Hayden Hurst - Splits with PittsHurst caught four of eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

ImpactHurst posted a similar stat line to rookie fourth overall pick Kyle Pitts, despite significantly less volume, as Pitts finished with four catches for 31 yards on eight targets in his NFL debut. Atlanta frequently employed two tight ends in the formation, as both Hurst (43 of 72) and Pitts (49 of 72) were on the field for at least 60 percent of the team's offensive snaps, suggesting there's a role for both guys in the offense moving forward.

Russell Gage - Goose egg in Week 1Gage failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

ImpactGage was far from the only Falcons player who struggled in the opener, as Atlanta failed to get into the end zone offensively and gave up at least a touchdown in every quarter to boot. On the bright side, Gage clearly is locked in as the team's No. 2 receiver. He played 49 of 72 offensive snaps, trailing only Calvin Ridley (61) while no other wide receiver played more than 19. Gage, along with the rest of the Falcons, will look to pick things up in Tampa Bay in Week 2.

Younghoe Koo - Goes 2-for-2 in season openerKoo connected on both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

ImpactThe Falcons started off Week 1 with back-to-back red zone appearances on their first two drives. However, the offense stalled inside the 10-yard line both times, allowing Koo to sink two chip shots. The 27-year-old has led all kickers in fantasy points since he took over in Atlanta midway though the 2019 season.

Olamide Zaccheaus - No touches in season openerZaccheaus didn't record any touches in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

ImpactZaccheaus was on the field for 26 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps against Philadelphia, but he wasn't targeted in the blowout loss. The 24-year-old may take on an increased role at some point after Julio Jones was traded to the Titans during the offseason, but he got off to a slow start in the season opener.

Marcus Epps - Enters concussion protocol MondayEpps entered concussion protocol Monday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

ImpactEpps suffered a concussion during Sunday's contest against the Falcons. He will have to clear league protocols for head injuries before he can suit up again. Anthony Harris and K'Von Wallace both saw increased action Sunday and will be in line for more snaps in Week 2 if Epps remains sidelined.
