Falcons Week 11 Fantasy Forecast: Brian Hill could have big day

The Falcons have one of the NFL’s best passing offenses this season, even if it has amounted to just two wins in nine games.

The Falcons have one of the NFL’s best passing offenses this season, even if it has amounted to just two wins in nine games.

This week, the team is down two starters, with both tight end Austin Hooper and running back Devonta Freeman out for the foreseeable future. It will be on Brian Hill and Luke Stocker to step up in their place.

Let’s examine Atlanta’s Week 11 fantasy football projections, focusing on ESPN’s standard league scoring system.

QB: Matt Ryan

ESPN Projection: 18.5 points — 2 TDs, 1 INT, 300 yards (10 rushing)

Season Total: 155.8 points — 18 TDs, 9 INTs, 2,428 yards (77 rushing)

Week 11 Analysis: The Panthers defense is actually pretty stout against the pass this season, ranking 12th in passing yards allowed per game. Ryan is pretty much guaranteed to put up numbers, though, even if the game is a blowout. He’s capable of making up for it in garbage time if Atlanta’s offense gets out to a slow start again. Expect the usual from Ryan, despite the team’s success or failure on Sunday.
