Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts Just two grabs against Indy
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 12:15 PM
Pitts caught two of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The catches and yards were each the second-highest total on the day by a Falcon, as Drake London once again dominated looks from Michael Penix with a 6-104-1 line on eight targets. Pitts has caught multiple passes in every game this season, but he has yet to top 70 receiving yards and has only one touchdown, giving him a decent floor but little ceiling. The tight end will take a 45-420-1 line on 59 targets into a Week 11 meeting with the Panthers. |

Drake London Drake London Another TD in Week 10 loss
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 12:12 PM
London caught six of eight targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts. He added a two-point conversion.
Analysis: No other Falcons pass catcher hauled in more than two passes or gained more than 38 yards, as London continues to be Michael Penix's only reliable downfield option. Sunday marked the fourth time in his last five games that London has topped 100 receiving yards, and he's up to six TDs in nine games, including four in the last two weeks. The fourth-year wideout will look to keep rolling in Week 11 against the Panthers, a team he's scored four touchdowns against in seven career meetings. |

Tyler Allgeier Tyler Allgeier Finds end zone twice in OT loss
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 12:08 PM
Allgeier carried the ball 11 times for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The backup RB scored one-yard TDs in the first and fourth quarters as he continues to take red-zone work away from Bijan Robinson. Robinson led the Falcons with 84 rushing yards on the day but didn't get into the end zone, and he has only two rushing touchdowns in nine games compared to Allgeier's six. It was also Allgeier's first multi-TD performance since Week 1 of the 2023 season. as long as he continues to see heavy usage in the red zone and at the goal line, Allgeier will have some fantasy utility even though Sunday was only the third time this season he's topped 50 rushing yards in a game. |

Bijan Robinson Bijan Robinson Cedes red-zone work to Allgeier
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 12:04 PM
Robinson carried the ball 17 times for 84 yards and caught both his targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.
Analysis: While the third-year back posted his best rushing yardage total since Week 6, he was denied a much bigger performance as Tyler Allgeier punched in a pair of one-yard TDs in his place. Robinson hasn't scored a rushing touchdown in four straight games, his longest drought since his rookie season, as a result of the increased red-zone usage for his backup, and he has just two rushing scores on the year compared to Allgeier's six. Robinson will try to hit paydirt in Week 11 against the Panthers, a team he's scored five total touchdowns against (four on the ground, one through the air) in five career meetings. |

Michael Penix Michael Penix Rough day in Berlin
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 11:57 AM
Penix completed 12 of 28 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The second-year QB also tossed a two-point conversion but got sacked three times and lost a fumble. It's the third straight game in which Penix has failed to complete 60 percent of his passes, although Sunday's 42.9 percent mark was by far a season low. Drake London remains his lone reliable downfield threat, and the duo hooked up for a 16-yard TD in the second quarter and a two-point conversion in the fourth for the Falcons' final points on the day. Penix will try to turn things around on the accuracy front in Week 11 against the Panthers. |

Casey Washington Casey Washington Past back injury
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 7:51 PM
Washington (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A back injury prevented Washington from playing against the Patriots in Week 9, but his ability to practice in full indicates that he is on track to play against the Colts on Sunday. The second-year wideout has caught six passes on 14 targets for 94 yards across five regular-season games, and his return could result in a dip in offensive snaps for David Sills and KhaDarel Hodge. |
|
Darnell Mooney Darnell Mooney Another one-catch outing
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:59 PM
Mooney caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Mooney played every offensive snap for the first time this season, but he finished with only one catch for a third time in six appearances. The wideout caught three passes for a season-high 68 yards during his return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury, but he totaled only two receptions on six targets for 26 yards over his past two appearances. Only three Falcons saw more than two targets Sunday: Drake London (14), Bijan Robinson (10) and Kyle Pitts (seven). |

Tyler Allgeier Tyler Allgeier Minor role in loss
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 2:57 PM
Allgeier rushed twice for six yards during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: The Falcons trailed for most of Sunday's loss, which led to only 14 rushing attempts compared to 37 passes for Michael Penix. A pass-heavy game script means a muted role for Allgeier, who saw double-digit touches in four of Atlanta's first five games. However, over the past three games, the backup running back has totaled only 10 rushing attempts. |

Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts Four catches in Week 9
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 4:50 PM
Pitts caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Drake London and Bijan Robinson combined for 17 catches, 168 receiving yards and three London receiving touchdowns, but Pitts was the best of the rest, as Darnell Mooney contributed Atlanta's only reception by a player other than London, Robinson or Pitts. After catching all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins in the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins, Pitts was back to working with Michael Penix, who returned from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. Pitts has at least three receptions in every game this season heading into a Week 10 meeting with the Colts in Berlin. |

