Mohamed Sanu catches four passes in Falcons’ loss.

Sanu gained 56 yards on his four receptions, and he added one carry for three yards. As usual, the veteran receiver made tough plays in traffic and lowered his shoulder for positive yardage after the catch. Sanu is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups, but a potential Thanksgiving shootout against the Saints isn’t a bad spot to put him in your lineup as a FLEX option. He scored against New Orleans earlier this season.

Alex Erickson held without a catch in loss to the Ravens.

Erickson was targeted just once, as Andy Dalton struggled on 36 pass attempts. Whether or not A.J. Green (toe) is active for Week 12, Erickson won’t be a highly recommended fantasy option.

Calvin Ridley catches three passes in Week 11.

Ridley gained 32 yards on his three receptions along with one carry for five yards against the Cowboys. The rookie receiver had a big drop on an in-breaking route that he had go off his hands and into the hands of Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch for an interception. Ridley will look to bounce back with a strong performance on Thanksgiving night against a Saints team he lit up for a 7/146/3 line back in Week 3.

Matt Lengel scores in loss to the Ravens.

It was a four-yard touchdown in the third quarter on Lengel’s only target of the game. The 27-year-old isn’t a recommended fantasy option with just eight yards this season.

Ito Smith gets eight touches in Week 11.

Smith carried six teams for ten yards and caught two passes for 12 yards against the Cowboys. Tevin Coleman (eight carries, 58 yards, three receptions, 27 yards) was far more effective than the rookie, so it’s difficult to trust Smith in Week 12 fantasy lineups on Thanksgiving night. He probably needs a touchdown to deliver FLEX value against the Saints.

Auden Tate held to one reception in Week 11 loss.

It was a five-yard catch on his only target of the game. Tate has the talent to make an impact, but he looks like nothing more than a dynasty prospect at this point.

Tevin Coleman gets 11 touches in Week 11.

Coleman carried eight times for 58 yards and added three receptions for 27 yards against the Cowboys. Despite gashing Dallas for multiple big gains on his touches with his great speed and acceleration, the Falcons opted not to give Coleman the ball more, which was odd considering it might have slowed the pass rush and help make play-action passes more effective. Hopefully the Falcons decide to give Coleman the ball more considering how well he’s playing, but he’s probably more of a strong RB2 option with an uncertain workload in a tough matchup.
