        Michael Penix Back For Week 9

        6:20pm UTC 10/31/25

        Falcons QB Michael Penix (knee) is off the final Week 9 injury report and will start Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. It’s good news for Atlanta’s offense after what we saw from QB Kirk Cousins last week, but Penix is no better than a lower-end QB2 in fantasy lineups.

        Michael Penix On Track For Week 9 Return

        4:03pm UTC 10/29/25

        Falcons HC Raheem Morris said Wednesday that he feels "really good" about QB Michael Penix's chances of playing vs. the Patriots this weekend, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Penix remains "day to day" with the bone bruise in his knee, Morris added. We'll keeps tabs on his practice participation over the next few days. Penix has been inconsistent this season. But, after what we saw from QB Kirk Cousins last week, Penix's return would be good news for Atlanta's offense.

        Darnell Mooney Struggles to Overcome QB Change

        1:54pm UTC 10/27/25

        Entering Week 8, Falcons WR Darnell Mooney appeared positioned for strong volume. The team ruled out WR Drake London, which removed a 31% target share. But strong fantasy numbers never materialized, as Mooney caught only 1 of 4 targets (12.9%) for 11 yards alongside backup QB Kirk Cousins.

        3:27pm UTC 10/26/25

        Falcons WR Drake London (hip) is INACTIVE for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. That leaves WR Darnell Mooney and TE Kyle Pitts as the clear top two targets in the passing game. Atlanta, of course, figures to lean heavily on the run in this one as big home favorites against a bad Miami run defense.

        Darnell Mooney Questionable For Week 7

        6:24pm UTC 10/17/25

        Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but didn’t practice on Friday, which doesn’t bode well for his availability for this one. Mooney should be on fantasy benches this week. WR Ray-Ray McCloud has been ruled out for a personal matter. WR Drake London, TE Kyle Pitts, and RB Bijan Robinson should continue to dominate targets.

        The Falcons have ruled WR Darnell Mooney out for Monday night's game against the Bills because of a hamstring injury. It'll be the first game Mooney has missed since the opener.

        Michael Penix Rebounds In Falcons Win

        11:31pm UTC 9/28/25

        One week after being benched in the fourth quarter of Atlanta's 30-0 Week 3 loss in Carolina, Falcons' QB Michael Penix completed 20-of-26 passes for 313 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT in the team's 34-27 victory over the Washington Commanders.

        Penix's 76.9% completion rate and 313 passing yards set new career-best marks for Penix.

        8:56pm UTC 9/19/25

        Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (toe) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday but returned to a full practice on Friday. It doesn’t look like the toe will be an issue this weekend, making Pitts a low-end TE1 play in a plus matchup.

        Falcons TE Kyle Pitts was added to the injury report and limited in Thursday's practice with a toe. We don't have any other details on his status, but his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers is now in question. We'll see if Pitts is able to practice on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report.

        Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. totaled only 135 yards on 13 of 21 passing in a Week 2 win over the Vikings. Atlanta surprisingly won by 16 – 22 to 6 – as they rode the run game and their defense to a victory.

        Drake London & Darnell Mooney Will Play Week 2

        6:10pm UTC 9/12/25

        Falcons WRs Drake London (shoulder) and Darnell Mooney (shoulder) are off the final Week 2 injury report. Both guys practiced all week, including full workouts on Friday. London carries a bit more risk in Sunday night’s game vs. the Vikings, but he’d be impossible to leave out of fantasy lineups after drawing 15 targets in the opener. We’d try to keep Mooney on fantasy benches in his 2025 debut. The availability of both WRs dings TE Kyle Pitts’ Week 2 outlook.

        Darnell Mooney INACTIVE

        3:34pm UTC 9/7/25

        Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. It’s a minor surprise after he put in three limited practices this week. Mooney doesn’t seem too far from a return, but his absence today leaves Atlanta thin on pass-catchers. Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge, and Casey Washington will play behind alpha Drake London. TE Kyle Pitts could also pick up extra targets with Mooney out.

        Falcons TE Kyle Pitts has been sidelined at OTAs due to a strained muscle in his foot, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. No word on the severity of the injury or a timeline for Pitts' return, but we don't get the feeling that this is a major concern.

        Kyle Pitts Likely to Play Elsewhere in 2026

        9:18am UTC 3/4/25

        Falcons beat writer Josh Kendall left the NFL combine believing TE Kyle Pitts will play elsewhere in 2026. Pitts enters a contract season this fall. Kendall’s belief stems from a lack of production – and the “tone” of recent comments from HC Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot.

        11:48am UTC 1/5/25

        Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. It’s a significant loss. Mooney ranks second among Falcons in targets, catches, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. WR KhaDarel Hodge figures to pick up most of Mooney’s snaps today but would be a desperation fantasy start. WRs Drake London and Ray-Ray McCloud and TE Kyle Pitts could also get target boosts.
