BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Keelan Cole couldn't help Jacksonville get a W this past Sunday, he put on his best performance of the season and it can't be argued he was the lone really bright light of the offense against Detroit.

Hayden Hurst Has Touchdown In Win

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst had four receptions for 57 yards and a score on four targets in Week 6. This was another stellar performance by Hurst but his consistency is not there.

Matt Ryan Erupts For 371 Yards

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished Week 6 by going 30-for-40 with 371 yards and four touchdowns. Ryan easily had one of his best performances of the season and reminded fantasy managers of his potential any given week. The QB has been a bit streaky this year, but can generally be trusted in most matchups.

Calvin Ridley Questionable To Return With Cramps

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (cramps) is questionable to return in Week 6 as he is dealing with cramps. Ridley left the team's game against the Minnesota Vikings in the third quarter while the Falcons were up 23-7. Ridley had six catches for 61 yards and a touchdown before the cramps set in. Stay […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Falcons Defense Loses John Cominsky To Reserve/COVID-19 List

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle/end John Cominsky (undisclosed) was placed on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, making him the second Falcon to hit the list this week.
