David Sills David Sills Blanked by Cardinals
Wed, Dec 24, 2025, 7:38 AM
Sills failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Sills played 32 of the Falcons' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both Darnell Mooney (54) and Drake London (53). Atlanta's No. 3 wideout followed up his career-best effort in Week 15 with a catchless performance in Week 16, his ninth game without a grab in 15 appearances. Sills remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Rams. |

Darnell Mooney Darnell Mooney Records two catches in win
Wed, Dec 24, 2025, 7:26 AM
Mooney caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Mooney played 54 of the Falcons' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Atlanta wide receiver in the contest. Despite leading the the receiving corps in snaps, the veteran wideout continued his streak of underwhelming performances. In 13 appearances, Mooney has recorded just 27 catches for 388 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old will remain difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Rams. |

Charlie Woerner Charlie Woerner One catch in Week 16
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 12:55 PM
Woerner caught his lone target for three yards during Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The 28-year-old played 75 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps and caught a pass for the second consecutive game during Sunday's win. Across 15 appearances this season, Woerner has tallied 48 receiving yards on nine receptions. He's expected to continue playing behind Kyle Pitts in Atlanta's Week 17 matchup against the Rams. |

Kirk Cousins Kirk Cousins Scores three more TDs in Week 16
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 9:51 PM
Cousins completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 197 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and a lost fumble while scoring a third touchdown and losing three yards on five carries in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Cousins was unable to replicate last week's vintage 373-yard performance, but he was able to reproduce the trio of touchdowns in another winning effort. The 36-year-old's third trip to the end zone came via a rare QB sneak in the fourth quarter that would end up serving as the game-deciding score Sunday. Cousins is beginning to show flashes of his former glory after looking rusty in his first few starts taking over for the injured Michael Penix (knee). While he is far from a sure thing, Cousins has at least put himself back in the conversation for potential starting options for fantasy managers in desperate QB situations. A Week 17 matchup against a tough Rams' defensive unit dampens the excitement around the veteran starter for those in standard fantasy leagues. |

Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts Stays hot with another TD in win
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 8:40 PM
Pitts corralled seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The Falcons welcomed back No. 1 wideout Drake London (knee) from a four-game absence, but Pitts maintained his elevated role in Atlanta's passing game with Kirk Cousins under center. The 24-year-old Pitts was averaging 8.8 targets in the four games London missed, and the former's nine targets finished behind only RB Bijan Robinson's 11 on Sunday. The 2021 first-round pick is starting to play like one by averaging 98.8 yards with four total touchdowns over his last four starts. A red-hot Pitts will attempt to keep things rolling against the Rams next Monday. |

Drake London Drake London Struggles in Week 16 return
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 8:28 PM
London (knee) had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: London returned from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was held in check by Arizona's defense. The star wideout was averaging 6.7 receptions and 90.0 yards in nine active games prior to going down in Week 11, highlighting the stark drop-off in production in Sunday's return. The good news is that London appeared to get through the contest without suffering a setback, potentially setting up a true return to form in Week 17 against the Rams. |

Bijan Robinson Bijan Robinson Posts WR1 numbers Sunday
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 6:43 PM
Robinson rushed 16 times for 76 yards while adding seven receptions on 11 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Robinson split backfield work nearly evenly with backup Tyler Allgeier (16-79-0) in Sunday's road win, but it was the former's work as a receiver that ultimately led to a standout fantasy performance. The 23-year-old Robinson has been generating WR1-type production over Atlanta's last two contests (15-174-1) while reaching double-digit targets in each game. The dual-threat superstar eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark in total yards from scrimmage with Sunday's balanced output. Robinson should continue playing a huge role in the Falcons' late-season boon on offense when the team hosts the Rams for Monday Night Football in Week 17. |

Malik Heath Malik Heath Won't play due to personal matter
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 1:54 PM
Heath (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Heath was slated to make his Falcons debut Sunday, but he returned to Atlanta to attend a personal matter, per Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site. Heath's next opportunity to play is Week 17 against the Rams on Monday, Dec. 29. |

Drake London Drake London Returning to action Sunday
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 1:40 PM
London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: London is putting an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his inability to practice in any more than a limited capacity during Week 16 prep suggests he may not be able to handle his normal workload. Nevertheless, he put together three straight 100-yard receiving efforts in his last stretch of play Weeks 9-11, so he likely will resume his status as the Falcons' No. 1 WR, at the very least, for QB Kirk Cousins. |

