Fantasy Football Player Notes
2020 Rest of Season Rankings
|
18.
Calvin Ridley
WR - (at TB)
Ridley's start to the season is almost comical at this point, with 239 yards receiving and four touchdowns. He might be the best receiver to roster in Atlanta, but even if he's not, he's a locked in WR1 going forward.

Julio Jones
WR - (at TB)

31.
Todd Gurley II
RB - (at TB)
He keeps falling into the end zone, which is what's holding up his fantasy stock, but his inefficiency cannot be ignored. Neither can his schedule, which ranks as the third-toughest in the NFL over the remainder of the season, including another game against the Saints and one against the Bucs, two teams you really don't want to start running backs against.

95.
Hayden Hurst
TE - (at TB)
Hurst rarely played even half the snaps with Baltimore, but he was sixth in yards per target last year and was PFF's eighth-highest graded tight end. Dirk Koetter's offense likes to target the tight end, as Austin Hooper saw 60 targets through eight games last year and Tony Gonzalez saw 118 targets per season under Koetter. Add in that Hurst is likely to run routes out of the slot this year and Hurst's first year with the Falcons should be a big one.

103.
Matt Ryan
QB - (at TB)
Ryan was having an outstanding season before he suffered an ankle injury. Even with his second-half decline, he led the league in pass completions and was fifth in passing yards. He's now got a better offensive line, another year of development from Calvin Ridley, and Todd Gurley as his running back. Even at his advanced age, if he bounces back at all from his 7.3 YPA and 4.2% touchdown rate last year, then in Dirk Koetter's system he could have a monstrous year.
