Underdog Fantasy NFL DFS Picks: Falcons vs Packers
Jordan Love HIGHER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Looking at the Green Bay Packers offense, there is no threat whatsoever in them running the football, and if there was, it does not bode well, as Atlanta has been fairly effective at stopping it. The Falcons are first in opponents’ rushing yards per game. What that means is that in order for Green Bay to move the ball effectively in this game, they have to rely on the right arm of Jordan Love.
Love has thrown for two touchdowns in each game this season. Those four touchdown passes have accounted for all of the Packers’ touchdowns. Christian Watson has been on the receiving end of three of those four touchdowns. Through two weeks, this is some of the best football that we have seen Watson play in his career. Even without Jayden Reed, the Packers still have a number of weapons, including Watson, Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft to take advantage of the pass game. The Falcons are also giving up an average of two touchdowns per game to quarterbacks.
Check out the tale of the tape for the Falcons vs Packers here, as well as the rest of the matchups this week.
Bijan Robinson HIGHER 39.5 Receiving Yards
It is fairly obvious that the way that the Falcons need to move the ball this season is to give the ball to Bijan Robinson as much as possible. The good news for Atlanta is that Robinson is extremely effective in both the run and the pass game. Over his career, Robinson has averaged 111.5 scrimmage yards per game. As stated before, Robinson is the lifeblood of this offense, so in order to move the ball consistently, he has to be involved.
Green Bay has been solid at containing the run this season, giving up just 87 yards per game. That number ranks eighth in the NFL this season. With Michael Penix at quarterback, there is mystery surrounding how this passing game will look. What we do know is that when Penix is at the helm, Robinson has averaged just north of 53 receiving yards per game, per our Field General tool. I am always in favor of looking at picks that can go higher in one play, and with Robinson, any time that he touches the ball, he can score a touchdown.
Edgerrin Cooper HIGHER 4.5 Solo Tackles
While the Packers offense has lacked consistency this season, the defense has looked like one of the better units in the NFL. Some of that success comes down to the linebacker play. Zaire Franklin was the standout addition this season, but it is Edgerrin Cooper who is playing like an All-Pro. In both of Green Bay’s games this season, Cooper has totaled six solo tackles. Watching tape on the Packers’ defense, Cooper has been flying around the field for a Jonathan Gannon defense that will always bring the energy.
In order for Green Bay to limit the Falcons offense, they have to contain Bijan Robinson. That will come down to Edgerrin Cooper making big plays in one-on-one coverage in both the run and pass game with Robinson. At this point in the season, Cooper looks like one of the better young and athletic linebackers in the NFL, which appears to be the perfect complement to stopping Robinson, at least in the run game.
