Falcons | Bijan Robinson rolls up 143 rushing yards Mon Sep 15, 12:50 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson posted 22 carries for 143 yards in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, while adding three receptions for 25 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons could barely reach the end zone in this one, but a barrage of field goals was more than enough to win 22-6 on "Sunday Night Football." But Robinson was on point. He became the first player since LeSean McCoy in 2013 to produce games of 100-plus rushing yards and 100-plus receiving yards to open a season. Can he have another big game this week? Going up against the Panthers on Sunday, Robinson certainly gets an appealing matchup. |

Falcons | Week 2 injury report for Atlanta Fri Sep 12, 02:21 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Jamal Agnew (groin), S Jordan Fuller (knee) and WR Casey Washington (concussion) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings. OL Jack Nelson (calf) was a limited participant on Friday, Sept. 12, but has also been ruled out. DE James Pearce Jr. (groin) and S DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) were limited participants on Friday and are listed as questionable. DB Billy Bowman Jr. (shoulder) was a full participant and is listed as questionable. DE Leonard Floyd (rest) and DL David Onyemata (rest) did not practice on Friday but no longer appear on the injury report. OT Jake Matthews (rest) was a limited participant but is expected to play. WRs Darnell Mooney (shoulder) and WR Drake London (shoulder) were full participants and have also been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Mooney and London being off of the injury report is all the clearance you need to start them where you normally would. The Vikings are not an easy defense to pass against, but Michael Penix Jr. should have more success than Caleb Williams did in Week 1. |

Falcons | Limited practice for Drake London Wed Sep 10, 06:02 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 10.
| Footballguys view: Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said he expected London to play in Week 2 against the Vikings. He's limited on Wednesday, but we have to circle back to see what his status is on Friday. It's early, but it seems like London is going to be out there. With the injury concern, London should be considered a WR2/flex option in Week 2. |
Falcons | Darnell Mooney limited Wednesday Wed Sep 10, 06:00 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 10.
| Footballguys view: Mooney was limited all last week and didn't play in Week 1. Let's see what his status is later in the week. Getting Mooney out there would give another downfield target for QB Michael Penix. |

Falcons | Atlanta Adds Competition For Younghoe Koo Tue Sep 9, 03:11 PM
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday that the team would look for a kicker to compete with Younghoe Koo, and they have found that kicker. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the team will sign Parker Romo to their practice squad after a Tuesday morning workout.
| Footballguys view: Romo was 11-of-12 on field goals and 7-of-8 on extra points in four games with the Vikings last year. He spent time with the Patriots this offseason. Koo is in his seventh season in Atlanta, and he was a reliable kicker for the first five of those years. He missed nine of his 34 field goal attempts last season, however, and Sunday's miss came after he caromed another kick off the upright before it went through. The team will presumably use the practice week to determine whether Koo or Romo does the kicking against the Vikings on Sunday night. |

Link to story Falcons | Drake London Reportedly Day-To-Day With Shoulder Sprain Sun Sep 7, 07:50 PM
Falcons WR Drake London suffered a shoulder sprain and is considered day-to-day as of now, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: London will have more tests, but it's positive news on Atlanta's star, who was ruled out during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. As previously noted, London finished with eight catches and 55 yards, but drew a whopping 15 targets from Michael Penix Jr. We'll be watching his progress closely as the Falcons prepare to take on the Vikings in Week 2. Remember, the Falcons were without Darnell Mooney, who could return next week after missing the opener with the shoulder injury he suffered last month. Fellow receiver Jamal Agnew left today's game with a groin injury. |

Link to story Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. just misses 300 yards Sun Sep 7, 07:26 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 27-of-42 passes for 298 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while adding six runs for 21 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: Penix had a strong fantasy day as the Falcons running game was stone-walled by the Bucs - who usually have a very strong run defense. Expect more balance against the Vikings next week. Penix added value with his legs and should be added where bench size allows, but Drake London (shoulder) is no sure thing for a tough Week 2 matchup against the Vikings. |
Falcons | A.J. Terrell, Xavier Watts lead the way Sun Sep 7, 07:25 PM

Falcons | Drake London suffers injury Sun Sep 7, 05:24 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 1 game. Head coach Raheem Morris did not have an update on London's status after the game.
| Footballguys view: London got 15 targets, but only turned them into a 8-55 stat line. While that's acceptable in PPR leagues, it is still disappointing, as London and Penix failed on multiple end zone targets. His Week 2 status (and beyond) is unknown and Darnell Mooney also missed Week 1, so the Falcons passing game could be down their top two wideouts in Week 2 against the Vikings, stay tuned. |

Falcons | Darnell Mooney questionable for Week 1 Fri Sep 5, 02:01 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per coach Raheem Morris.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Mooney's shoulder issue is still affecting him, which makes him a riskier play. If he goes up and lands on the shoulder wrong or takes a hit on the shoulder, that could be the end of his afternoon - if he is even active. Expect Ray-Ray McCloud to play a larger role in the passing game on Sunday either way. |
