Russell Gage Good To Go For Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (head) was able to get a full practice session in on Saturday and is good to go for Monday night's matchup with the Packers. This is excellent news for a Falcons' offense that could be featuring Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle, calf) at less than 100 percent. […]

Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley Questionable For Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle, calf) are both being listed as questionable for Monday night's clash with the Green Bay Packers. Both players were limited participants on Friday and Saturday, so they're presumably trending in the right direction. Fantasy managers should expect these two to play, though there is […]

NFL DFS - Defenses to Feast On in Week 4

Nothing is more important than matchup analysis when it comes to fantasy football. It is becoming clear that the Colts, 49ers, Chargers and Patriots Defenses are looking like units you want to avoid because they limit opposing passing attacks and point opportunities. On the other side of things it's becoming even more clear that the Seahawks, […]

Week 4 DFS GPP Value Plays - FanDuel, DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The NFL was hit with its first wave of COVID-19 postponements this week and has taken the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennesse Titans off the board for this week's DFS slates. Hopefully, this will be the first and only time this happens in 2020, but […]

Julio Jones Trending In The Right Direction For Monday Night

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), who missed Week 3 against the Bears, is trending in the right direction to play on Monday night against the Packers.

RB Insurance Report: Essential Adds and Backfield Updates

Chris Carson often plays at a fantasy RB1 level when he is available. But he has a checkered injury history that even preceded his college days. So when I drafted him in several leagues this season, I made sure to take Carlos Hyde later on as an insurance pick every time. So when Carson went […]

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 4

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Falcons Sign Elliott Fry

The Atlanta Falcons signed kicker Elliott Fry to their practice squad on Thursday with Younghoe Koo (groin) expected to miss time with a groin strain. There's a chance that Fry is elevated to the active roster in time to make his NFL debut on Monday night against the Packers. The Falcons have no other place […]

Falcons Defense Not A Starting Option

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should be well off the starting radar for this week against Green Bay. The ATL defense has been the Achilles heel of this team as they have blown late leads in Weeks 2 and 3. They have allowed 38, 40, and 30 points thus far this season and now face a […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 At Best

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is a low-end TE1 for Week 4. Hurst has been hard to figure out on this offense, as he saw eight targets and got 72 yards in Week 2, but only had one reception for one yard in Week 3 when Julio Jones was out and Russell Gage was […]

Russell Gage A Flex Play If Active

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is a flex play if he is active this week against the Packers. Gage suffered a head injury in Week 3 which caused him to miss much of the game. It remains unclear whether he will play in Week 4. The 2018 pick put up an impressive first two […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 4

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a WR1 for Week 4 against Green Bay. In three games, the Alabama product has seen no less than 10 targets and has recorded at least 109 yards, an incredible feat. Ridley has emerged as a reliable and explosive target for Matt Ryan. Against a Green Bay defense […]

Julio Jones A WR1 Against Green Bay If Active

If active, Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) will be a WR1 for this week's showdown against the Packers on Monday night. The talented wideout was inactive in Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, and it remains unclear if he will play this week. If he does suit up, expect him to see his normal […]

Todd Gurley II A Solid RB2 In Week 4

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is an RB2 for the Week 4 clash against the Packers. Though he hasn't been a factor in the receiving game, Gurley has seen no less than 14 carries and 56 rushing yards in a game this season. His role as the lead back is not in peril […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Green Bay

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 in Monday night's game against the Packers. With the ATL defense reeling, Ryan and the offense have had up to put tons of points on the board to stay competitive. As a result, the QB has been putting up great numbers all season, including a four-touchdown […]

[…]

Disaster Recovery - Week 3's Studs Turned Duds

The NFL was low on studs in Week 3. The top two players in fantasy, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, were both out injured. Three of the top wide receivers in football, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, and Michael Thomas, were all out as well. We also were without the second-best tight end in the game […]

It's time for our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, the column that focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB).

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

With many of us still reeling from the injury-filled Week 2, we were faced with further injuries to Chris Carson (knee), Dallas Goedert (ankle), DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Jordan Reed (ankle/knee), Russell Gage (head), Diontae Johnson (possible concussion), John Brown (calf), Tarik Cohen (knee), Michael Pittman Jr. (ankle), Chris Godwin (hamstring), and Mike Williams (hamstring). Take […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

The collection of injuries that emerged at the running back position has forced teams throughout the NFL to restructure their backfields. Some offensive units are not operating with the same lead backs that were spearheading their rushing attacks in Week 1, while other franchises created fresh committees to compensate for the loss of their original […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

The NFL season is moving along and so are fantasy seasons. This season has been filled with more injuries than anticipated, unfortunately leaving many teams and fantasy squads to test their depth. Through three weeks, guys like Chris Godwin, Christian McCaffrey, and Saquon Barkley have hardly made much of a fantasy impact. As we go […]

Week 3 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 3 was a wild one in the NFL with several key players going down with injuries and a few shootouts going down. The quarterback position was fairly stable with Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and Dak Prescott finishing as the top-three producers at the position. Tight end on the other hand was an absolute disaster […]

Younghoe Koo Expected To Miss Time

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (groin) is expected to miss time with a groin strain and could be placed on the short-term Injured Reserve, which would cause him to miss at least three weeks. It's a blow for fantasy managers that have been enjoying Koo's contributions in the early part of the season. The 26-year-old […]

Completed Air Yards Over Expectation - Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers

If you play fantasy football, you know your great deal of statistics and metrics. At the end of the day, we need some way to measure production. While the basic numbers (targets, receptions, yards,...) are often enough to give us a solid idea of what we're dealing with, the truth is that the deeper we […]
