Marcus Mariota signs with Falcons

Mar 21, 2022

The Atlanta Falcons have signed QB Marcus Mariota to a two-year deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Shortly after trading Matt Ryan, the Falcons add Mariota. The former Raider and Titan rejoins Arthur Smith in Atlanta. The two worked together in Tennessee. As of today, Mariota has little competition at quarterback, but that could change once the NFL Draft starts.

Jets QB Zach Wilson to undergo MRI

Zach Wilson went down during the Jets first preseason with an apparent ACL injury

Related Players: Joe Flacco, Mike White

Fantasy Impact:

This is clearly a detriment to Zach Wilson's sophomore season if the tests come back positive. If the baton gets passed to Mike White, we could see some extreme short-yardage usage for the running back tandem of Breece Hall and Michael Carter

This coincides with a recent report from The Athletic that Waller has missed "five practices in a row."

Related Players: Foster Moreau

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter continues to say that it is "not considered serious." Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported that the time away for Waller has meant more looks for Foster Moreau, who has "looked to be more well-rounded as a receiver and blocker." Darren Waller can't take another seismic hit to his value and still remain a fourth-round fantasy pick; he's already being squeezed out of target share from newly-acquired Davante Adams.

Rams WR Tutu Atwell showing solid improvement through training camp

Rodrigue would continue, "His hands are sharp, his speed is there, and he got more reps, especially with WR3 Van Jefferson recovering from knee surgery."

Related Players: Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek

Fantasy Impact:

Tutu Atwell —all 165 pounds of him— is incredibly unlikely ever to become an every-down player, but the Rams presumably took him with the 57th-overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft for a reason. The article mentions that if the season started tomorrow, with Van Jefferson still sidelined, that there would be a committee approach behind Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson. It's a long shot, but if Atwell can squeeze into a WR3 role for the Rams he would become an interesting late-round addition to best ball, "non-managed" leagues.
