Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has seen a drop in fantasy production as Kirk Cousins has failed to throw even a single touchdown pass in each of the last four games, however, the 23-year-old has remained heavily involved in the passing attack, garnering double-digit targets in three of the last four games. The former first-round draft pick has a robust 75 receptions and six touchdowns on the season, however, he's topped 100 yards just once in 13 games. Without big yardage totals, a quarterback struggling to throw the ball in the red zone, and the emergence of Darnell Mooney (57-873-5), London makes for more of a high-end WR2 than a WR1, although his matchup versus the Raiders on Monday should prove to be a favorable one. The Raiders have been poor against wide receivers over the last four weeks, allowing six touchdowns and the second-most yards allowed. The Falcons are 4.5-point favorites in this one with an implied total for the team of 24.5, suggesting there will be a few opportunities for the 6-foot-4 wideout to find paydirt.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has gone over 100 total yards rushing and receiving in seven of the last eight games and nine of 13 overall. Heavy involvement in both the running and the passing attack, along with finding the end zone on nine occasions, has propelled the 22-year-old to top-five fantasy running back status on the season. The passing work in particular has provided a solid weekly fantasy floor for the second-year pro. He's hauled in the third-most receptions (53) out of all running backs in football to this point, with at least three receptions in 11 of 13 games. The former first-round draft pick will take on the Raiders on Monday night in Vegas, a defense that has been middle of the pack against the run this season and also over the last few weeks. Quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a TD pass in four consecutive weeks, so should the Falcons get down close, they may again try to punch it in via the rush. Regardless, Robinson projects as a high-floor, high-end RB1 in Week 15 in a game that has the Falcons as 4.5-point favorites.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 9, a stretch of four consecutive games without one, while throwing eight interceptions during that time. The 36-year-old has struggled mightily outside of the three games played against the Buccaneers and Cowboys. In those other 10 contests, the veteran signal-caller has a 6:14 TD:INT while averaging 239 passing yards per game. The silver lining is that the Falcons take on the Raiders this week, a team that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season but have been even worse as of late, with 16 TD passes allowed in their last six games alone. It's possible that the Falcons rely on the run game when in a position to score, as they did last week with all three touchdowns coming via the rush. However, with Atlanta as four-point favorites in desperate need of a win to keep playoff hopes alive, in addition to Cousins possibly playing for his job and with an extra day to prepare, this could be the week to take a flier on the 4x Pro Bowler. It's a risky proposition though, as he projects as a low-end QB2 in Week 15 on Monday night.

According to Chris Easterling of Akron Beacon Journal, the Browns have elevated kicker Riley Patterson to the active roster. This could suggest that the Browns are opting to do a kicking change and moving away from Dustin Hopkins. Over his past five games, Hopkins has struggled as he has gone just 3-for-9 on attempts and 1-for-5 on attempts from 40 yards and over. This was a stark drop compared to the 91.7% FG rate he held last season. Patterson made just one start this season playing with the New York Jets during Week 9. Fantasy managers should monitor this situation leading up to kickoff in case the Browns choose to give Patterson the starting nod. This kicking situation should be avoided in all formats, given Hopkins' struggles and Patterson's lack of proven production.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (foot) upgraded to a full practice session on Friday after he was limited in the team's first official practice of Week 15 on Thursday. Barring a setback in the team's final practice on Saturday, Mooney should be cleared from the final injury report and be good to go for Monday night versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Even in another disappointing loss in Week 14 to the Minnesota Vikings, the 27-year-old Mooney was a bright spot for Atlanta, catching six of his seven targets for 142 yards. In the last five weeks, Mooney has been the WR44 in average half-PPR scoring with 16 catches for 285 yards on 27 targets. He'll be facing a Raiders defense that has allowed the third-most half-PPR points to wideouts in the last five weeks. Mooney should have a strong fantasy floor as a WR3/flex given his 96 targets on the year, which are tied for the 13th-most among receivers.
