Drake London Records 70 Scoreless Yards In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London earned 10 looks in Week 14 but was able to haul in just five of those passes, tallying 70 yards receiving in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. With Kirk Cousins going four weeks without a touchdown pass, so too has London. Still, it was the third time in the last four games that the 23-year-old totaled double-digit targets, and with the fifth-most targets in the NFL through 14 weeks, the former first-round draft pick has a reliable role in this offense with more productive days to come -- so long as Kirk Cousins is under center for the Falcons and not rookie Michael Penix Jr. It's a situation to monitor, but for now Cousins' job is safe according to head coach Raheem Morris, so London should again be a borderline WR1 in Week 15 against the Raiders.

Bijan Robinson Goes Over 100 Total Yards, Scores In Week 14 Loss

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 22 times for 92 yards and a score while adding two catches for nine yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. The 22-year-old has gone over 100 total yards rushing and receiving in seven of the last eight games and nine of 13 overall. The rushing score was his ninth TD of the season, and although it was just the second time all season that the former first-round draft pick failed to log at least three receptions, he's caught at least two balls in every game, giving him a solid weekly floor in fantasy. The second-year pro continues to be a weekly RB1 regardless of matchup and that should be no different in Week 15 when the Falcons take on the Raiders.

Ray-Ray McCloud III With Eight-Reception Performance In Loss

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III earned the most targets of any Falcon pass catcher on Sunday with 11, converting a team-high eight of them and racking up 98 yards while adding one rush for three yards in a 42-21 loss to the Vikings. It continues an impressive stretch of productivity for the 28-year-old, now with at least four catches and six targets in three straight contests. Atlanta's kick returner lost a fumble that reduced his fantasy output slightly, but overall it was another example of the veteran cementing himself as the third option in Atlanta's passing attack. With 53 receptions, 574 receiving yards, and one TD on the season, McCloud III should have some appeal again as a flex option in Week 15 against the Raiders, especially in PPR formats.

Darnell Mooney Leads Falcons In Receiving Yards In Week 14

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney hauled in six of seven targets for 142 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. Mooney ripped off chunk plays of 24, 28, and 49 yards on the way to logging the highest yardage total of the season and of his career. The 27-year-old has now recorded six or more targets in 10 of 13 games this season, catching six or more passes in three of them, and now has a slight edge for the team lead in receiving yards with 873 compared to Drake London's 866 yards. The fifth-year pro will look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Raiders who allowed three different wide receivers to catch four passes for at least 59 yards while allowing two touchdowns to wideouts in Week 14. Mooney figures to be in the WR3 range again for that matchup.

Kirk Cousins Throws Two More Picks, No TDs In Week 14 Loss

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has now gone four consecutive weeks without a touchdown pass after Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. The 36-year-old completed 23 of 37 passes for 344 yards and threw an additional two picks, now with a 0:8 TD:INT over this four-game stretch in which Atlanta has lost each game. The Falcons have gone from 6-3 and in first place in the division to 6-7 and a game behind Tampa Bay while falling out of even qualifying for a Wild Card spot. Calls for Michael Penix Jr. may grow louder, but in the postgame press conference, head coach Raheem Morris reaffirmed that Cousins will be the team's quarterback. If that remains true, the veteran will get the Raiders in Week 15, a team that had allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to QBs coming into the week and allowed Baker Mayfield to throw for almost 300 yards and three TDs on Sunday. Even so, with the prospect of being benched combined with continued poor play, Cousins looks like he'll be a risky, low-end QB play again in Week 15.
