Defense and special teams unit (D/ST) is often overlooked in traditional fantasy football leagues.

The Athletic's Josh Kendall suggests that fantasy managers shouldn't be taking Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts high in their drafts, unless you want to live dangerously. Pitts caught 28 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns last year and had his season cut short due to an MCL tear. Head coach Arthur Smith has […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Misses Monday's Practice
Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (undisclosed) did not take part in practice on Monday and could be questionable to play in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers.
