Julio Jones Set To Return In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) isn't on the final injury report for the Week 6 game against the Vikings, meaning he's likely to return to the field on Sunday after a one-game absence. The 31-year-old has aggravated the same hamstring injury multiple times this year, though, so hopefully it doesn't become a problem […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 6

There are a lot of warning signals from Week 5. The 2020 season is possibly one of the hardest seasons to predict. We are seeing a lot of high-scoring contests that are allowing some lesser-known players to blow up the box score. We are also seeing a changing of the guard due to some of […]

Falcons Cleared To Reopen Facilities

The Atlanta Falcons have been cleared by the league to reopen their facilities on Friday, according to a source. The Falcons held virtual workouts on Thursday after a positive COVID-19 test, but the result was to an assistant coach and not a player, so the team was taking all precautions. The Falcons had zero new […]

Falcons Shut Down Facilities After Positive COVID-19 Test

At least one member of the Atlanta Falcons has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the team to shut down their facilities on Thursday. According to reports, the Falcons are working remotely while the league looks into the test results. ESPN's Adam Schefter originally reported that there were four players who tested positive but later added […]

College Football Betting Expert Picks Week Seven (10/17/2020)

Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban contracted COVID-19, and it might not even be the biggest story in college football. This 2020 football season has brought so many unexpected turns of events that hall of fame coaches instructing their players over Zoom barely even registers. Week Six brought a minor bump in the road, with a […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Younghoe Koo A Solid Starting Option In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option in Week 6. Koo went 3-for-3 last week in field goals, booting in one from over 40 yards and another from over 50. The Vikings allow the most points to fantasy kickers, so this is one of the best weeks to start Koo.

Falcons Defense Should Be On The Bench

The Atlanta Falcons Defense is not a starting-caliber option this week. With a bunch of turnover on the coaching staff this week, it signals the start of a new time for the Falcons. Nevertheless, this unit has been struggling all season with injuries and underwhelming performances, especially in the secondary. The Vikings are potent on […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 If Active

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 if active in Week 6 against the Vikings. Hurst is now dealing with a back injury and his status for the game is unclear. The tight end has not been consistent as he posted two receptions for eight yards on six targets last week while […]

Russell Gage Best Left On The Bench

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is best left on the bench for Week 6. Gage has been dealing with a shoulder injury and it remains to be seen if he even plays this week. Nevertheless, after getting over 100 yards in Week 1, the WR has only gotten 64 total yards in the past […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 this week against the Vikings. Aside from a dud in Week 4 against Green Bay, Ridley has gotten over five receptions and at least 10 targets and 100+ yards receiving in the other four games. With such a rich role, Ridley is a strong play […]

Julio Jones A WR1 If Active In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones would be a WR1 if he is active against the Vikings. Jones was held out last week as he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Nevertheless, the Vikings offer the fifth-most points to fantasy receivers, meaning Jones could have a big day if he ultimately suits up.

Todd Gurley II A Solid RB2 In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a worthy starter this week against Minnesota. The RB has offered minimal receiving value, but has seen at least 14 carries in all five games and posted a season-best 121 rushing yards last week. He also has four rushing touchdowns in the past three games. The Vikings […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Vikings

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 heading into Week 6. The QB has been consistent in his yards this season (at least 226 in all five games) but he only has one touchdown and two picks in the past three games. The Vikings are a favorable matchup for opposing QBs, but Ryan's […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 5's Studs Turned Duds

As we push past the quarter mark of the 2020 NFL season, it gets harder and harder to keep track of the maturations created by COVID. Games are getting rescheduled, pushed, and canceled. Teams are being given last-minute bye weeks that alter the future schedule in half a dozen or more different ways. We gain […]

Marlon Davidson Tests Positive For COVID-19

Atlanta Falcons rookie defensive lineman Marlon Davidson tested positive for COVID-19, according to a league source. Davidson was a second-round pick out of Auburn and played 12 defensive snaps and five snaps on special teams in the Week 5 loss to the Panthers. The Falcons aren't allowed to reveal how long he might be quarantined, […]

Olamide Zaccheaus (WR, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might sound ridiculous, but I think we can consider the Falcons some sort of Dallas-lite: an undercooked version of what the Cowboys have put on the field through the first five weeks of the 2020 season. Atlanta has three great wideouts in […]

The Cut List (Week 6) - Time to Let Go?

If you are familiar with this column, you are probably used to seeing three or four players I dub droppable. For this week, I found that many players that fit the criteria (players owned in at least 30% of leagues) are either obvious drops, or that there just weren’t a whole lot of candidates I […]
