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 […]
