Avery Williams - Limited role in loss Williams rushed four times for 25 yards in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Williams played on just nine of the Falcons' 63 offensive snaps as the team's No. 4 running back. The second-year rusher has fallen down the depth chart with the return of Cordarrelle Patterson in the past two games. Williams instead saw most of his work on special teams, playing 90% of special teams snaps in the contest. With Patterson, Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley all healthy, the 24-year-old will be hard-pressed to produce for fantasy purposes going forward. Williams and the Falcons will host the Bears in Week 11.

NFL odds Week 10: Tom Brady perfect abroad, plus best betting trends

KhaDarel Hodge - Hits pay dirt in loss Hodge secured both of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Hodge's 25-yard touchdown grab came with just under three minutes left in the game, bringing the Falcons within one score of the Panthers. The wideout's touchdown was his first of the season, and he now has 11 catches for 184 yards over the first 10 games. As Atlanta's No. 4 receiver, Hodge played just eight of the team's 63 offensive snaps. His efficiency Thursday is not sustainable, so the veteran's limited opportunities make him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. Hodge and the Falcons will host the Bears in Week 11.

Damiere Byrd - Leads Atlanta in receiving Byrd secured three of four targets for 58 yards in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Byrd's modest production Thursday was a bounce-back performance after going catchless in Week 9. With that said, the veteran wideout has totaled just seven grabs for 200 yards and two touchdowns through seven games played. As the Falcons' No. 3 wideout in a struggling passing attack, Byrd is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 29-year-old will look to take a step forward when the Falcons host the Bears in Week 11.

Mariota's play only 1 of many problems for slumping Falcons

Olamide Zaccheaus - Modest production in loss. Zaccheaus caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Zaccheaus hauled in just two catches for the second-straight game as his mostly underwhelming season continued Thursday. As long as Marcus Mariota and the Falcons' passing attack continue to struggle, it'll be difficult for the veteran wideout to reach consistent and fantasy-relevant production from week to week. Zaccheaus is not an option worth trusting in lineups when the Falcons host the Bears in Week 11.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Huntley - Limited role in loss Huntley rushed five times for 32 yards in Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Huntley played just nine offensive snaps in the contest, operating as the Falcons' third string running back. The return of Cordarrelle Patterson has put a cap on Huntley's fantasy potential with fewer opportunities to go around. Interestingly, it was rookie Tyler Allgeier who entered the game as the No. 2 back, but his eight carries led the team. With that said, all three backs struggled to get much going on the ground Thursday. Barring an injury to either Patterson or Allgeier, Huntley should remain off the fantasy radar when the Falcons host the Bears in Week 11.

Casey Hayward - Makes trip to Charlotte Hayward (shoulder) traveled with the team for their Thursday night matchup in Carolina, though he was spotted wearing a sling, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The fact that Hayward traveled with the Falcons for their road matchup against Carolina on Thursday suggests that he's made progress in his recovery from the shoulder injury he sustained back in Week 6 versus the 49ers. While the veteran cornerback along with A.J. Terell (hamstring) continue nursing injuries of their own, Darren Hall, Rashad Fenton and Isaiah Oliver are slated for added reps throughout the team's secondary.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Younghoe Koo - Misses both PAT tries Thursday Koo made his only field-goal attempt but missed both of his extra-point tries during Thursday's 25-15 loss to the Panthers.

Impact It wasn't a night to remember by any means for Koo, who missed both of his extra-point attempts during Thursday's contest in Carolina. However, the 28-year-old kicker knocked down his lone field-goal try from 33 yards out, just four days after he failed to sink a 50-yarder. Given that the Falcons played on Thursday, Koo now gets some extra time off to prepare for the team's Week 11 matchup versus Chicago.

Tyler Allgeier - Eight carries in loss Allgeier rushed eight times for 20 yards and netted minus-17 receiving yards while bringing in all three of his targets during the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday n...

Impact The rookie led the Falcons backfield in carries on the night, but he was nowhere near as efficient as he'd been in a Week 9 loss to the Chargers (10-99). Allgeier's negative receiving yardage ultimately made a lackluster fantasy night even more forgettable, and the fact head coach Arthur Smith spread the workload on the ground among four backs overall Thursday night muddles the fantasy picture for Atlanta's backfield even further.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Pitts - Inefficient again in loss Pitts secured two of eight targets for 28 yards in the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night.

Impact Pitts led the team in targets for the second time in four days, but he once again was limited to just two receptions. Pitts now has an encouraging 21 targets over the last three games overall, yet his 9-135-1 line in that span is underwhelming to a degree. Pitts' upside is likely to remain capped while Marcus Mariota is under center and restricted to a game-manager role, but the 2021 first-round pick will aim for a boost in production and better efficiency against the vulnerable Bears defense in a Week 11 home matchup a week from Sunday.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Posts 20 total yards in loss Patterson rushed five times for 18 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night. He also returned three kickoffs...

Impact The Falcons went with a deep timeshare in the backfield Thursday night, as Patterson was one of four running backs to log carries. The versatile veteran tied for second in that category with Caleb Huntley, and he was minimally involved in the passing attack. Patterson's carry total was a season low, as were his rushing and receiving yardage tallies. With extra time off before a Week 11 home matchup against the Bears a week from Sunday, Patterson should have ample time to rest after playing two games in four days following his return from an IR stint due to a knee injury.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drake London - Finds end zone in loss London brought in five of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie found the end zone for the first time since Week 3 on a tough seven-yard grab between two defenders just past the midway point of the third quarter. London still couldn't clear the 40-yard mark, however, making it four consecutive games for the first-round selection under that modest threshold. London's upside is likely to be capped as long as Marcus Mariota remains in a starting role, but he'll hope to boost his numbers in a Week 11 matchup at home a week from Sunday against the inconsistent Bears defense.

Marcus Mariota - Solid numbers in Week 10 loss Mariota completed 19 of 30 passes for 186 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed three times for 43 yards during the Falcons' 25-15 loss to the Panthers on Thurs...

Impact Mariota's final numbers were solid overall, although he was under constant duress and was brought down five times. The veteran signal-caller connected with Drake London and KhaDarel Hodge on touchdowns of seven and 25 yards, respectively, but he took two of his sacks on the Falcons' last multi-play drive, snuffing out any hope of a comeback. Mariota's passing yardage total was actually his second highest since Week 3, yet he's now been under 200 yards through the air in six of his last seven games. Mariota and the Falcons return home to take on the Bears in a Week 11 matchup a week from Sunday.
