32 Teams in 32 weekdays-ATL

Atlanta Falcons

2017 Record: 10-6. Lost in division round 15-10 to eventual Super Bowl Champion Eagles

Matty Ice got paid, and skill positions are still there for Atlanta, with Julio Jones, being on almost anyone's top ten players list for fantasy, and a top 3 WR. Mohamed Sanu is a very solid WR2, and rookie Calvin Ridley will be an upgrade I believe.

As for the ground game, both Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman remain a must own 1-2 punch in fantasy football. Freeman being a top 10 running back in almost every format. Matt Ryan is going to put up numbers and is someone that you don't have to spend a high pick (like not in the first 10 rounds) on.

Will there defense be able to stop anyone? The Falcons ranked 21st in total fantasy points scored by a defense last year, and with Julio and Matty Ice a year older, the defense at some point may have to carry up there end of the bargain if the Falcons want another 10+ win season. Matt Bryant will continue to do the kicking for Atlanta and should do a fine job of it, so nothing to worry about there.

One thing I would be worried about if I was a Falcon fan is Offensive Coordinator Steve pass me the bottle Sarkisian. Sark is a great offensive mind but has made the rounds the last few years. You would hope that Coach Queen would have everything under control so that this becomes a non issue, but it is something that could potentially cause problems in the Falcons system, which of course is win a lot of games when it doesn't matter and then lose in the post season.

2018 Prediction: 9-7
Offense is still solid and they win enough games to make the playoffs, but a tough schedule and a very competitive division keeps them from having another 10 win campaign.

Week 1 Preview

 We are back!! football baby, and what a opening weekend, four days of NFL games with some big college games in the middle. And we are back with our predictions, we slacked off last year and in the off season but have worked out a new scheduling agreement and the preview for each week will be posted by Thursday each week. So, without any further ado, let's get to it. The Commish vs. Santono By team name, Santino is already throwing in the towel, but as his character in Radio said, "Don't Quit, Don't Quit, Don't Quit!" Both have a player going tonight, though Greg should have a good lead considering Bambino has Xavier Worthy while Greg has Country Roads Take Mahomes. Tomorrow night, Santino has Mr. Redd going, while the boss has Watson and AJ Brown, so Greg will have a nice lead going into Sunday's games and that lead will remain. Santino starting the cowboy defense alone is enough for me not to pick him, but then again, he does have the greatest and best Q...

Week 5 Preview

 A 2-3 week last week has left the writing staff with a 11-9 record on the season, need to do better. Our first week that byes come into play, so let's get right to it.  Bambino 1-3 Vs Derek 0-4 Can Derek finally get a win, he has a 70% chance as of now from the best fantasy site in the world. Of course, that may have to do with Santino still having two guys on byes in his lineup. Both have players going tonight with Evans and Pitts, I think Derek takes a lead and he does not give it up. He finally gets his first win, 120-110. Hootie world tour 2-2 Vs. our Fearless leader 0-4 Speaking of guys trying to get there first win, our Commish is winless, and guess what, he stays that way. None have anyone going tonight and Hootie does have to worry about Nabers and his concussion if he will play, but as sad as it is to say, G-Money's team is not good, maybe fantasy has passed him by, he is like our Jerry Jones. Hootie wins 120-100. Back2Back Emmy's 2-2 vs. Former Dean 4-0 On the ot...

Week 3 Preview

 A little better week last week, as we went 3-2 in our picks, bringing our season record to 5-5. Not terrible, but you would like to do better than 500. Week 3, let's get right to it.  The Hootie World Tour 0-2 vs. Santino 1-1 Well maybe Bambino knew what he was talking about with his team's name, as we went from scoring 179 points in week 1 to 85 in week 2. In week 3 he gets a team 0-2 that really needs a win and is projected to get one. Neither team has a player going tonight, though both have QBs going on Monday night, but not against each other, as there are two Monday night games this week. Nabers showed he will be the main focus on the Giants offense as he had 18 targets for the game last week at THE WASHINGTONS, catching 10 for over 120 yards and a score, and at Cleveland should be tarted close to as much. Burrow needs a bounce back game and Cinci needs a win as they this week host THE WASHINGTONS, and I expect a big week from him. Santino does have the greatest QB of a...
