RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 14 Preview

Last week was all about those running backs who have done the most to boost their average draft position heading into 2019. What about those who have done the most to hurt themselves? Even though these running backs haven’t had a great 2018, we should consider buying low on them prior to next season for […]

Julio Jones Says He'll Play Against Packers

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) said he will play in Week 14 against the Packers. “I’ll be ready to go when Sunday comes around," Jones said. He has been held out of practice so far this week, but Atlanta is just being cautious with their star receiver at the end of the season. […]

Julio Jones Expected To Play Despite Missed Practices

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) won't practice fully again on Thursday, but head coach Dan Quinn still expects Jones to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Quinn said Jones' foot was still sore on Thursday. Jones had his worst game of the season last week, and it's fair to wonder how healthy […]

Julio Jones Sits Out Wednesday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Dan Quinn didn't indicate any concern about Jones' status entering Week 14 against the Packers. The team's No. 1 wideout had a season-low two catches for only 18 yards against the tough Ravens defense in Week 13. He left the […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 14

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The picture is pretty clear for fantasy owners seeking help on the waiver wire. All the good quarterbacks are gone, the tight end outlook is bleak at best, there are a ton of wide receivers who could pop in a given week, and one RB (in Pittsburgh) stands clearly above the rest in a group […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 14)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Falcons Defense Returns Scores Touchdown In Week 13

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams had one of the better days of the season Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. It was always going to be tough to make big plays against the run heavy Ravens but the Falcons managed it. Vic Beasley recovered a Lamar Jackson fumble and returned in for the Falcons first touchdown […]

Matt Bryant Has Poor Return On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant did not return very good fantasy production against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Bryant had an early field goal from 44 yards but in the remainder of the game he was only able to add a single extra point. After being injured for most of the week Bryant was able […]

Austin Hooper Salvages Day With Late Touchdown

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper managed to turn a poor day into a fairly successful day with a late touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. This is the second time this season that a late game touchdown has made Hooper a success for fantasy owners, underlining just how touchdown-dependent he is. The positive […]

Calvin Ridley Fails To Make An Impact Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was unable to make a real impact with what opportunities he had against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Ridley was targeted five times with three receptions for 22 yards. Ridley has been an extremely all-or-nothing fantasy option this season, which is not ideal if you are playing in standard […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Unspectacular Day Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu did well with his opportunities on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. However, with just four targets on the day his opportunities were limited as the Falcons offense was unable to push the ball down field in this game. Sanu did also attempt a pass but he failed to connect […]

Julio Jones Has Season-Worst Performance Sunday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones had his worst day of the season on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Jones drew a lot of coverage from the Ravens best cover corner in Jimmy Smith. Jones was unable to do much when matched up against Smith, but he also struggled when lined up with the other […]

Ito Smith Struggles Sunday Against The Ravens

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith had a tough day against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Smith actually led the team in carries with seven but he did not manage to do enough with it to help fantasy owners. On his seven carries Smith managed just 22 rushing yards and added one reception but did […]

Tevin Coleman Has Terrible Outing Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had a terrible performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Coleman carried the ball six times for just eight yards, and added just one reception for three yards on three targets. Coleman has struggled a lot this season in the lead back role and this was another prime example […]

Matt Ryan Struggles In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a rough day against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Week 13. Ryan threw the ball 26 times but only managed 16 completions and 131 passing yards. He managed to add a late touchdown throw to Austin Hooper, but that still did not really salvage a fairly awful day […]

Falcons Still Have Faith In Dan Quinn

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank hasn't "lost any faith" in head coach Dan Quinn or general manager Thomas Dimitroff after another loss to the Ravens in Week 13. Atlanta is currently 4-8 and in last place in the NFC South and well out of playoff contention. Their defense suffered multiple key injuries to their defensive […]

Forget ADP - Bench These Players If You Can

Most leagues will be wrapping up their regular season in Week 13. For others, the playoffs have already begun. Whatever the case may be, this is very much in win-or-go-home territory. There's no room for error in making lineup decisions. That's why you need to bail on underperforming "studs" if you haven't already. No reason […]

Week 13 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 13 is here with a bang! We are past all the byes and we are back to just having the one game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Saints high flying offense was somewhat lost to the week against a very good Dallas defense. The good news is that other high flying offenses in the […]

Deion Jones Won't Be On Snap Count

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that linebacker Deion Jones (foot) won't be on a specialized snap count in his return to action in Week 13 against the Ravens. Jones will be making his first start since being injured in the season opener. He had 100-plus tackles in each of his first two seasons […]
