INJURIES

Ray-Ray McCloud - Season-low three targets in loss McCloud caught two of three targets for 17 yards and rushed once for 20 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned one kickoff for 28 yards.
Impact McCloud played 95 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps but finished with season lows in targets, receptions and receiving yards. However, he somewhat salvaged the night with a 20-yard run. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has gotten McCloud involved in the running game in back-to-back games, and the wideout appears to have solidified himself as the clear No. 3 option behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney. However, Kirk Cousins has averaged only 19 completions and 209 passing yards per game thus far, so there isn't much to go around until Atlanta's offense starts clicking on all cylinders.

Tyler Allgeier - Limited work again Allgeier rushed seven times for 32 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Allgeier was on the field for only 13 offensive snaps. He's played around 20 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps through three weeks, but when he's out there, the backup RB is heavily involved, recording 19 touches on 35 snaps. Allgeier boasts a solid 5.6 yards per carry thus far, showing signs of his rookie campaign in 2022 when he rushed for 1,035 yards and averaged 4.9 yards per carry. Last year, Allgeier averaged only 3.7 yards per carry. Regardless, Bijan Robinson remains the star of the Falcons' backfield, leaving Allgeier as merely an insurance policy in fantasy.

Kaleb McGary - Set for MRI McGary, who exited Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs early, is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact McGary will undergo an MRI to verify the diagnosis and also receive a timeframe for his recovery. While he is out of action, the Falcons will be without their starting right tackle, and would likely turn to Storm Norton to handle those duties. However, depending on the severity of the sprain, McGary could still suit up this Sunday against the Saints.

Miscues and late stops by the Chiefs lead to another Falcons loss

The Atlanta Falcons had plenty of opportunities to beat Kansas City but miscues and trouble converting on third down helped the Chiefs hold on for a narrow 22-17 victory
SEPTEMBER 23 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Darnell Mooney - Stays hot with eight receptions Mooney hauled in all eight of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to Kansas CIty.
Impact Mooney kept his momentum rolling following last week's 3-88-1 receiving line with a flawless receiving performance in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The newly-signed Falcon brought his season numbers up to 12-169-1 through three weeks, making him a definite deep-league option while likely enticing managers in shallower formats currently viewing Mooney on the waiver wire. Another strong fantasy game from the former Chicago wideout against the Saints on Sunday would likely generate even more fantasy buzz as we inch towards the quarter-point of the season.
SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Pitts - Makes most of two receptions Pitts brought in two of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Pitts did most of his damage on a 50-yard reception that did not result in a touchdown in Sunday's narrow loss. The 2021 first-round pick has produced 105 yards and one touchdown off of eight receptions through three weeks. Better days should be ahead for the athletic tight end now that a proven arm like Kirk Cousins is delivering him the football compared to recent signal-callers. That said, Pitts' production to-date will result in a mid-level rating heading into another tough defensive matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Drake London - Scores second TD in loss London finished with six receptions (nine targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact London joined Bijan Robinson as the pair of young Falcons to cash in on scoring plays in a one-score loss to last year's champs. The No. 1 wideout led Atlanta in targets and yardage while grabbing the only touchdown thrown by Kirk Cousins on Sunday. London has seen his production steadily increase in each week to begin the 2024 campaign, highlighting a potential breakout against a divisional matchup when the Falcons host the Saints on Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Bijan Robinson - Scores lone rushing TD in loss Robinson rushed 16 times for 31 yards and a touchdown while adding 21 yards on two receptions (two targets) in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Robinson was finally stymied in his third game as a sophomore, failing to break the century mark in total yards since Week 17 of his rookie season. The former Texas Longhorn did provide fantasy managers with his first touchdown of the campaign, helping offset what would have been a negative report from Sunday's loss. Robinson remains the lead back in Atlanta heading into a pivotal NFC South matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Kirk Cousins - Decent output in tough matchup Cousins completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 230 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Cousins performed adequately against the reigning Super Bowl champs on Sunday, completing over two-thirds of his pass attempts for a touchdown against a tough defense. That said, the final fantasy score left much to be desired from hopeful managers following a late interception in the first half of the loss. Cousins has yet to surpass the 300-yard mark in any of his first three starts in Atlanta after accomplishing the same feat three times in three tries last season with Minnesota. The veteran starter remains a viable option against another tough defense (New Orleans) in Week 4.
