Game Recaps


The Green Bay Packers D/ST managed an early interception before going quiet on the box score for the rest of the game in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: The Packers pulled off a pick four plays into the game, but didn't put anything else on the stat sheet afterwards. It was a dominant outing by the Falcons offense, with the Packers defense unable to stop Drake London or the ground game led by Bijan and Brian Robinson, who collectively averaged 5.9 yards per carry on the night. They'll look to be better next time out.


Trey Smack hit both of his PATs in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Smack hit both of his chances, but the Packers either couldn't get into field goal range, or decided to go for it on fourth down when they did. Better days will come for the kicker, and the Green Bay offense can still put up points on any given week. Their run game is stifling them at the moment, so if they figure that out, the points will come.


Skyy Moore caught three of seven targets for 31 yards in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Moore found himself in a decent-sized role on the Packers' offense, though while seven targets sound nice, it was truly just a 13.7% target share, not counting throwaways. Still, with Jayden Reed out, he could be an interesting PPR option for those in deep leagues. Just don't spend too much FAAB or bust a waiver priority to get him.


MarShawn Lloyd ran four times for 11 yards and caught two of three targets for seven yards in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Lloyd wasn't all that impressive in this game, but he was better than Kaleb Johnson this time out. The backfield is a mess right now with Josh Jacobs out, and everyone is struggling to run. Expect both Lloyd and Johnson to be irrelevant for fantasy moe often than not.


Kaleb Johnson ran four times for six yards and caught one of three targets for 10 yards in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson had just as many carries as Marshawn Lloyd, but half the yards. He's not doing enough at this point to warrant taking over the backfield, so expect a split to continue.


Tucker Kraft caught four of eight targets for 26 yards in the Packers' 35-14 loss to Atlanta on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Kraft could have had a slightly bigger day had he held onto the football in what ended up being ruled a drop. The defensive back made a fantastic punch at the ball right as Kraft was corralling it into his chest, forcing a dropped pass. Kraft is still worth starting, and with that eight-target total, he has now beaten his season high in targets (previously six). The volume is there; the results just haven't quite followed yet.


Matthew Golden caught 5 of 12 targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Golden had several passes intended for him tipped by defensive backs after being undethrown, and another target where the DB committed a pass interference penalty. So, the five catches on 12 targets may not seem great; there is still context to be had. He is startable each week for the Packers.


Christian Watson caught 7 of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: It might not have been in a win, but fantasy managers won't care. Watson has been a clear favorite target for Jordan Love, especially down in the red zone, with Tucker Kraft still working his way back to full health. He should be in your lineup whenever he is playing.


Jordan Love completed 28 of 53 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and a pick in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons. He also ran once for no gain.

Fantasy Impact: Love was a bit up and down in this game. He was struggling against the pressure Atlanta was bringing, missing several forced throws and causing tipped passes. The Green Bay offense has no run game, which has worked out decently well for the pass catchers, but until they get things going on the ground to make the defense respect the run, it will be hard for the receivers and Love to have a ceiling week in, week out.


Austin Hooper caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a score in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact: Hooper had a touchdown grab early on in the game and didn't make much noise after that. He should be off fantasy radars as of right now.


Nick Folk hit both of his field goal attempts and all three of his PATs in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Folk was great in this one, knocking down field goals when the offense stalled and nailing the PATs when they didn't. If they continue to play like this, Folk could be an add for those who might start dealing with bye weeks.


The Atlanta Falcons D/ST had themselves a nice defensive showing in a game they won 35-14, getting a sack and an interception along the way.

Fantasy Impact: While they didn't get many turnovers or sacks, they simply made it tough for the Packers to move the balll, forcing many punts throughout the night. The Packers still found paydirt with Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, but it was not nearly enough to turn things around. The Falcons will try to limit the Saints offense next time out.


Brian Robinson Jr. ran 10 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson played second fiddle to Bijan Robinson, but he still got enough touches and some goal-line work that he was usable for those who started him. He's been splitting work with Bijan to keep the younger back rested, and he won't have outings like this all the time, but he's certainly a handcuff worth rostering.


Kyle Pitts Sr. caught just one of two targets for five yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Pitts took a backseat to Drake London and Bijan Robinson in this game, with Michael Penix heavily favoring London in terms of target share. Pitts was productive last year both with London on and off the field, but Penix has been so fixated on London in his starts that it's tough to trust Pitts. He is a bit of a shaky fantasy start until his workload improves.


Drake London caught 9 of 10 targets for 194 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: London was fantastic in this game, spurred on by the return of Michael Penix. When Penix has been at the helm of the offense, London has been among the best fantasy producers in the game, and it showed once again on Thursday. He should be a locked in starter whenever Penix is playing.


Michael Penix Jr. completed 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards, a touchdown, and a pick in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday. He also lost two yards on two carries.

Fantasy Impact: Penix might not have had the biggest fantasy day, but the Falcons' offense sure felt his return. They hadn't made a trip to the red zone in the previous two games, and they did just that on their second drive of the game. The 35 points more than doubled the Falcons' total offensive output in 2026, and things are now looking up.


Bijan Robinson ran 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson had his way with the Packers' defense, rushing for 6.7 yards per carry. He ripped off a huge 55-yard gain early on in the game, which opened the floodgates for many more big runs throughout the game. The Packers simply could not stop him, and once the ground game got going, QB Michael Penix and WR Drake London were able to carve up the Packers' secondary. With Penix back, the offense has new life, and Bijan stands to benefit greatly from it, even if Brian Robinson Jr. spells him.


Ollie Gordon II rushed the ball three times for seven yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: Gordon didn't play much on Sunday, seeing just three touches in Miami's three-score loss to the 49ers. He hasn't shown much involvement at all over the first two weeks of the season, so fantasy managers shouldn't consider rostering him for the foreseeable future.


Kendrick Bourne caught 2-of-3 targets for just 11 yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact: Bourne came back down to earth in Week 2 after a stellar performance in Arizona's season opener a week before. He only caught two passes for 11 yards on Sunday, but Arizona's offense as a whole struggled in this matchup against Seattle, so there's a good chance that he will bounce back and have relevance as a depth piece in most leagues sometime in the near future.


Travis Etienne Jr. rushed the ball eight times for 25 yards and caught two passes for six yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Baltimore Ravems.

Fantasy Impact: Week 2 exposed some major concerns for Etienne. Not only did he have a bad game as far as efficiency and fantasy output go, but the return of Alvin Kamara is proving to be a big issue for his fantasy value, as the 31-year old saw one more carry and four more targets in his first game back from injury. Unless this distribution of work changes in the near future, it looks like Etienne is going to have a volatile week-to-week ceiling with the presence of Kamara eating into his workload that much.
