Damiere Byrd - Plays 19 offensive snaps in debut Byrd didn't record a catch on two targets during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

Impact With Drake London (groin) sidelined, Byrd was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this year and made his season debut. Both of Byrd's targets were deep shots and one was intercepted. Across 14 appearances last year, Byrd caught 13 of 23 targets for 268 yards (20.6 YPC) and two scores. He'll have a chance to replicate those occasional big-play numbers if London and Mack Hollins (ankle) are sidelined moving forward, but Byrd doesn't need to be on fantasy radars in standard leagues.

KhaDarel Hodge - Catches three passes in loss Hodge caught three of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

Impact With Drake London (groin) sidelined and Mack Hollins (ankle) leaving the contest early, Hodge played the most offensive snaps (46) among Atlanta's wideouts. He also paced the group in receiving yards, though tight end Jonnu Smith led the team in receptions and receiving yards. After a quiet start to the season (five receptions on six targets for 64 yards across the first seven games), Hodge has secured six of nine targets for 135 yards over the last two weeks. While that's not prolific production, Hodge has clearly seen an uptick in usage and production since London got hurt. As long as London and Hollins remain out, Hodge should be on fantasy radars.

NFL Week 9 highlights: Bengals, Eagles, Chiefs, Packers, Vikings win

Week 9 of the NFL season continued Sunday with a full slate of matchups, and we've got you covered with all the action.

NFL Week 9 highlights: Bengals, Eagles, Chiefs, Packers, Vikings win

Kyle Pitts - Racks up 56 receiving yards Pitts recorded four receptions on five targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Pitts' modest stat line was still good enough for his second-best yardage total of the season, while also marking only the second time he's topped 50 receiving yards for the campaign. His most notable gain came on a 27-yard came early in the fourth quarter on a catch deep down the left sideline. The other potential positive was that this was Taylor Heinicke's first full game, perhaps a sign that improved production could be on the way for Pitts.

Tyler Allgeier - Regains role in backfield Allgeier rushed the ball 12 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings. He added two catches for negative nine yards.

Impact Allgeier saw 14 touches as compared to 13 for Bijan Robinson. That was dictated in part by a Robinson fumble that pushed him to the bench for two possessions, but the split in workload would have been close regardless. Allgeier was significantly less efficient on the ground, but he ended up with a five-yard touchdown rush late in the fourth that appeared to clinch the win for Atlanta. Though his workload fluctuates from week to week, he maintains a significant role in the offense.

Falcons WR Drake London ruled out for Sunday's game vs. Vikings with groin injury

Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London won’t play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings because of a groin injury

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drake London - Won't play against Vikings London (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact London was unable to practice throughout the week after hurting his groin in the 28-23 Week 8 loss to Tennessee. With London out, new starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke will have Van Jefferson and Mack Hollins as his top two wide receivers, with tight end Kyle Pitts possibly set for a larger role in the passing game as well. London's next chance to play will come in Week 10 against the Cardinals.
