Falcons | Report: Darnell Mooney's Hamstring Injury Isn't Serious Mon Nov 18, 11:20 AM
The early prognosis is Falcons WR Darnell Mooney's hamstring injury from Sunday is not serious, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Mooney did not return to Sunday's lopsided loss to the Denver Broncos after he was hurt. Mooney downplayed the injury after the game. "I'll be fine. My right leg was giving out on me a little bit," he said. "I'll be fine, though." Fowler's report lends credence to that. Either way, Mooney will have the Week 12 bye to recover. We'll follow up as needed. |

Falcons | Kirk Cousins lifted early in rout Sun Nov 17, 06:40 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins completed 18-of-27 passes for 173 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos before being lifted in the fourth quarter of the rout. Rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. finished in mop-up duty.
| Footballguys view: Cousins was under pressure all day as the Broncos defense is staking their claim as one of the best in the league. The Falcons are the division leader, but vulnerable if they start to drop winnable games with the Bucs facing a very weak schedule the rest of the way. |

Falcons | Darnell Mooney nursing hamstring injury Sun Nov 17, 06:28 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) left the Week 11 game against the Denver Broncos due to a hamstring injury, and he is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Mooney will have the bye to recover and frankly the whole team needs the bye after being embarrassed in Denver. We'll be listening for news during the bye to see how severe this injury is for Mooney. If he misses time after the bye it should free up a few targets for Drake London and Kyle Pitts. |

Falcons | Solid outing for Drake London Sun Nov 10, 08:17 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London caught eight of his 12 targets for 97 yards in a 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: London was questionable for this game due to a hip injury, but according to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, the wideout's playing time and target share were utterly unaffected. He led the team in catches, targets, and receiving yards while falling just short of his second 100-yard performance this year. As CBSSports.com notes, London is firmly on pace for his first career 1,000-yard campaign, racking up 649 yards through 10 games with a career-high six TDs. That said, London faces a tough matchup on the road in Week 11 against Patrick Surtain II and the Broncos. |
Falcons | Bijan Robinson gashes Saints Sun Nov 10, 08:11 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson rushed 20 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 28 yards in a 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, Robinson played in 78 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps, among the top five games of his career. Gamescript was a factor. Robinson is the clear receiving back over Tyler Allgeier, while Allgeier tends to see more snaps in the Falcons victories. Whatever the case, Robinson currently sits at RB3, averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game this season. As Jahnke suggested, in this role, "he could be the best fantasy running back during the fantasy playoffs." The Falcons play the Broncos in Week 11. |
