eek 5 Another game Kendall Sheffield Atlanta Falcons Jersey , another loss. It’s becoming second nature at this point, unfortunately. Unlike the past two losses, however, the offense was shut down for the most part in this one, so not even fantasy players benefited as much.We have a lot of great content analyzing the game here at The Falcoholic, but in this article, we’ll look at things strictly from a fantasy football perspective. Let’s look at Atlanta’s top fantasy performer and biggest fantasy disappointment from Week 5’s defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Fantasy Stud/Dud 2018 History:Past Studs: Matt Ryan (2), Julio Jones (1), Calvin Ridley (1)Past Duds: Devonta Freeman (1) Womens Kendall Sheffield Jersey , Mohamed Sanu (1), Atlanta D/ST (1), Austin Hooper (1)Stud - Mohamed SanuStat Line - 4 catches, 73 receiving yards, 1 touchdown: 13.3 standard league points, 17.3 PPR pointsMohamed Sanu just keeps proving me wrong every week. For the third straight week, I suggested to sit Sanu in my weekly start/sit column, and for the third straight week he put up starter worthy numbers in what should’ve been a poor situation for him. I solemnly swear not to put the “sit” by Sanu’s name this upcoming week.It was an overall very bad game for all of the usual big names on offense. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley were each held to under 65 receiving yards, Matt Ryan threw one TD pass and failed to reach 300 yards passing while fumbling once and the run game was just shut down completely.Sanu accounted for the only receiving touchdown in this one — a 43-yard catch and run on the team’s second drive of the game — and he finished second on the team with 73 receiving yards. Since he was one of the only players not to lay an egg in Week 5 Deion Sanders Jersey 2019 , giving Sanu his first “stud” award was an easy decision.DudTevin Coleman: 7 carries, 15 rushing yards, 2 catches, 15 receiving yards: 3.0 standard league points, 5.0 PPR pointsBoth Freeman and Coleman were horrendous from a fantasy standpoint, in a game where both of them looked starter worthy coming into the week. Freeman gets somewhat of a benefit of the doubt in that this was his first game back from injury. He also recorded a few more yards from scrimmage than Coleman (41 to 30), so Teco gets the dishonor this week.Coleman got absolutely nothing going in this one, averaging a brutal 2.1 yards per carry. He’s been disappointing in every game since his explosion against the Panthers in Week 2, but he didn’t have the volume to establish a high fantasy floor this week.Ito Smith was the only Falcons’ RB to find the end zone Blue Deion Sanders Jersey , probably infuriating both Freeman and Coleman fantasy owners alike. It’s not like either of them deserved to score that garbage time TD when the game was already out of hand, however. Coleman has failed to take advantage of his opportunity with Freeman sidelined. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carson Wentz’s value to the Philadelphia Eagles is reflected clearly in a historic betting line.The Eagles (13-3) are the first No. 1 seed to be an underdog in their opening playoff game. The sixth-seeded Atlanta Falcons (11-6) are 2 -point favorites in Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff.“It doesn’t really matter,” wide receiver Torrey Smith said Monday. “We’re better than that, but we have to show it.”After Wentz tore his ACL in Week 14, the Eagles went 2-1 with backup quarterback Nick Foles. But the offense was inconsistent. Foles played well in his first five quarters after replacing Wentz and struggled in the next five. He sat out the final three quarters in Week 17 along with most of the starters.Oddsmakers weren’t impressed. Of course, players and coaches shrugged off the disrespect.“I don’t care what people say because what people say has never won a game for me and my teammates,” linebacker Dannell Ellerbe said.Defensive end Chris Long said it would be foolish for the team to use this as motivation.“This is not the way we think,” he said.The Falcons are coming off a 26-13 playoff win at the Los Angeles Rams after beating Carolina in a win-or-out regular-season finale. The defending NFC champions had their worst offensive performance during the 2016 season in a 24-15 loss at Philadelphia in Week 10.Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz isn’t drawing too much from that victory. Atlanta has a new offensive coordinator — Steve Sarkisian replaced Kyle Shanahan — and it took a while for them to get things on track.“They are a little bit different than last year,” Schwartz said. “Every team’s going to be a little bit different from year-to-year. There’s going to be some things you do well Best Takkarist McKinley Jersey , some things that you put in in the offseason, some things that maybe fit your personality a little bit more. There’s still a lot of challenges with that team. I mean, it goes well beyond a player like Julio Jones. It goes well beyond the quarterback (Matt Ryan). Their tight end (Austin Hooper) is having a great year. Their running backs (Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman), if you combine the running back stats, you’re talking about a first-team All-Pro — 1,500 yards, I think 12 touchdowns. So we have to look at it that way. There’s going to be a lot of challenges this week.”
