Falcons | Drake London goes off in Week 9 Sun Nov 2, 05:39 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London registered nine receptions for 118 yards and a career-high three touchdowns on a game-high 14 targets in Week 9 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: London made big play after big play despite a tough matchup with Christian Gonzalez in a game that should keep him firmly at the top of the target pecking order for Michael Penix Jr. going forward. London has been up and down this season, but the ups are good enough to win your week for you like he did this week. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. back with three TDs Sun Nov 2, 05:17 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 22-of-37 passes for 221 yards, a career-high three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 9 against the New England Patriots, while running twice for 19 yards.
| Footballguys view: Penix wasn't efficient, but he was effective when throwing to Drake London, and that was enough for three scores and a solid fantasy game for anyone that counted on him as a streamer or QB2/Superflex. He'll be an option in that role next week against the Colts in a game that will likely force Penix to throw a lot again. |

Link to story Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. to start in Week 9 Sat Nov 1, 09:39 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will start in Week 9 versus the New England Patriots, after having missed Week 8's game against the Miami Dolphins due to a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Penix missed last week, and Kirk Cousins was below average as the starter for the Falcons. We should see Penix perform in the QB2 range in Week 9 against the Patriots. He'll be limited athletically with this knee injury, but the Falcons offense gets a boost as no1 WR Drake London (hip) is set to play. |
Falcons | Week 9 injury report for Falcons Fri Oct 31, 04:07 PM
Atlanta Falcons CB Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring), OT Storm Norton (foot), WR Casey Washington (back) and DT Zach Harrison (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and has been ruled out for Week 9.

Link to story Falcons | Michael Penix on track to play Fri Oct 31, 04:01 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Penix was limited through Thursday, raising some concern, but he is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots. Sometimes looking like a great offense, consistency has been the Falcons' toughest battle this year. Penix is a shaky QB2 this week. |
Falcons | Kyle Pitts should be available Fri Oct 31, 03:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Pitts is quietly having a nice bounce-back season this year, but his production has mainly come in the games without Drake London. We've got Pitts ranked as a TE1 this week, but that says more about the current tight end landscape than Pitts' expectation. |

Falcons | No designation for Drake London Fri Oct 31, 03:53 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: After a full practice, London should be a full go for this matchup. His production has been sporadic this year, but his weekly ceiling keeps him in fantasy lineups. He's a high-end WR2 against the Patriots this week. |

Falcons | Tyler Allgeier a limited participant Thu Oct 30, 06:04 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: He was a full participant on Wednesday, so let's circle back Friday to see what Allgeier can do. The Falcons' backup back was limited last week and still played on gameday. If he's out there, Allgeier is a deep flex play. |
Falcons | Michael Penix limited Thursday Thu Oct 30, 06:01 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Penix is supposed to be getting the first-team reps this week, but so far he's been limited. A full participation on Friday would mean he's good to go for Week 9. Penix is a high-end QB2 for Fantasy GMs. |
Falcons | Limited practice for Kyle Pitts Thu Oct 30, 05:57 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Pitts is a low-end TE1 if he plays against the Patriots on Sunday. Check back to see what he can do on Friday. |

Falcons | Drake London listed as limited Thu Oct 30, 05:53 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: We'll feel better if London can get a full practice in on Friday. We'd like that for QB Michael Penix too. Against the Patriots on Sunday, London should be considered a WR2/flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. to take bulk of reps Wed Oct 29, 02:50 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is expected to receive the bulk of the repetitions in practice this week, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
| Footballguys view: Kirk Cousins is not someone the Falcons can count on anymore. Penix needs to get healthy and get out there asap...and then OC Zac Robinson needs to put together a better (and less predictable) offense. Let's see how much Penix can do in practice this week as the Falcons prepare for Sunday's game against the Patriots. |
Falcons | Michael Penix day-to-day Tue Oct 28, 02:23 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is considered day-to-day leading up to the Week 9 game, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
| Footballguys view: Penix was held out of Week 8 due to a bone bruise on his knee. Morris suggested the injury isn't serious, but we're still "kind of in a wait-and-see mode." But the Falcons couldn't have been pleased with Kirk Cousins' work against the Dolphins. Atlanta went three-and-out on four of their first five possessions and only managed a field goal on the other against a team that had allowed at least 27 points to everyone except the Jets. The Falcons will face the New England Patriots on the road in Week 9. |

Falcons | Darnell Mooney just one catch vs. Dolphins Sun Oct 26, 07:32 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney caught one of four targets for 11 yards in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Mooney was a crippling bust in lineups after he was set up to be the #1 wide receiver against the Dolphins with Drake London getting scratched at game time due to a hip injury. The Falcons offense was stuck in neutral all afternoon, and Mooney didn't catch a ball until the second half. He's only a what-the-heck flex whether London comes back in Week 9 and no matter who starts at quarterback for Atlanta - although it appears Penix would be better. |

Falcons | Tyler Allgeier scores Falcons' only touchdown Sun Oct 26, 07:25 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier carried four times for four yards and a touchdown and caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins.
Link to story Falcons | Bijan Robinson shut down by Dolphins Sun Oct 26, 07:18 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson carried nine times for 25 yards and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: If you faced Robinson this week, you should thank the fantasy football gods. Not only did Robinson come in under 50 total yards and fail to score - Tyler Allgeier got the garbage time touchdown - he also fumbled in the red zone. Fantasy teams that face Robinson next week when he goes to New England probably won't be so lucky as the ones that faced Robinson in Week 8. |

Falcons | Kirk Cousins doesn't find the end zone Sun Oct 26, 07:09 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 31 for 173 yards with no touchdowns or no interceptions in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: To say that Cousins looked rusty would be an understatement. The team went three and out on four of their first five possessions and only managed a field goal on the other against a team that had allowed at least 27 points to everyone except the Jets, and they were still able to score 21. Atlanta scored 10, and the touchdown only came after the score was 34-3. Cousins is no threat to Michael Penix's job after the second year quarterback missed Week 8 due to a bone bruise on his leg. We'll monitor practice reports heading into the matchup at New England to keep you updated on who will start for Atlanta, and whether Drake London will be able to play after getting scratched at game time because of the hip injury. |
