INJURIES

Younghoe Koo - Misses 50-yard attempt in loss Koo converted one of two field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries during Sunday's 20-17 loss against the Chargers.
Impact Koo gave the Falcons a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter with a 29-yard field goal and went on to make both of his extra-point tries before missing a 50-yard attempt wide right at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Through nine games, the kicker has missed just three kicks, all three of which were beyond 40 yards -- including two from 50-plus. Koo remains one of the more consistent kickers in the league, but his overall fantasy production has been limited by Atlanta's offense, which has scored fewer than 20 points in three of the past five weeks.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Damiere Byrd - Fails to secure only target Byrd failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Byrd played 29 offensive snaps, which was third most among Atlanta's wideouts behind Drake London (46) and Olamide Zaccheaus (43). However, Byrd, who'd caught four of seven passes for 142 yards and two scores over his past two appearances, was held in check against the Chargers. The veteran has emerged as a big-play wideout for Marcus Mariota recently, but Byrd's production will likely be sporadic moving forward.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
MyCole Pruitt - Records second reception of season Pruitt caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss versus the Chargers.
Impact Pruitt has played at least 11 offensive snaps in each of the past five games, but he's seen just two targets, catching both for eight yards. Atlanta's passing attack remains limited, so despite Pruitt's consistent role in the Falcons offense, he doesn't have much fantasy value moving forward.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Olamide Zaccheaus - Two receptions in loss Zaccheaus hauled in both of his two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss against the Chargers.
Impact Zaccheaus has caught multiple passes in eight of nine games this season, totaling 22 receptions for 331 yards and two scores. He's quietly emerged as Marcus Mariota's most reliable pass catcher, but his overall fantasy potential remains limited due to Atlanta's struggling passing attack. Zaccheaus will look to continue his consistent play against the Panthers on Thursday.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
KhaDarel Hodge - Logs one reception in loss Hodge caught one of two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat versus the Chargers.
Impact Hodge has solidified himself as the No. 4 wideout behind Drake London, Olamide Zaccheaus and Damiere Byrd, but Atlanta's passing attack isn't prolific enough to have multiple fantasy-relevant pass catchers. Across nine appearances, the veteran wideout has caught nine of 14 targets for 147 yards, though all of his receiving yards have come in four games (Weeks 1, 2, 5 and 9).
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Avery Williams - Secures only target in loss Williams had zero rushing attempts but reeled in his only target for two yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss versus the Chargers.
Impact With Cordarrelle Patterson back from IR, Williams saw his role reduced even more, garnering just three offensive snaps. When he's in the game, the converted defensive back is a pass-catching threat, but as long as Patterson, Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley are healthy, Williams' fantasy potential is severely limited.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Huntley - Modest production in loss Huntley rushed seven times for 34 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat versus the Chargers.
Impact Huntley fell to third on the depth chart with Cordarrelle Patterson returning from IR, but the former still saw seven touches across 13 offensive snaps and ran the ball at an efficient clip, which he's consistently done when given an opportunity this season. Patterson and Tyler Allgeier figure to continue splitting the majority of the work as long as they are healthy, so Huntley, despite solid production, shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a secondary handcuff option at this point.

NFL Week 9: Top trending, viral moments from Chiefs-Titans, more
Drake London - Key fumble in loss London brought in three of seven targets for 23 yards and lost a fumble in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact London once again put up modest numbers, but his day was all the more forgettable thanks to the rookie allowing Khalil Mack to strip the ball from him after a five-yard reception at the Chargers' six-yard line early in the third quarter. London has now failed to top 40 receiving yards in six consecutive games, an unfavorable streak he'll aim to snap in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Pitts - Pair of grabs in loss Pitts secured two of seven targets for 27 yards in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact Pitts paced the Falcons in receiving yards and tied with Drake London for the lead in targets, but the sparseness of the former tally is a testament to how underwhelming a day it was for Atlanta's air attack overall. The athletic tight end is a victim of head coach Arthur Smith's decision to keep Marcus Mariota in a very strict game-manager role, so expectations should be tempered despite what would seem to be a mostly favorable matchup against the Panthers in a Week 10 Thursday night clash.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Allgeier - Most productive back in loss Allgeier rushed 10 times for 99 yards and brought in his only target for 24 yards in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact Despite Cordarrelle Patterson returning from his four-game stint on IR due to a knee injury, it was Allgeier who easily paced the Falcons in rushing yards on the afternoon. The rookie did log three fewer carries than his veteran backfield mate, but Allgeier's explosiveness was evident on his game-long 44-yard run and 24-yard reception. It will be interesting to see if Patterson is afforded even more work at Allgeier's expense in Week 10 with a short week ahead of a divisional road matchup against the Panthers.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Mariota - Quiet performance in loss Mariota completed 12 of 23 passes for 129 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 24 yards.
Impact Mariota put up a typically modest performance through the air and couldn't put together a productive rushing effort. The veteran signal-caller couldn't do much after a successful first two drives that netted 145 yards and 10 points, with Atlanta's next four possessions resulting in three punts and a fumble. Mariota was able to helm one more scoring march in the third quarter that culminated in a Cordarrelle Patterson three-yard touchdown rush, but he ultimately finished with his third sub-130-yard tally through the air in the last four games. Mariota will aim for much better production across the board in a Week 10 road matchup versus the Panthers on Thursday night.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Two scores in return from IR Patterson rushed 13 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns and secured his only target for nine yards in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact Head coach Arthur Smith mostly held true to his word of easing Patterson back into the fold after a four-game stint on IR, but the versatile veteran still paced the Falcons in carries. Patterson scored from one and three yards out in the first and third quarter, respectively, and he could be in line for a larger workload in a Week 10 divisional road matchup against the Panthers on Thursday night.

Dicker kicks winner to lift Chargers over Falcons 20-17

Cameron Dicker kicked a game-ending field goal three days after being signed as a free agent, hitting a 37-yarder that lifted the Los Angeles Chargers over the Atlanta Falcons 20-1...

Matt Hennessy - Questionable to return Sunday Hennessy is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers with a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hennessy sustained an apparent knee injury during Sunday's contest versus the Chargers and has since been labeled questionable to return. Ryan Neuzil is in line to replace the 24-year-old at left guard for the time being.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Feleipe Franks - Won't return Sunday Franks has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a calf injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Franks suffered a calf injury during the first half of Sunday's contest versus the Chargers and won't return for the remainder of the game as a result. Fellow tight ends Kyle Pitts, Parker Hesse and MyCole Pruitt are slated to handle most of the tight end reps for the rest of the afternoon.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Likely to be eased in Patterson (knee), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, is expected to be eased back in with a more limited workload than usual in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mi...
Impact Patterson missed the minimum four games while on IR after he underwent a left knee cleanup procedure in early October, but the Falcons aren't eager to have him take on his normal workload in his return to action with only three practices under his belt beforehand. Garafolo notes that the fact that the Falcons travel to Carolina for a Thursday night game in Week 10 is a factor in the team's intentions of limiting Patterson, who could find himself part of a three-man backfield committee with Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley. With that in mind, none of the three would appear to be high-percentage fantasy plays for Week 9.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bryan Edwards - Not playing Sunday Edwards (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chargers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Edwards was also a healthy scratch in Week 3 and 4. He'll work to earn the opportunity to suit up Thursday against the Panthers.
