In a recent matchup between the Falcons and Vikings, WR Drake London struggled to convert his 10 targets into significant fantasy points, managing only 70 receiving yards and failing to score for the fourth consecutive game. Meanwhile, his teammates had more productive outings, with Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud both delivering strong performances.

In this week's edition of 'Facts vs. Feelings', Liz Loza discusses the importance of routines in fantasy football while highlighting the emotional decisions that can often lead managers astray. She emphasizes the need to balance data-driven choices with personal instincts, especially as the regular season comes to a close. Key players such as Jalen Hurts, James Cook, and Isiah Pacheco are analyzed for their recent performances and upcoming matchups, providing insights for fantasy managers looking to optimize their lineups.

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown's status for the upcoming game against the Falcons is uncertain due to a hamstring issue. After experiencing tightness in his hamstring, Brown missed practice on Saturday, raising concerns about his ability to play. Fantasy managers are advised to consider alternative options for the Monday night game, including other wide receivers from both the Eagles and Falcons.

In his debut with the Atlanta Falcons, quarterback Kirk Cousins struggled initially but managed to connect with tight end Kyle Pitts for a touchdown before halftime. This marked a significant moment for both players, as it was Cousins' first touchdown pass with the Falcons and Pitts' earliest touchdown reception in his career. The Falcons showcased a strong offensive drive, highlighted by contributions from running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III.

During the early days of training camp, Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore has been primarily working with the second-team offense. This shift in practice dynamics has been noted by several beat writers, who also highlighted that Ray-Ray McCloud has been receiving the majority of first-team slot snaps. This development could impact Moore's fantasy value as the season approaches.

Deebo Samuel, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to miss multiple games due to a shoulder injury. He has already been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Vikings and is expected to miss the following game as well. Head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Samuel has a hairline fracture in his shoulder, which will keep him out for at least three weeks, including the team's Week 9 bye. It remains to be seen whether the 49ers will place Samuel on injured reserve or if they expect him to return before the end of November. In Samuel's absence, Brandon Aiyuk is expected to have an increased role, with other options like Jauan Jennings, Ronnie Bell, Ray-Ray McCloud, or a potential trade addition also factoring in.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury. Samuel played just nine snaps before exiting the Week 6 game against the Browns. All tests on his shoulder have come back clean, indicating that the injury is not serious. Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud saw increased offensive roles following Samuel's injury.

Brandon Aiyuk, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, has been cleared to return to the field after missing last week's game with a left shoulder injury. However, fellow wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings are listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively. Samuel has been dealing with rib and knee injuries, while Jennings has a shin injury. The team will turn to Ray-Ray McCloud and rookie Ronnie Bell to fill in the snaps alongside Aiyuk, and may also elevate Chris Conley and Willie Snead IV from the practice squad for depth.
