Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney ended up with five catches for 46 yards on eight targets in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: Mooney has been mediocre in the past two games, totaling eight catches for 84 yards and no scores in the past two games. he had nine receptions for 105 yards and two scores on 16 targets in the Thursday night game in Week 5 against the Buccaneers. The Falcons travel to Tampa Bay in Week 8 for the rematch. Treat Mooney as a WR3 for that matchup.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London went for six receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: London has racked up six or more receptions in six straight games, and he has scored in three in a row, and five of the past six games. London went for 12 catches, a season-high 154 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons travel to meet the Bucs in Week 8.

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts registered team highs with seven receptions, 65 yards and nine targets in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: Pitts has strung together three straight games with 65 or more receiving yards, looking more and more like a low-end TE1 in most fantasy leagues. He'll look to keep it rolling in Week 8 at Tampa Bay. he had seven receptions for a season-high 88 yards on eight targets in the first meeting with the Bucs in Week 5.

Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier rushed five times for 36 yards in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, while adding a single 9-yard reception on his only target.
Huddle Up: Allgeier racked up a season-high 18 carries and 105 yards in Carolina last week against the shabby Panthers defense. He went from a co-tailback role to a backup job against Seattle. He remains more of a RB3 heading into Week 8 against the Buccaneers on the road. Allgeier had six runs for 12 yards with three receptions for 13 yards in the first meeting with the Bucs on TNF in Week 5.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson rushed 21 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, and he added three grabs for 40 yards on five targets.
Huddle Up: It was Robinson's first 100-yard of the season. He now has three rushing scores in the past two games, and he should continue to be treated as a RB1 heading into Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had 61 rushing yards, and 77 total scrimmage yards on 15 touches, in Week 5 against the Buccaneers in the first matchup.

Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-35 passes for 232 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, and he ran once for minus-1 yard.
Huddle Up: Cousins had that giant Week 5 showing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 509 yards and four touchdowns, but he has one or no TD passes in five of his other six games, and he has 241 or fewer passing yards in six of seven games. Outside of that amazing TNF performance, he has mostly been a QB2 from a fantasy perspective. Good news, as the Falcons travel to meet the aforementioned Bucs in Week 8.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London has been lining up in a varety of ways depending on the formation, according to offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. "He is certainly a chess piece that you can move around everywhere and he can do everything," Robinson said.
Huddle Up: London is enjoying a career year, and he has emerged as a true No. 1 receiver. He enters Week 7 ranked third in the league in receptions, and he also ranks in the top 10 in receiving yards and touchdowns. London looks like a weekly WR1 option.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 18, and has been removed from the Week 7 injury report.
Huddle Up: Robinson will continue to be a significant part of the Falcons offense and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (rest) was limited at practice once again on Thursday, Oct. 17.
Huddle Up: There is currently zero concern for Robinson's status, as he's just getting some rest. Robinson finally had the huge game we were waiting for last week when he had 105 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. He's a high-end RB2 in Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Huddle Up: Robinson posted over 100 total yards and two touchdowns in the Week 6 game and will continue to be a significant part of the Falcons offense. He is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney posted three receptions for 38 yards on five targets in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Mooney has managed three or more receptions in five straight games, but his yardage total was his lowest since he had just 15 yards in his team debut back in Week 1. He blew up for 105 yards and two scores with nine grabs and 16 targets last week, showing what he is capable of. However, it was more of a ground-based attack for Atlanta on Sunday. He'll look for better results in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, and he can be treated as a WR3 or flex fantasy option for that one.

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts was good for three receptions and 70 yards on five targets in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Pitts has managed 10 receptions for 158 yards and 13 targets in the past two games, his best two-game yardage total since Dec. 26, 2021 to Jan. 2, 2022 when he had 171 yards in a two-game span. He is slowly working his way back into the good graces of fantasy managers, and he looks to keep it rolling in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London posted six receptions for a team-high 74 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: London has scored in two straight games, and four of the past five outings, while piling up 54 or more receiving yards in five straight outings. He also has six or more receptions, making him a tremendous WR2 in PPR leagues, and a solid low-end WR2 in most other formats. The Falcons host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson rushed 15 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, and he added three receptions for 10 yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: Robinson had to share the wealth with Tyler Allgeier, but both are unselfish players, and both were very productive when called upon against the very giving Panthers rush defense. Robinson has had three or more catches in five of six games, and he remains a solid RB2 in most PPR leagues, with slightly less appeal in standard formats. The Falcons host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier had 18 runs for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding a 3-yard reception on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Allgeier and Bijan Robinson split the load, and they were each productive from a fantasy perspective. Allgeier remains a solid RB3 or flex fantasy option in most formats heading into Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins completed 19-of-30 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, as the team leaned upon the run game for 198 yards.
Huddle Up: Cousins did what he needed to do, helping his real team to yet another win, although he didn't do much for fantasy managers. He should have more passing yardage and scores against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7, a team which has been susceptible to the big pass play.

Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (knee) was upgraded to a full practice on Friday, Oct. 11, and has been removed from the injury report for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Mooney has been one of the season's most pleasant surprises, producing in fantasy at a similar rate as Drake London. The Panthers have been getting pounded by receivers in recent weeks, giving up seven touchdowns to the position over the last four weeks. Thanks in part to a high-volume passing attack, Mooney has entered the low-end WR2 discussion and should be started in the majority of leagues.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday, Oct. 11, and will not carry an injury designation into the team's Week 6 game versus the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Robinson popped up on the injury report on Thursday, but there did not appear to be much doubt he would play this week. The matchup does not get much easier than the Panthers, so his fantasy managers have to hope that Atlanta shows a bit more commitment to the run than it has through five games. Do not be surprised if Robinson enjoys his finest fantasy effort of the season in this one.

Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Huddle Up: Mooney probably will be available for the Week 6 game, but fantasy players should know more about his status in a few days. He has been one of the better receivers in the NFL during the early part of the season and should be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons WR Ray-Ray McCloud had six catches (on nine targets) for 66 yards versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: When you pass the ball 59 times, a lot of guys are gonna see action. That included McCloud, who has now been targeted five times or more in four of Atlanta's five games. He looks to be filling the WR3 slot behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney, but the veteran doesn't offer much to fantasy owners with his 66 yards tonight representing a new career high.

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts had seven catches (on eight targets) for 88 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: We have a pulse! Coming off a game in which he was held without a catch, Pitts set season highs in receptions and yards on Thursday night -- incredibly, it was his most yards in a game since he posted a 6-102-0 line on Dec. 26, 2021; that was 33 games ago. Now, the question becomes whether this was a concerted effort from Atlanta to involve their talented tight end, or if it was just a byproduct of the Bucs being deep down the depth chart in the secondary. It'd probably be a leap of faith to stick Pitts in your lineup given his lack of consistency, but if someone cut him loose, you might want to scoop him up and stash him just in case.

Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney had nine receptions for 105 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mooney was targeted a game-high 16 times.
Huddle Up: Left for dead after two disappointing seasons in Chicago, Mooney had been a steady contributor to begin the season with 50-plus yards in three straight games entering play on Thursday. What followed was his first game with over 100 yards since the 2021 season. Perhaps even more encouraging is that, for as good as his numbers were, he left some plays on the field, including a bad drop on a deep ball that hit him right in the chest. While the state of Tampa Bay's secondary is part of the story, Mooney has reached a point where you can consider him for WR3 duty in advantageous matchups.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London caught 12 passes (on 13 targets) for 154 yards and a touchdown during a 36-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: With the Bucs secondary beset by injuries, London took full advantage, establishing a new career high in catches while collecting his second-most yards in a game -- he had 172 versus the Bucs last December. He took a beating, though, being examined for a concussion and then leaving the game right before the final touchdown with what appeared to be a rib injury. That's something you'll want to keep an eye out for. Assuming he's healthy, London looks like a WR2 heading into a Week 6 matchup with Carolina.

Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier totaled 12 yards on six carries versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. He also caught three passes for 13 yards.
Huddle Up: The plan seems to be for Allgeier to get around 10 touches per game, and his fantasy value will derive from what he's able to do with that level of usage. That's an awfully narrow path to value, relegating Allgeier to desperation play status. With a 1,000-yard season on his resume, though, he's at least worth rostering as a handcuff to Bijan Robinson.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson carried the ball a dozen times for 61 yards (5.1 YPC) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. He added three catches (on three targets) for 15 yards.
Huddle Up: Make it three consecutive "meh" performances from Robinson, who opened the year with back-to-back games of more than 110 yards but has averaged 68 combined yards over the past three. Atlanta losing all semblance of balance -- they've totaled 94 passes to just 33 runs the past two games -- is a big part of it. That's of small consolation to anyone that used the top overall pick on Robinson, who was expected to do huge things with defenses having to honor the passing game. There's no option other than to keep him in your lineup and hope he gets more touches in the weeks ahead.

Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins connected on 42 of his 58 passes for a franchise-record 509 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 1 interception during an overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 3. Cousins was sacked four times.
Huddle Up: Uneven for most of the first four games, Cousins morphed into Kirko Chainz on Thursday night, lighting up an injury-depleted Buccaneers secondary for 509 yards, which included a game-tying drive in the final seconds and a game-winning drive on the first possession of overtime. Obviously, this was a once-in-a-lifetime type performance from Cousins, but just go back to his days in Minnesota to remind yourself that he'll have weeks where he tops 300 yards with multiple TDs. He remains a nice QB2 for fantasy owners, though anyone that had him active tonight most definitely LIKED THAT!
