The Atlanta Falcons got trounced at home versus the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday by a score of 34-14. The Falcons were 3 point favorites throughout the week and could not manage to keep the score close. 

In the box score, Kirk Cousins had a tough day as he threw for 232 yards, 1 touchdown pass, and 2 interceptions. Kirk Cousins is currently the QB-20 on the week in 4 point per passing touchdown leagues. A bright spot in the passing game was Drake London who logged 6 receptions for 63 receiving yards and a touchdown. London’s 18.3 points currently has him as the WR-7 on the week. London is a set and forget top-12 play the rest of the season. 

Kyle Pitts turned in a 13.5 point performance in PPR leagues where he is the TE-7 heading into Monday Night Football. Pitts caught 7 of his 9 targets for 65 yards.  Pitts is now a top-6 play on a weekly basis.

The Falcons ground game continued to show its muscle. Bijan Robinson had 23.3 fantasy points and is the current week’s RB-8.  Tyler Allgeier didn’t muster much with his 23% snap share.  

The Atlanta Falcons are 4-3 and will get a juicy matchup against the division rival Buccaneers in week 8. Continue to start Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson with confidence. Kirk Cousins remains a 2nd QB only in superflex leagues while Tyler Allgeier is best deployed as a stash or a desperation flex play.
