Matchups We Love

None

 

Matchups We Hate

Rachaad White (RB, TB)

It's rare we get an opportunity to be excited about White these days because the opponent's run defense is consistently good. Atlanta is no exception, ranking ninth in DVOA, 11th in rushing yards per attempt allowed, and No. 1 rush EPA per play on defense. It's tough times this week so White may have to be in your lineup, but try to look elsewhere if you can.

 

Other Matchups

Drake London (WR, ATL)

Desmond Ridder has thrown the ball at least 31 times in each of their last five games. Last week, it was the game script, which Ridder created by committing three turnovers that put them in a hole. Their defense is pretty solid overall, but so long as teams can keep scoring, they'll need to maintain the heavy passing volume. It translated to another huge day for London, hauling in nine passes for 125 yards. With Ridder totaling over 300 yards and 30 attempts per game, London is in the top 24.

Kyle Pitts (TE, ATL)

Pitts trailed only London in targets while finding the end zone for the first time this year. Not to be outdone, Jonnu Smith also scored and remains a part of this timeshare. Lavonte David did a nice job of limiting LaPorta last week, so it's a tougher matchup, but that may affect Smith more than Pitts given where they line up.

Bijan Robinson (RB, ATL)

The passing volume has also boosted Robinson's numbers. He ran 45 routes, earning eight targets, which is part of why Tyler Allgeier is seeing more work on the ground. Robinson dominated the snaps (64-23), and finished with 18 total touches, so it's hard to be too upset. He's still in the top 12, but the matchup is harder this week against the Buccaneers. Allgeier is also in consideration as a flex option, knowing you'll get at least 10 touches.

Buccaneers WRs

Mike Evans was a tipped ball away from what would've been a massive play to open the game. Sadly, it was picked off and returned for a touchdown, which accurately captures the day for Tampa Bay. The inability to connect was an issue as Evans only caught 40% of his targets, although they obviously were not all his fault. It did lend itself to a decent day for Chris Godwin, who now has back-to-back top-30 finishes. He gets a plus-matchup this week as the Falcons have better cornerbacks, keeping him in the top 36 with Evans ahead of him in the top 30 taking on A.J. Terrell.
