NEWS

Caleb Huntley - Done for season Huntley suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Huntley will likely need surgery to address the injury, and his recovery from the procedure could span the entire offseason and stretch into next season. The 24-year-old running back finishes his second professional season with 366 yards and one touchdown on 76 rushing attempts, as well as two catches for three yards on two targets. Avery Williams will likely take over as Atlanta's No. 3 running back behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier.

Alcohol use blamed for death of Bengals analyst Adam Zimmer

Medical examiners say the death of Cincinnati Bengals analyst Adam Zimmer was caused by chronic alcohol use

Troy Andersen - Seven stops in loss Andersen recorded seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 21-18 loss to New Orleans.
Impact Andersen drew the start over Mykal Walker and notched his most tackles in a game since Week 6, when Walker was sidelined with an injury. If Andersen continues to draw starts, he could emerge as a solid IDP option during the final three games of the regular season.

Rashaan Evans - Solid production in loss Evans recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and one sack during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.
Impact Evans notched his sixth consecutive double-digit tackle performance and recorded his first sack since Week 8. Across his first 14 appearances with Atlanta, the 2018 first-round pick has totaled 145 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble while playing nearly every defensive snap.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Younghoe Koo - Quiet outing in loss Koo connected on his lone field-goal attempt and only point-after try during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.
Impact Koo opened the scoring for the Falcons with a 28-yard field goal in the second quarter. He added an extra point following Tyler Allgeier's five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, but Koo stayed on the sidelines after Cordarrelle Patterson's score in the fourth, as Atlanta opted to go for a two-point conversion to cut New Orleans' lead to three. Across 14 appearances, Koo is 24 of 29 on field-goal attempts, with four of his misses coming from beyond 50 yards.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Olamide Zaccheaus - Held without a catch Zaccheaus didn't record a catch on three targets during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.
Impact Zaccheaus was held without a catch for the first time this season. Atlanta's passing game struggled as a unit with Desmond Ridder making his NFL debut, and Drake London, who finished with seven receptions on 11 targets for 70 yards, dominated the majority of the work through the air. Coming into the contest, Zaccheaus had secured 32 of 44 targets for 478 yards and two touchdowns across 13 appearances, making him worthy of consideration in deeper leagues. However, what little fantasy value Zaccheaus had with Marcus Mariota (knee) may be gone, with Ridder set to start Atlanta's final three regular season games.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
MyCole Pruitt - Snaps two-game touchdown streak Pruitt caught two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.
Impact Pruitt caught at least one pass for a sixth straight game and finished with a season-high 20 receiving yards, but he snapped his two-game touchdown streak. Desmond Ridder failed to move the ball well through the air during his NFL debut, which limited all of Atlanta's pass catchers. Pruitt may have some value in deeper leagues, but he's likely a touchdown-dependent option moving forward.