Drake London Drake London Remains likely to play Week 16
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 11:10 PM
London (knee), who is officially questionable for Sunday's battle against Arizona, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he expects London to suit up Sunday, and that outlook doesn't appear to have changed. If London does play, it will mark his return from a four-game absence. He'd immediately slot back in as Atlanta's No. 1 wideout for QB Kirk Cousins, who was the team's backup quarterback the last time London took part in a game. |

Chris Blair Chris Blair Elevated for Week 16
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 2:57 PM
The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad Saturday in order for him to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney and Terrin Waack of the team's official site report.
Analysis: Blair will operate as a depth wide receiver while also contributing on special teams versus Arizona. He handled three snaps on offense and five snaps on special teams versus the Buccaneers in Week 15. Blair will likely revert to the practice squad after Sunday's contest. |

KhaDarel Hodge KhaDarel Hodge Moved to IR
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 4:35 PM
The Falcons moved Hodge (shoulder) to injured reserve Friday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Hodge was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals and was promptly moved to IR. This move will end the wide receiver's season, as the mandatory four-week reserve period will extend through Week 18. Hodge finishes the season with three receptions for 31 yards on 10 targets through 12 games. In a corresponding move, the Falcons signed safety Jammie Robinson to stabilize an injured defensive back room. |

KhaDarel Hodge KhaDarel Hodge Ruled out for Sunday
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 3:56 PM
Hodge (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Hodge played through the issue with his shoulder in the Falcons' Week 15 win over the Buccaneers, but the wide receiver's inability to practice this week implies he suffered a major setback. The depth receiver's absence will likely not shake up the Falcons' offensive target share too much, though Jamal Agnew may see more offensive snaps. |

Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts Cleared to play
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 2:34 PM
Pitts (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona.
Analysis: The Falcons added Pitts to their injury report mid-week, listing him as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. The lack of game designation suggests Pitts will be ready for his usual near-every-down role against an ice-cold defense, but it remains to be seen if the tight end can keep his hot streaking going with WR Drake London (questionable - knee) potentially returning from a four-game absence. |

Drake London Drake London Questionable, expected to play
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 1:19 PM
London (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, with Falcons coach Raheem Morris saying Friday that the expects the wideout to play, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Analysis: London is on track to return from a four-game absence after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers will still need to keep an eye on the situation ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm. ET kickoff, as London didn't quite make enough progress to avoid an injury designation for the game. It'll be a good matchup if he plays, given Arizona's recent struggles on defense. |

Kyle Pitts Kyle Pitts Limited by knee issue
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 3:13 PM
Pitts was a limited practice participant Thursday due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Pitts experienced some practice restrictions last week due to a knee issue, but he still was able to suit up Week 15 at Tampa Bay and produce the signature performance of his career with 11 catches (on 12 targets) for 166 yards and three touchdowns. Friday's injury report not only will unveil if Pitts enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Arizona, but if top WR Drake London has a chance to put an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL injury. |

Drake London Drake London Another limited session
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 3:06 PM
London (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: London now has strung together back-to-back capped sessions this week as he seeks to put an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee. Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a chance to return to action Sunday at Arizona, and if TE Kyle Pitts, who showed up on Thursday's injury report as limited with a knee injury of his own, also has a designation for that contest. |

KhaDarel Hodge KhaDarel Hodge Still nursing shoulder injury
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 6:54 PM
Hodge (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Hodge played through the issue with his shoulder in Week 15 at Tampa Bay, so it's possible he and the team are just playing things safe. He'll have two more chances to practice before Atlanta releases its final practice report of the week Friday. |

Drake London Drake London Limited in return to practice
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 3:09 PM
London (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: London has missed the past four games due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his return to practice Wednesday was preceded by coach Raheem Morris telling Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com that the wide receiver now is considered "day-to-day." London will have two more chances to mix into drills this week to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest at Arizona. |

Drake London Drake London Still day-to-day, will practice
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 11:23 AM
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London will participate in practice and remains day-to-day, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Morris expressed optimism Monday about London's chances of retaking the field for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals, and it appears the star wideout will take a tangible step in the right direction Wednesday. In all likelihood, London will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, but if he's able to upgrade to full on field-reps even once in Week 16, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's matchup. |
