Russell Gage Disappoints In Week 5 Loss
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage was third on the team in targets in Week 5 with five, but turned them into just two catches for 16 receiving yards. As quarterback Matt Ryan has gone, so has Gage. In his last three games with Ryan struggling, Gage has just 64 receiving yards combined and has failed to capitalize on the potential opportunity with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined. It's possible that Gage will be better with Jones to command defensive attention ahead of him. At any rate, it's almost impossible to trust him right now- unless you're backed into a corner- even with a Week 6 matchup against the Vikings, who struggle to defend the pass.
