Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

With Damien Williams on short-term IR with a rib injury, Falcons rookie RB Tyler Allgeier got his 1st pro action in Sunday's loss to the Rams. Allgeier matched RB Cordarrelle Patterson for the team carry lead (10), turning that into just 30 yards. He ran 5 routes but didn't get a target. Allgeier trailed only Patterson in playing time, with Avery Williams and Caleb Huntley factoring in behind them. Patterson ran for 41 yards on 10 attempts and garnered just 1 target (no catches).

Falcons WR Drake London drew 12 targets among just 26 Marcus Mariota pass attempts in Sunday's loss to the Rams. London racked up an 8-86-1 receiving line, while no teammate drew more than 3 looks. Through 2 games, the rookie has garnered 32.2% of Atlanta's total pass attempts. TE Kyle Pitts got just 3 targets against the Rams, tying WR KhaDarel Hodge for 2nd on the team. Pitts caught 2 for 19 yards.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore might miss “a few more weeks” with his hamstring injury, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Arizona reportedly isn’t currently planning to place him on IR. WR Greg Dortch will carry upside as long as Moore is out.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He's yet to practice since injuring his hamstring 8 days ago. WR Andy Isabella (back) is also out for Week 2. Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green will be Arizona's top 3 WRs vs. Vegas.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's unlikely to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, leaving Greg Dortch as Arizona's slot receiver.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. Fantasy owners can't count on him playing vs. the Raiders this weekend. With Moore out last week, WR Greg Dortch stepped in for a 96% route rate and 7-63 line on 9 targets. He's a spot-start option in deeper PPR leagues if Moore is out.

The rain was no joke in Chicago on Sunday, helping produce sub-50% completion rates for both the Bears and 49ers. QB Justin Fields attempted just 17 passes for the game, completing 8 for 121 yards and 2 TDs. Unfortunately for anyone who started WR Darnell Mooney or TE Cole Kmet, those scores went to WRs Dante Pettis and Equanimous St. Brown. RB David Montgomery led the team with 4 targets. Mooney tied for 2nd with just 3 looks, catching 1 for 8 yards. Kmet garnered just 1 target, which fell incomplete. Each guy did, at least, easily lead his position in Week 1 playing time. We're not altering our fantasy football outlooks for Mooney or Kmet based on the opener.

Falcons rookie WR Drake London led the team in catches (5) and receiving yards (74) in Sunday's narrow loss to the Saints, despite entering the weekend questionable with a knee issue. London matched TE Kyle Pitts for the team target lead at 7. That accounted for 21.2% of the team's 33 pass attempts in the game, which would be a good level for both players. They'll need better QB efficiency than Sunday's 6.5 yards per attempt (and 0 TD passes) to capitalize, though.

Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier is a healthy scratch for today’s opener vs. the Saints. It’s only a minor surprise if you were paying attention to the preseason, when Allgeier was clearly behind RBs Cordarrelle Patterson and Damien Williams. The rookie is worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams but probably won’t be a fantasy factor any time soon.

Falcons WR Drake London (ankle) is active for today’s opener vs. the Saints. The rookie was limited in practice all week coming off his August 12 knee injury, so it’s unclear if he’s ready for a full slate of snaps today. London would be a risky Week 1 fantasy play.

Falcons WR Drake London (knee) is expected to play vs. the Saints today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. London was limited in practice all week after his August 12 knee injury, so it's unclear if he'll be ready for a full workload. We'd try not to use London in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) is out for this weekend's opener vs. the Chiefs. He hurt his hamstring on Thursday and didn't practice on Friday. We'll look for further updates on Moore's hamstring, but this could be a multi-game absence. With WR DeAndre Hopkins out on suspension, it'll be Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Andy Isabella and Greg Dortch as Arizona's top 4 WRs on Sunday. It's a concern for QB Kyler Murray.

Falcons WR Drake London (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's opener vs. the Saints. The rookie was limited in practice all week coming off his August 12 knee injury. HC Arthur Smith said a final decision on London's Week 1 status will come on Saturday. Even if he plays, it's tough to imagine London being ready for a full-time role. We'd try not to use him in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith said the team will make a decision on WR Drake London's Week 1 status on Saturday. The rookie has been limited in practice so far this week after injuring his knee in the preseason opener. Even if London plays vs. the Saints this weekend, there's a chance that he's limited after missing so much time. We'd keep him on fantasy benches.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore injured his hamstring running a route in Thursday's practice, Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson reports. Moore is scheduled for an MRI to determine the severity. We'll pass along an update when we get one, but Moore now looks unlikely to play vs. the Chiefs on Sunday. Arizona, of course, is also without WR DeAndre Hopkins, leaving Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Andy Isabella and Greg Dortch as the top 4 WRs. It's a concern for QB Kyler Murray.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore was added to Thursday's injury report and limited with a hamstring. He missed some practice time last week with an undisclosed injury, but we're now assuming it was this hamstring. Check back tomorrow for another update on Moore's status for Sunday's opener vs. the Chiefs.

Falcons WR Drake London (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he's able to do tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's opener vs. the Saints.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore is not listed on the Week 1 injury report. Whatever he was dealing with at the end of August is evidently no longer an issue. Moore is in a nice spot on Sunday in a likely shootout vs. the Chiefs and with no DeAndre Hopkins.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith said Wednesday that WR Drake London (knee) is iffy for this weekend's opener vs. the Saints. "We won't know until the end of the week," Smith said. London just got back on the practice field on Wednesday after going down in the preseason opener. Even if the rookie suits up on Sunday, he'll be a shaky fantasy play after missing so much time.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith said after Monday's practice that rookie WR Drake London is "progressing" in his return from a knee injury but that this week of practice will determine whether London will play in the opener. Even if London's active for Sunday's game against the Saints, he'll make for a risky fantasy starter. That he's even contending to play, though, bodes well for the 1st-round pick's outlook beyond Week 1.
