Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Allgeier has been a solid complement to Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' backfield thus far this season. The Falcons' run game was particularly potent in Monday night's victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 53 yards in Week 2. He has 12 carries for 74 yards on the season. If Allgeier is limited or cannot play this weekend then Robinson projects to see an even larger workload than usual.
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo connected on all three of his field goal attempts and made his lone extra point in the team's win over Philadelphia on Monday night. The trusted kicker was perfect on the night with a long of 39 yards. Koo is one of the best kickers in the league and showed why on Monday night, despite not having any very long opportunities. Continue to fire up Koo at the kicker position in fantasy lineups each week.
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts saw four targets and hauled in three catches for 20 yards in the team's win over the Eagles on Monday night. The talented tight end was a bit quiet in this one with most of his work coming on underneath routes. Wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Moody were the main threats in the passing game in this one. Pitts should remain a good option in this offense this season and there will likely be better games ahead for him. This was a disappointing week for Pitts' fantasy managers but that is the reality of the tight end landscape in fantasy this season. He should still be counted on as a weekly starter at the position.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III racked up five targets in Week 2 against the Eagles and caught three passes for 42 yards. McCloud was behind fellow receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney (seven targets each) in the pecking order in this game but he remained fairly involved in the game plan for the second straight week. He added one rush for three yards as the Falcons looked for ways to get McCloud the football in space. With London and Mooney looking good and each catching a TD pass, it remains to be seen how valuable McCloud will be in this offense this season. But the first two weeks are somewhat encouraging.
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier saw more work in Week 2 in the team's win over Philadelphia. Allgeier garnered 10 touches with nine carries for 53 yards and one catch for 12 yards. It was a solid game for the Falcons' backup running back behind Bijan Robinson and a positive sign moving forward. Allgeier is a good runner and would be a valuable commodity with more opportunities. However, with Robinson dominating the workload it is tough to see too much standalone value for Allgeier in fantasy. But the BYU product still should be rostered in most fantasy leagues due to his potential should Robinson get injured or should he become more of a focal point of the offense.
