Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones (Wide Receiver): Jones went off in the first week of the 2015 NFL season. Jones seemingly can get open in any secondary in the NFL. He looks 100 percent even though he was a little banged up at the end of the week 1 contest with the Eagles. Jones is a must start in all leagues and is a high WR1 for week 2.

Tevin Coleman/Devonta Freeman (Running Back): Coleman has huge upside this week going up against the Giants defense. The Giants gave up a ton of yards to Cowboys running backs last week and this tandem could have a big game against a deflated Giants defense. Coleman is a RB2 this week and Freeman is a solid flex option.

Matt Ryan (Quarterback): Ryan should have a good day against a struggling Giants pass defense. Ryan will have an opportunity to connect with Julio Jones all over the field. The only concern is the Falcons offensive line considering the Eagles put tremendous pressure on him in week 1.

New York Giants

Odell Beckham JR (Wide Receivers): ODB got rocked early in the week 1 matchup against the Cowboys and struggled to put up points for the rest of the game. The Falcons should have a pretty solid game plan for ODB and will likely double or triple team him for most of the game. Desmond Trufant could help shut down ODB for a large portion of the game but Beckham could put up some points. Beckham is a solid WR2 this week.

Rashad Jennings/ Shane Vereen (Running Back): Jennings and Vereen are RB2-3 options for week 2 and should not have too much trouble against this Falcons defense. Jennings is the Giants number 1 option however their offensive leaves something to be desired for. If the Giants ground game cannot get going against this defense there is a cause for concern.
