Atlanta has been so hot or cold this season it is hard to gauge whether they can be a real team to beat. Something that is not hard to gauge is Gage’s talent. He had a solid day against the Bucs with eight catches for 76 yards.

With tight end Austin Hooper expected to miss another game and Gage’s target share in the offense growing, the former sixth-round pick could be in store for some fantasy relevancy.

The Falcons host the Saints on Thanksgiving night so expect a lot of fireworks and Gage to be used more heavily in the passing game.
