Falcons Don't Have Any Injury Concerns

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team is at full strength from an injury standpoint heading into the Divisional Round against the Eagles this weekend. Wide receivers Julio Jones (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (knee) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) are on the injury report this week, but all three are fine and […]

Devonta Freeman, Mohamed Sanu Limited In Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (knee) were both limited in practice Wednesday. There's no reason to think that either player is in danger of missing the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Freeman scored a touchdown in the Wild-Card game and remains Atlanta's lead back, but he'll […]

Julio Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. The Falcons are almost certainly letting Jones rest ahead of the Divisional matchup with the Eagles this weekend. Jones is used to playing through nagging injuries by now, and he put up nine catches for 94 yards and a touchdown last week in the […]

Matt Ryan Back At Practice

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who missed practice Tuesday to attend to a personal matter, is back at practice Wednesday. There's nothing to see here. Ryan will be fine for the Divisional matchup against the Eagles this weekend, where he'll be a sleeper DFS play. Although Ryan disappointed overall in 2017 after earning MVP honors […]

"Zero Chance" Steve Sarkisian Leaves

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said there is "zero chance" that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian leaves the team to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks next season, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. Sarkisian worked for Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll with USC. Seattle recently fired offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who had been […]

Biggest Quarterback Busts - 2017 Year in Review

Going into the 2017 season, I implored fantasy strategists in a long article to give up on waiting for quarterback, and instead pick one of the top-five guys in place of a standard third or fourth-round selection. Years of fantasy football statistics and results had pointed to the fact that only a handful of quarterbacks […]

Running Back Targets for DFS and Playoff Leagues: Divisional Round

The Wild Card games proved to be wild indeed, with a couple of underdogs advancing to the second round of the NFL playoffs.

NFL Playoff Picks: Wild-Card Weekend

After one of the wildest Week 17's in recent memory and what felt like an extremely short season, we've finally made it to the playoffs. The AFC is very weak. The wild card teams have no shot at reaching the Super Bowl. The four division champs do. Over to the NFC, all six teams can […]

2017 Final Consistency Report - Wide Receivers

I am a mixed bag of emotions because of the end of the 2017 season. I am excited for the NFL playoffs and a chance for the my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to win their third Super Bowl in my lifetime. I am sad because the regular season is at an end and with […]

Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman Limited Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) were both limited in practice Wednesday. Freeman didn't practice Tuesday, so this is an upgrade. The Falcons are just likely resting their lead running back ahead of the Wild-Card matchup with the Saints this weekend. Freeman was held to just 36 yards […]

DraftKings DFS Risers and Fallers - Wild Card Round

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 four games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Taylor Gabriel, Levine Toilolo Limited Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (hamstring) and tight end Levine Toilolo (knee) both did not practice Tuesday. Gabriel had a disappointing season as Atlanta's offense took a step backwards with Steve Sarkisian as the offensive coordinator. Gabriel totaled just 33 catches for 378 yards and one touchdown this year after going for 579 yards […]

Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman Not Practicing Tuesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle, ribs) and running back Devonta Freeman (knee) were both held out of practice Tuesday. It's likely that the Falcons are just resting their top two offensive players ahead of the Wild-Card matchup with the Rams this weekend. Jones has been fighting nagging injuries lately, as usual, but he's […]
