-point attempts. The Falcons face the Panthers in a Week 11 game that should be high-scoring. Even though the Falcons will be without a few […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoDevonta Freeman Projected To Miss Two Weeks
Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) has been held out of practice this week and figures to be sidelined for Week 11 and potentially Week 12 as well. He is dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in Week 10 against the Saints. He is currently listed as doubtful for Week 11 against […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoCalvin Ridley A Solid WR2 In Week 11
It's been a roller-coaster type of year for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley. He was rolling early in the season, but has gone without a touchdown in three straight games, and has failed to top 30 receiving yards in two of those three games. This week, Ridley and the Falcons face the Panthers. The […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoRussell Gage Is A Sneaky PPR Option In Week 11
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has earned 14 targets over his last two games. While he hasn't done too much with them from a yardage standpoint, gaining only 81 total yards the past two games, his 11 catches over the past two games certainly inspire hope in PPR formats. To add to the attraction […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoKeep Riding Julio Jones In Week 11
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has had a bit of a disappointing year for fantasy owners, especially given his draft-day cost. However, he is still a weekly must-start until further notice. Jones only caught three of his nine targets in Week 10, but luckily one of them went for 54 yards and he finished […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoStart Brian Hill As An RB2 In Week 11
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill has a golden opportunity this week with Devonta Freeman (foot) likely out and Ito Smith (neck) on Injured Reserve. Hill appears to be the team's No. 1 running back for now. Last week, Hill saw his first extended action of the year when Freeman first suffered his foot injury. […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoMatt Ryan A Low-End QB1 If He Starts In Week 11
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) was held out of practice on Wednesday and is currently questionable for Week 11 against the Panthers. If he's able to go, he's worthy of starting as a low-end QB1. The Falcons have had no success in the run game this year and their defense allows a ton of […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoKeep Riding The Bills Defense In Week 11
The Bills Defense is in an excellent position going into Week 11 with an extremely favorable matchup against the Dolphins. The Dolphins average just 13.2 points per game and under 260 yards from scrimmage per game. Somehow, the Dolphins are one of just two teams who have scored over 20 points against the Bills this […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoRobert Foster Should Remain On Waivers
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Robert Foster came down with his first catch of the season in Week 10 against the Browns. He has just six targets on the year and has become a complete afterthought in the Bills offense after a promising rookie year. Foster would need an injury to John Brown or Cole Beasley, […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoDuke Williams Not Roster-Worthy For Week 11
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Duke Williams was a surprise inactive for Week 10 against the Browns. Even if he suits up for Week 11 against the Dolphins, he likely won't be heavily utilized in the game. Williams has just six catches on seven targets over the season. Robert Foster filled in for Williams as the […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoDawson Knox Could Be A Low-End TE1 Option In Week 11
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox had a promising performance in Week 10 against the Browns, catching four of six targets for 55 yards. It was his best game since Week 4 after being held under 25 receiving yards in five straight games. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Tyler Kroft went without a target in the […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoCole Beasley Is A Decent WR3/Flex Play In PPR
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley has had strong fantasy outputs in four straight games, but he's gotten a bit lucky over that span. He scored touchdowns in three straight games from Week 7 to Week 9, but had under 20 receiving yards in two of those games. Last week, he had 74 receiving yards, […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoStart John Brown As A WR2 In Week 11
Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown has a favorable matchup against the Dolphins this week and is a strong WR2 play. In his last game against the Dolphins, he caught five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. Brown has been extremely consistent all year, with at least four receptions and over 50 receiving yards […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoT.J. Yeldon Figures To Be Inactive For Week 11
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for four straight games, and this week against the Dolphins figures to be the same story. He has no business on fantasy rosters at this point. Devin Singletary is the team's primary rusher, with Frank Gore as the firm No. 2 back.
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoAvoid Frank Gore In Week 11
Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has been dreadful over the past two weeks, carrying the ball 16 times for just 27 yards. In that same stretch, his teammate Devin Singletary has carried the ball 28 times for 137 yards. Gore has two things working heavily against him. First off, his workload isn't there anymore […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoStart Devin Singletary As An RB2 In Week 11
Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary was a bit of a disappointment in Week 10 against the Browns. He gained just 50 total yards on 11 touches in the game after totalling 140 yards on 23 touches in Week 9. Expect this week's outing to be more like Week 9 than Week 10. The Bills […]
Andrew Ericksen 5 years agoJosh Allen Should Perform Well In Week 11
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 11. He is a high-end QB2 and is a viable option as a low-end QB1, especially in leagues of 12 teams or more. In his first game against the Dolphins about a month ago, Allen was turnover-free and threw for 202 […]
