Are Jalen Hurts, Kenneth Walker III, Drake London Hurt? Fantasy Football Injury Updates (Week 17)

A trio of essential and fantasy-relevant players got injured in Week 16. The timing of these injuries is unfortunate, as fantasy managers who have made it this far were expecting high-end production from these three. However, that is the life of fantasy football, and all we can do is make the most informed decisions possible […]

Kyle Pitts With A Single Catch In Week 16 Blowout Win

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-7 blowout win over the Giants.

The 16th Sunday of the 2024 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went.

Fantasy Football Sunday Injury Report: Updates for Jalen Hurts, Kenneth Walker III, James Conner, Malik Nabers, Tee Higgins, Drake London, more

All told the Week 16 injury report was fairly light. This was good to see as you never want a playoff matchup to be decided because of injuries. We did have several players leave games early, but luckily for fantasy owners, most posted respectable games before leaving. Unfortunately, one star quarterback was injured and let […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III Held To 19 Yards In Week 16 Blowout Win

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III was limited to just 19 yards in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants, hauling in three of the four targets he saw from rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. It wasn't a great day for fantasy for the Falcon wideouts in the young QBs first start as Atlanta leaned […]

Tyler Allgeier Ineffective On Double-Digit Opportunities In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier logged 11 carries in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants as the offense leaned heavily on the run game in Michael Penix Jr.'s first start, however, the 24-year-old managed to gain just 22 scoreless yards (2.0 YPR) on those opportunities. Meanwhile, backfield mate Bijan Robinson was able to gain […]

Darnell Mooney Leads Falcons Receivers In Week 16 Win

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was the team's leading receiver on Sunday with five receptions for 82 yards but was unable to find the end zone as Bijan Robinson punched in both of Atlanta's offensive touchdowns in the lopsided 34-7 win. Drake London also caught five passes but totaled just 59 yards on his […]

Michael Penix Jr. With An Empty Fantasy Day In First Career Win

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. led the Falcons to victory on Sunday in a 34-7 thrashing of the New York Giants, however, it was the run game and defense that was truly responsible for the win. Penix Jr. was 18-for-27 (67%) for 202 yards, but did not throw a touchdown and he tossed one […]

Drake London Likely Avoids Serious Injury On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hamstring) had five catches for 59 yards in Sunday's decisive win over the Giants. Michael Penix Jr. got the start in this one, so there were concerns about his chemistry with London and the other Falcons' receivers. However, London still had a decent showing. He did suffer a hamstring […]

Drake London Questionable To Return

According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game. The top wideout left in the fourth quarter. Before exiting, London caught five of his eight targets for 58 yards. His yardage total was the second-most on the team, behind Darnell Mooney. Fantasy managers […]

Falcons D/ST A Fine Option For Week 16

The Atlanta Falcons defense has struggled throughout most of the season but has finally offered some decent fantasy value over the last few weeks. This defensive unit has held opponents to 11 points or less in two of their last three games. Last week, the Falcons defense recorded four sacks and snagged two interceptions in […]

Tyler Allgeier Could Get More Work In Rookie QBs First Start

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has been the recipient of double-digit carries just four times all season and has yet to record those outings in back-to-back weeks. In Week 15, the 24-year-old carried the ball 12 times, so is he due for a return to single digits? With rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. under […]

Kyle Pitts A Low-Floor, Limited-Upside Option In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts reemerged from obscurity in Week 15 to haul in four passes, albeit for a measly 28 yards.

The former first-round draft […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III A Risky WR5 Option In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III caught just one of his three targets for 14 yards last week, but it wasn't just McCloud who had a dud. The receiving corps in general underperformed as a result of ineffective passing from Kirk Cousins and from a ground game that was clicking, with the backs totaling […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 16? Darnell Mooney, Amari Cooper, Deebo Samuel
