Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones (Wide Receiver): Julio has put up some modest performances over the past couple of weeks after an incredibly hot start to the season. Jones will probably be in most of your starting lineups but another lack luster performance could have owners looking for a trade in the worst way.

Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman (Running Backs): Freeman and Coleman might be facing their stiffest competition yet as they go up against the Titans who have given up the 8th fewest fantasy points to running backs. Freeman has had 4 straight weeks of 30 plus point games, look for that streak to end on Sunday.

Jacob Tamme (Tight End): The one area Tennessee is weak on defense is defending opposing tight ends. This is where Tamme comes in, if he can find some space he could be a pretty big sleeper heading into Sunday.

Tennessee Titans

Delanie Walker (Tight End): Atlanta has given up the sixth most points to tight ends all season long however it is tough to trust Walker this week especially with Zach Mettenberger leading the offense. Walker might be the best option on this Titans team for fantasy production.

Kendall Wright (Wide Receiver): Wright is going up against a Falcons defense that has allowed the 4th fewest points to wide receivers this season. He is likely going to be blanketed in coverage by Desmond Trufant which makes him not the safest fantasy play this week.

Antonio Andrews/Bishop Sankey/ Dexter McCluster (Wide Receiver): The Falcons have given up a ton of fantasy points to running backs all season long. The only problem is that this is the Titans and predicting which running back will carry the load and how effective they will be is exercise in absolute futility. If you must, put Sankey or Andrews in your flex.
