Falcons Defense A Desperate Streaming Option In Week 1

The Atlanta Falcons defense was one of the worst units in 2021. They had the fewest sacks in the NFL with 18 and were 20th in interceptions with 12. However, Atlanta made some improvements to their defense in the offseason. They added several veterans, including cornerback Casey Hayward and linebacker Rashaan Evans. The Falcons also […]

Younghoe Koo – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was a top fantasy kicker in 2020. He made all but two of his 39 field goal attempts that year. Unfortunately, the Atlanta offense struggled in 2021, and his numbers regressed. Koo made 93.1% of his field goal attempts last season but had only 29 tries in 17 games. However, he was […]

Kyle Pitts Could Have A Disappointing Opening Week 1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is coming off a historic rookie season. He had 1,026 receiving yards last year, the second-most by a rookie tight end. However, the former fourth overall pick had only one touchdown in 2021. Despite the lack of touchdown production, Pitts was one of the top tight ends last season. Unfortunately, he […]

Olamide Zaccheaus – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has never been a fantasy-relevant player. He has never had more than 31 receptions any year of his career. Furthermore, the undrafted free agent from Virginia has five career touchdowns. The 25-year-old caught 31 of 53 targets for 406 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games in 2021. He signed a […]

Drake London A Risky Start In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London (knee) had a less-than-ideal preseason. He suffered a knee injury in the first preseason game and never saw the field again. The former USC Trojan is questionable for the matchup against the divisional rival New Orleans Saints. After being a limited participant in practice the past few days, […]

Damien Williams – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Damien Williams won the backup job during the preseason and is listed as the No. 2 running back on the depth chart. However, Williams wasn't fantasy-relevant last year, scoring three total touchdowns on 56 touches with the Chicago Bears. Furthermore, Williams has never been a full-time starter. Yet, he averaged 4.7 yards per […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Low-End RB3 In Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is coming off the best year of his career. The former first-round pick had 153 rushing attempts for 618 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns last season, all career highs. He also averaged a solid four yards per rushing attempt. Unfortunately, Patterson's matchup this week isn't ideal for fantasy […]

Marcus Mariota – Week 1 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota heads into Week 1 as the starter. After winning the job early in training camp over the rookie Desmond Ridder, Mariota should start the first several games of the year, barring injury. However, the last time he was a full-time starter was in 2019 with the Tennessee Titans. That year, […]

Drake London's Status Still Uncertain

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has an uncertain status leading up to the team's Week 1 matchup with the New Orleans Saints, as head coach Arthur Smith says a decision on the rookie's status won't be made until after a workout on Saturday. London suffered his knee injury in the preseason opener so […]
