Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Football Forecast

Atlanta Falcons Defense: 6 points

The Atlanta Falcons Defense scored just six fantasy points, after scoring nine in week one. The Falcons had two sacks, and forced one turnover on Cam Newton. The prevent style defense the Dirty Birds deployed late in the fourth quarter, hurt the team’s final fantasy output.

Week Three Outlook:

The Falcons are missing Pro Bowl players Deion Jones and Keanu Neal. Defensive Ends Derek Shelby, and Takk McKinley were banged up against Carolina, and their status for Sunday, is not yet known. Combine that with with the fact that Duke Riley is still getting accustom to playing middle linebacker, there is cause for concern.

The Atlanta Falcons rank as fantasy defense number 20. As much as I despise the sAints, I can’t recommend using the injured Dirty Bird’s defense against Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas and Company.

Advice: Sit The Atlanta Falcons Defense

Matt Bryant – Kicker 8 points

The Atlanta Falcons’ other Matty Ice, scored eight fantasy points for the second week in a row. Matt Bryant has made all three of his field goal attempts this season. His only miss was on an extra point against Philly.

Week Three Outlook

Matt Bryant is as automatic as it gets from a kicker standpoint. The only question is rather Atlanta will score enough touchdowns in the red zone to limit his scoring opportunities. I’m guessing in a shootout, the Falcons can score plenty of touchdowns, while Bryant still gets his.

Advice: Start Matt Bryant