Bijan Robinson Bijan Robinson Gets 20 touches in Week 9 loss
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 4:42 PM
Robinson rushed 12 times for 46 yards and caught eight of 10 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Robinson didn't get many opportunities on the ground as the Falcons tried to play catch-up with a pass-heavy approach, but he was heavily involved as a receiver out of the backfield. Drake London scored all three of Atlanta's touchdowns while leading the team with nine catches and 118 receiving yards, but all other Falcons pass catchers besides London and Robinson combined for only five receptions and 53 yards. Robinson's versatile skill set should ensure he maintains a prominent role in Week 10 against the Colts in Berlin as he tries to snap a two-game touchdown drought. |

Michael Penix Michael Penix Throws three TDs to London
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 3:54 PM
Penix (knee) completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Penix posted a new career high with three touchdown passes in his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. All three were thrown to Drake London, who returned from a one-game absence of his own due to a hip injury. They connected for a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter, a two-yard touchdown in the second and an eight-yard score in the third. Seventeen of Penix's 22 completions went to either London or Bijan Robinson. Penix will likely continue to lean heavily on those two playmakers in Week 10 against the Colts in Berlin. |

Drake London Drake London Scores three TDs in return
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 3:33 PM
London caught nine of 14 targets for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: London boxed out his defender on a leaping one-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, then high-pointed the ball for a two-yard score in the second quarter and added a one-handed snag for an eight-yard touchdown in the fourth. A missed PAT after London's third touchdown catch proved to be the difference as Atlanta's comeback attempt came up short, but London showed no ill effects from the hip injury that kept him out of the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins. The Falcons' other wide receivers combined for only three targets against the Patriots, so London's locked in as the team's top option in the passing game heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Colts in Berlin. |

Kirk Cousins Kirk Cousins Returning to backup role
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 3:36 PM
Cousins will move back to the No. 2 QB role Sunday at New England with Michael Penix (knee) not receiving a designation for that contest
Analysis: Cousins earned a spot start for Penix this past Sunday against the Dolphins due to the latter's bone bruise in his knee, but the former didn't fare well, completing 21 of 31 passes for 173 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and rushing twice for two yards in a 34-10 loss. This week, Penix followed up limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full session Friday, thereby clearing him to return to action. Cousins likely won't see the field Sunday, barring an injury setback to Penix or a garbage-time appearance. |

Casey Washington Casey Washington Sidelined for Week 9
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 2:30 PM
Washington (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Washington has played a depth role in the Falcons' wide-receiver corps this season, catching six of 14 targets for 94 yards over five appearances. Jamal Agnew could play a larger offensive role with Washington out in Week 9. |

Tyler Allgeier Tyler Allgeier Good to go
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 1:55 PM
Allgeier (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Allgeier played through the same injury last week and ended up handling a season-high 40 percent snap share in the 34-10 loss to Miami. He'll likely play much less this week, unless the Falcons end up in a blowout again |

Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts Cleared to face Pats
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 1:53 PM
Pitts (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pitts handled his usual workload in last week's loss to the Dolphins and didn't miss any practices this week. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday, which was enough to gain clearance on the final injury report -- something that also happened for QB Michael Penix (knee) and WR Drake London (hip), bringing Atlanta's passing game back to full strength. |

Drake London Drake London Good to go
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 1:52 PM
London (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: London upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. He'll return from a one-game absence due to a hip injury to face a hot New England defense led by CB Christian Gonzalez. |
|
Michael Penix Michael Penix Cleared to play Week 9
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 1:50 PM
Penix (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: WR Drake London (hip), WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring), TE Kyle Pitts (ankle) and LT Jake Matthews (ankle) also avoided game designations on the final injury report, bringing Atlanta's offense back to near-full strength ahead of a challenging matchup. Kirk Cousins' poor performance in Penix's stead last week likely answers questions about Penix being benched for performance reasons anytime soon. |

Casey Washington Casey Washington Back at practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:31 PM
Washington (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: A back injury prevented Washington from practicing Wednesday, but he took a step in the right direction by logging a limited session Thursday, and he would likely avoid an injury designation for Week 9 against the Patriots if he were to practice in full Friday. Washington played just four offensive snaps against the Dolphins in Week 8, and he would remain in a limited role on offense if Drake London (hip) is cleared to play against New England. |
|
Tyler Allgeier Tyler Allgeier Limited by knee Thursday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 3:56 PM
Allgeier (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Allgeier took a questionable tag into Atlanta's Week 8 loss to the Dolphins due to hip and knee injuries but wound up playing a season-high 40 percent snap share and scoring the Falcons' lone touchdown. He's back on the injury report Thursday after avoiding Wednesday's injury report. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Allgeier has an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots. |
