Taylor Heinicke - To start rest of season Coach Arthur Smith announced Wednesday that the Falcons plan to play out the remainder of the 2023 season with Heinicke as the starting quarterback, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com r...
Impact Heinicke is set to start Atlanta's final three regular-season games against the Colts, Bears and Saints, with Desmond Ridder presumably on hand to operate as his backup. In Heinicke's only full game this season, a Week 9 loss to the Vikings, he completed 21 of 38 pass attempts for 268 yards, one touchdown and one interception. For fantasy purposes, Heinicke finds himself as an emergency option in leagues that allow multiple quarterbacks in the lineup, and his presence doesn't move the needle too significantly for skill-position players Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

NFL Week 15 highlights: Ravens, Browns, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Bills win, more
Week 15 of the NFL season continued Sunday with a stacked 11-game slate, and we've got you covered with all the highlights!DECEMBER 18, 2023
Kyle Pitts - Team-high catch total in loss Pitts brought in three of four targets for 37 yards in the Falcons' 9-7 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Pitts' catch total, modest as it was, led the Falcons on the afternoon. The third-year tight end also paced the team in targets, with the low bar across all major receiving categories a reflection of the combination of Desmond Ridder's mediocre play and head coach Arthur Smith's conservative offensive mentality. Pitts had eclipsed 50 yards in back-to-back games for the first time this season in Weeks 13 and 14, but his downturn Sunday is a reminder of how difficult it is to trust any component of the Falcons' air attack during the fantasy playoffs.
