Team news: Atlanta Falcons | Page 8

The Carolina Panthers have traded WR Robbie Anderson to the Arizona Cardinals less than 24 hours after he was kicked off his own sideline.

Though Marquise Brown went down with a foot injury that could hold him out for a minimal amount of time, it's hard to see Anderson garnering a large role with the Cardinals. DeAndre Hopkins returns from suspension Week 7 and is guaranteed to be a target hog. Anderson should not be a waiver wire priority.

Falcons are listing tight end Kyle Pitts - who missed last week’s game due to a hamstring injury and was limited at practice this week - as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers.

With Pitts missing Week 5, Drake London was surprisingly not used more but less, earning a 28% target share, which is less than the massive 34.7% target share he had up to that point. As for backup tight ends Parker Heese and Anthony Firkser, they combined for three targets and one reception. London is a worthwhile WR3 play whether or not Pitts is on the field, but there are no other options besides.

Did confirm that Kyle Pitts WILL be back to practice this afternoon.

The tweet added they'll keep an eye on him as the week goes on. Pitts missed practice las week before being ruled out, so this is a step in the right direction at least.

Tight end Kyle Pitts has been formally ruled out of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Falcons announced on Friday.

As reported yesterday, though Kye Pitts is a unique brand of athlete on the field, at least some of his usage would presumably fall to the tight ends behind him. None of which will operate out of the slot or out wide, but could be usable as a TE punt in DFS, namely, former Titans TE Anthony Firkser.

Per Michael, there was no Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) at the open-to-the-media portion of practice for the second straight day.

For the sake of the Atlanta Falcons puttering pass game, let's just hope this is a minor setback.

Pitts has been missing in the Falcons offense and this is another hit for owners. Hopefully he can get back on the practice field leading up to Week 5. Hesse and Firkser are up next on the depth chart if Pitts can't go.

Cordarrelle Patterson will miss at least four games on IR; Caleb Huntley was promoted from the practice squad after his big day against the Browns.

Patterson very curiously came off the sideline for one more carry on the team's last full drive after standing with his helmet off for a full quarter and a half. Maybe the team wanted to test his knee one more time, but, regardless, he has now been placed on IR, and the team will have a look at some young options behind him. At the moment, there is likely more murk in this backfield than we would want for fantasy viability; Huntley could be a between-the-20s banger, Allgeier could be more of an "every down" back, and Williams —the team's punt returner— is likely just a scat back.

Cardinals ruled out WR AJ Green for Sunday’s game versus the Panthers due to a hamstring injury and are listing WRs Marquise Brown (foot) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) as questionable.

Related Players: Greg Dortch

Greg Dortch has become a surprising name to emerge in fantasy circles as Arizona deals with injuries and the DeAndre Hopkins suspension. The 24-year-old has racked up 23 targets through three weeks and can still be considered a WR3 regardless of Randale Moore's status.

Wide receiver Rondale Moore could be back in the lineup for the Cardinals this week.

Moore has missed the first three games of the year after hurting his hamstring days before the season opener, but he has taken a big step toward returning to action. Moore took part in practice on Wednesday for the first time since his injury.

Word from the team on his participation level will come later in the day, the story said, but any work is obviously a move in the right direction for a Cardinals team that has struggled to put points on the board outside of a strong finish against the Raiders in Week 2. Owners will need to monitor the situation as Moore could end up on a pitch count if he does play in Week 4. His return could affect Dortch's usage.
