Back to reality for the Saints after another close loss, this one to the Falcons

The first two weeks of the season, the New Orleans Saints looked unbeatable

SEPTEMBER 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Blanked against New Orleans Pitts failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

Impact It was another poor showing for the tight end, who has managed just a 5-79-0 line on 12 targets over the last three games. Pitts' struggles have mirrored those of Kirk Cousins, who has yet to have a breakout performance for his new club. Even if the veteran QB does begin to put up better numbers though, he seems to have a better rapport with wideouts like Darnell Mooney than he does with Pitts. The fourth overall pick in the 2021 Draft will try to shake off his malaise in Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

Six grabs in win over Saints London caught six of 12 targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over New Orleans.

Impact The third-year wideout saw a season high in targets, but it didn't translate into increased production as London caught exactly six passes for the third straight game, and he's hauled in between 54 and 67 yards in all three. New Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins still seems to be adjusting to his new scheme, which has limited London's upside. The duo may need to develop better chemistry quickly ahead of a Week 5 clash with the Buccaneers.

Leading rusher in Week 4 win Allgeier carried the ball eight times for 60 yards and caught both his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

Impact Despite the modest volume, Allgeier actually led the Falcons' backfield in both carries and rushing yards, topping Bijan Robinson's lackluster seven totes for 28 yards. Allgeier still hasn't seen more than 10 touches in a game this season, and despite the relatively even division of the workload Sunday, he isn't going to suddenly challenge Robinson for the top spot on the depth chart. However, both backs could be productive in Week 5 against a Buccaneers defense that has struggled against the run so far in 2024.

Takes back seat against Saints Robinson carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and caught all four of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over New Orleans.

Impact The 11 touches were a season low for Robinson, and Tyler Allgeier actually led the Falcons' backfield with eight totes for 60 yards. Robinson's contributions as a pass-catcher have kept his floor afloat in PPR formats, but the eighth overall pick in the 2023 Draft has now posted lackluster yardage totals in two straight games as the Atlanta offense as a whole has had trouble moving the ball. He could bounce back in Week 5 against a Buccaneers defense that's had trouble against the run so far in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check in win Cousins completed 21 of 35 passes for 238 yards and an interception in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

Impact The veteran quarterback failed to throw a TD pass for the first time in four games as a member of the Falcons, but instead Atlanta got its offense on a fumble recovery score on special teams, a pick-six by the defense, and four Younghoe Koo field goals, including a 58-yard game-winner with two seconds left on the clock. Cousins has yet to break out for Atlanta, posting a 4:4 TD:INT so far and failing to reach 250 passing yards in a game, but he may need to step up his production in Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

Exits game with knee injury Andersen is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a knee injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Andersen had 17 tackles (10 solo) and a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown before leaving in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. JD Bertrand will see more snaps down the stretch at inside linebacker alongside starter Kaden Elliss while Andersen is sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Sunday McClellan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact McClellan has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut. Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams continue to lead the Falcons' backfield.

Won't play vs. New Orleans McGary (knee) was limited during Friday's practice but has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact McGary suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. He started the week with back-to-back DNPs, and despite participating in a limited capacity during Friday's contest, his knee injury is too severe to suit up Sunday. McGary's next chance at playing will be on a short week against the Buccaneers on Oct. 3. Storm Norton figures to start at right tackle for the Falcons in McGary's absence.

SEPTEMBER 27 • DATA SKRIVE

Cleared to face New Orleans Robinson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact The Falcons added Robinson to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but it's apparently not a significant concern after he logged a full practice Friday and avoided a game designation. He should be fine to handle his usual heavy workload in Atlanta's first divisional game of the year, facing a Saints defense that won't have star linebacker Demario Davis (hamstring).

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Week 4 Judon (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play.

Impact Judon was limited in practice early in the week but is good to go for a big divisional tilt. The 32-year-old has logged 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three QB hits in his first three games with the Falcons following his summer acquisition from New England.

Added to injury report Judon (hamstring) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Impact Judon was a full participant Wednesday, so he may have suffered the injury during practice. Although the late addition to the injury report isn't the best news, he'll have a chance to ramp up his activity Friday and still has a couple of days to heal up ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints.
