Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 14

In Week 13, Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill were the high-end options that had great matchups.

It’s late in the National Football League season and there are some marquee matchups to headline Sunday’s Week 14 action.

Julio Jones, Austin Hooper Expected To Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) and tight end Austin Hooper (MCL) were both limited participants in Friday's practice and head coach Dan Quinn expects both to play Sunday vs Carolina. Jones missed the game on Thanksgiving but would be a must-start WR1 assuming he's active. Hooper, one of the year's breakout stars at […]

Star Players Who Might Miss the Fantasy Playoffs

As we head into the playoff weeks of fantasy football, you'll hear many experts preach (correctly) the need to stash high-upside handcuffs or backups at quarterback or tight end. You'll inevitably hear about looking ahead three weeks for favorable playoff schedules and thinking less about what the player has done up until now or whether […]

Julio Jones, Austin Hooper Practicing Again Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) and tight end Austin Hooper (knee) are both practicing again on Thursday, which is a good sign for their availability in Week 14 against the Panthers. Jones missed the Thanksgiving game and Hooper has missed the last three contests, so getting them both back would be excellent news […]

Start Younghoe Koo In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has earned at least three field goal attempts in each of his four games with the Falcons. He's hit 12-of-14 attempts on the year. This week, the Falcons face the Panthers in a game that should feature a good amount of scoring. Expect Koo to have the opportunity to hit […]

Falcons Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 14

The Falcons Defense showed some glimpses of hope in Week 10 and Week 11, completely shutting down the Saints and Panthers. However, the past two weeks, they've struggled mightily and have allowed a total of 61 points. This week, the Falcons have their second meeting against the Panthers. While Kyle Allen could turn the ball […]

Qadree Ollison Not A Starting Option In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Qadree Ollison didn't see a single touch in Week 13. The team featured Devonta Freeman heavily in the game, with Brian Hill as his backup. Ollison scored touchdowns in back-to-back games while Freeman was out in Week 11 and Week 12, but now appears to be relegated to benchwarmer status. He […]

Brian Hill Not A Viable Starter In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill saw his workload heavily diminished upon the return of Devonta Freeman in Week 13. This week should be a similar story as the team faces the Panthers. Hill should see only around six or seven touches at best in the game, giving him little hope of a solid fantasy […]

Devonta Freeman Is A Solid RB2 In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman saw a heavy workload in Week 13, following a two-game absence. He had a total of 21 touches in Week 13, including four receptions. He should be similarly featured this week as the team takes on the Panthers. Freeman has greatly struggled from an efficiency standpoint this year, averaging […]

Russell Gage Worth Monitoring For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (ribs) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. He wasn't alone. Julio Jones (shoulder), Calvin Ridley (toe) and Austin Hooper (knee) were all limited as well. Assuming Gage is able to play in Week 14, his upside varies greatly depending on which of the other three hobbled Falcons pass-catchers […]

Calvin Ridley Is A Strong WR2 Play In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (toe) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. He's currently questionable for Week 14 against the Panthers, but there doesn't seem to be much indication that he's at risk to miss the game. Ridley is riding a three-game hot streak. He has 22 receptions for over 300 yards and […]

Julio Jones Is A Low-End WR1 If He's Active In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) missed his first game of the year in Week 13 and is currently questionable for Week 14. He was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. If he can practice in full before Sunday's game against the Panthers, he should be good to go. Jones has had a somewhat […]

Austin Hooper Is A Must-Start If He Goes In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday and could be slated to make his return in Week 14 against the Panthers. Hooper was having a monster season before the injury sidelined him. He earned at least five targets in each of the nine games he played this year […]

Matt Ryan Is A Viable QB1 Option In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a solid bounce-back performance in Week 13, throwing for 312 yards and two touchdowns. This week, Ryan and the Falcons face the Panthers. The Falcons are riddled with injuries on offense, but signs seem to be pointing towards a return for Julio Jones (shoulder) and Austin Hooper (knee) this […]

Austin Hooper, Calvin Ridley Limited Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee), wide receiver Calvin Ridley (toe), wide receiver Russell Gage (ribs) and tight end Jaeden Graham (thigh) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. The biggest one to watch is Hooper, who has been out since Nov. 10 against the Saints. Hooper would be a must-start fantasy TE if […]
