Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He needs 59 yards to break Mike Ditka's record for receiving yards in a season by a rookie TE, but it looks like he might not get the chance.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has been activated from the COVID list. He's expected to start Sunday's finale vs. the Bears, despite Minnesota having nothing to play for. Cousins isn't an exciting fantasy option, but his return is excellent news for WR Justin Jefferson and the rest of the Vikings' skill-position players.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. Christian Kirk, A.J. Green and Antoine Wesley will continue to operate as Arizona’s top 3 WRs.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts suffered an apparent hamstring injury in the 1st half of Sunday’s game at Buffalo. He posted 2 catches for 69 yards before departing. We’ll let you know if he returns in the 2nd half.

Update: Pitts returned for the start of the 2nd half.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He’s remained Arizona’s #4 WR and isn’t a viable fantasy option.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has tested positive for COVID and will miss Sunday night's game against the Packers. That leaves Kellen Mond and Kyle Sloter as the only 2 QBs available. Combine that with a forecast of 5 degrees at kickoff on Sunday night, and Minnesota's offense does not look like a good source for passing-game upside this week. Justin Jefferson will still belong in most lineups, but you should be able to find better options than players such as WR K.J. Osborn and TE Tyler Conklin.

Update: ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports that QB Sean Mannion is expected to be activated from the COVID list today and is expected to start against Green Bay.

Washington HC Ron Rivera said Monday that QB Taylor Heinicke will start this weekend's game vs. the Eagles but that QB Kyle Allen will "probably" play. Heinicke has bottomed out in his last 2 appearances, completing just 38.3% of his passes for 5.2 yards per attempt. This is obviously a situation to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke is active and will start against the Cowboys tonight. He was activated from the COVID list on Thursday. Heinicke is just a low-end QB2 vs. Dallas’ 4th-ranked QB defense.

Ravens DL Calais Campbell (thigh), EDGE Odafe Oweh (illness) and Brandon Stephens (illness) are active for today's game against the Bengals.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Colts. Christian Kirk, A.J. Green and Antoine Wesley will serve as Arizona's top 3 WRs, just as they did last week.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Colts. The rookie didn't practice all week but will be a game-time decision, HC Kliff Kingsbury said Thursday. Moore remained Arizona's #4 WR last week and isn't a viable fantasy play.

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke has been activated from the COVID list, putting him on track to start Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. It's good news for the Washington offense, but Heinicke is just a low-end QB2 against the league's 4th-ranked QB defense.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore has missed the first 2 practices of the week with an ankle injury. The rookie remained Arizona's #4 WR last week, even with DeAndre Hopkins out, so he's not a viable fantasy play even if he manages to suit up vs. the Colts on Saturday night.

Washington QBs Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen have failed to test out of COVID reserve. So Garrett Gilbert will start tonight’s game against the Eagles, according to multiple reports. Gilbert has 1 NFL start and 44 total pass attempts behind him. It should be a good week to have the Philly D in your fantasy football lineup

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke is going on the COVID list after testing positive. With backup Kyle Allen already on there, that will leave Washington starting Kyle Shurmur at QB Sunday against the Eagles, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports, however, that Washington plans to start Garrett Gilbert, who is signing with the team today. Gilbert at least has some NFL experience: 1 start for last year's Cowboys. Neither would be a fantasy option, and the whole situation just might make Philadelphia the top team-defense play of the week.

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke is scheduled for a Monday MRI on the knee he injured in the loss to Dallas. But the belief going into that test is that he'll be available for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. We should get another update on Heinicke later today.

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke suffered a knee injury in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys and is officially questionable to return. QB Kyle Allen has replaced Heinicke. Stay tuned for an update.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (neck, concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and will be a game-time decision, HC Kliff Kingsbury said.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (neck, concussion) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Panthers this weekend, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Cardinals WR Rondale Moore did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a neck and a concussion. It's the first we've heard of either issue, but Moore's status for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers is now in doubt. Check back tomorrow for another update.
