Atlanta Falcons 6-10
Welcome to NFC South Week and the Atlanta Falcons 2014 Fantasy Highs and Lows! Each week we will go division by division breaking down each team.
Highs:
Julio Jones was the rare high with the Falcons. After a season on the sidelines with an injury he came back and was dependable as always. While he was a little bit hot and cold he was the 8th highest scoring wide receiver in the league which is certainly worth getting excited about.
Lows:
My low for the Falcons was the complete mis-use of Antone Smith. Antone Smith was electric when he was in the games and was by far and away the most dynamic running back on the team. The frustrating part was the fact that that Falcons would give him less carries than you can count on one hand per game. When you have a running back crew that leave little to be desired why not take a chance on a player that can provide the team a spark. I will never know why they refused to use him in more plays but it was the low of the season for me without any doubt.
The Falcons have made some big changes in the off season, including getting rid of their head coach. They are in the market to attempt to pick up some big players but will be held at bay with most of them due to the price tag for top notch players being outside their reach. It should be en exciting week to see what will come for the Falcons.
