Fantasy Football Player Notes

Bijan Robinson has slowly become the latest superstar talent to be limited by situation. Watching the production of Christian McCaffrey, De'Von Achane, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs has Robinson owners begging for better usage. After all, Bijan makes highlight reel plays each week, despite only being a decent RB1 for fantasy. Thankfully, the Falcons take on the Buccaneers and Cardinals over their next two weeks. Bijan played the Bucs back in Week 1, where he had six receptions for 100 yards and a score. Over the last five weeks, the Bucs have allowed the second-most receiving yards and the most receiving TDs to opposing RBs. Add in his roughly 20 carries, and we have a recipe for a big fantasy week from the third-year back.

Have we seen a turning point for Kyle Pitts? With back-to-back top-seven finishes at the position for the first time in his career, the Falcons are starting to use him differently. Either the team has decided to change his role, or this is a direct result of Drake London missing time. This week, London is already ruled out, setting up Pitts for another decent game. The Falcons take on the Bucs in a divisional showdown this Thursday. Over the last five weeks, the Bucs have been hovering around league average in fantasy points allowed to the TE. That said, we know that the Bucs' secondary can be exploited, and Pitts' receiver traits may be able to take advantage of the matchup. Keep riding high off of his 82 and 90-yard games this week.

Since Week 12, without Drake London, Darnell Mooney has only once finished higher than WR69 in weekly scoring. In those three games, Mooney has had a 14% target share with 35 receiving yards per game, 1.40 yards per route run, and a 19.6% first-read share. Since Week 12, he has had three red zone targets and two deep targets. It's been surprising how much he has struggled to command a high market share in the Atlanta passing offense with only Kyle Pitts to deal with weekly. He's a decent flex play this week with a good matchup. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the 13th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
