Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts recorded his first multi-catch performance since Week 10 on Monday night, catching all four of his targets for a modest 28 yards in the 15-9 win over the Raiders.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught all three of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 15-9 win over the Raiders.

Josh Downs Has Quiet Day In Return From Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) returned from injury on Sunday, but was only able to corral three of his eight targets for 32 scoreless yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos.

Michael Pittman Jr. Leads Colts Receivers In Week 15 Loss

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos. Unfortunately, with Anthony Richardson under center that hasn't amounted to much this season, as the 27-year-old caught six of his nine targets for 58 yards and no scores. Pittman also lost one of […]

Jonathan Taylor's Blunder Prevents A Strong Fantasy Day In Loss

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor handled a heavy workload in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos, rushing 22 times for 107 yards and adding one reception for four yards.

Braves Sign Outfielder Bryan De La Cruz To One-Year Deal

The Atlanta Braves have signed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract on Sunday.

Younghoe Koo A Top-12 Option Again In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo knocked through a pair of short field goals and a couple of extra points last week, restoring some faith in the kicker's abilities.

Ray-Ray McCloud III Under Flex Consideration In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III has had a consistent -- albeit small -- role in the offense all season long, but has seen it grow over the last three weeks, averaging nearly eight targets and six catches per game along with back-to-back performances of 95-plus yards. The 28-year-old is not a red zone […]

Kyle Pitts A Fantasy Gamble Even In Favorable Monday Matchup

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts continued his stretch fantasy futility last week, catching just a single ball from Kirk Cousins, which was the fourth time in the last five contests that the 24-year-old has caught one pass or fewer. The former first-round draft pick has fallen to a distant fifth option in the passing […]

Drake London To Get Another Healthy Dose Of Targets In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has seen a drop in fantasy production as Kirk Cousins has failed to throw even a single touchdown pass in each of the last four games, however, the 23-year-old has remained heavily involved in the passing attack, garnering double-digit targets in three of the last four games. The former […]

Bijan Robinson A High-End RB1 For Monday Night Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has gone over 100 total yards rushing and receiving in seven of the last eight games and nine of 13 overall.

Kirk Cousins Draws Favorable Matchup, But A Risky QB2 In Fantasy Playoffs

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 9, a stretch of four consecutive games without one, while throwing eight interceptions during that time.

Adonai Mitchell Not Lineup-Worthy In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell didn't catch either of his targets back in Week 13, a disappointing outcome considering the Colts were without one of their top pass catchers in Josh Downs.

Matt Gay A Stable Play With Limited Upside In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay made just one field goal back before the team's bye week in Week 13, but it was the first time since Week 3 that the 30-year-old was held to just a single field goal. The veteran had been busy since Week 4, knocking 21 footballs through the uprights, which is […]

Alec Pierce Looking Like A Boom/Bust Fantasy Play Again In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce drew the second-most looks of any Colt receiver in Week 13 with six targets, but was only able to secure two of them for 16 yards.

Michael Pittman Jr. A Risky Fantasy Play In Tough Week 15 Matchup

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has at least seven targets and five catches in the last three games since Anthony Richardson was reinserted under center for Indy.

Jonathan Taylor Falls To The Ranks Of RB2 In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor received 25 carries in Week 13, even with Anthony Richardson logging nine rush attempts of his own, nearly topping the century mark in rush yards with 96.

Anthony Richardson A Mid-Range QB2 With Some Upside In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had a great fantasy day in Week 13, throwing two touchdown passes, rushing for a touchdown, and scoring a two-point conversion.
