Washington Redskins
Pierre Garcon (Wide Receiver): Garcon is the Redskins go to wide receiver while DeSean Jackson is injured so he will continue to get targets. Garcon had the game winning touchdown last week but will need a whole lot more production against this high scoring Falcons team. Garcon is a WR2 for week 5.
Alfred Morris/Matt Jones/Chris Thompson (Running Back): Matt Jones was the odd man out last week and could be again this week. Thompson had a strong showing and might be a bit hungrier than Jones. This could all be a moot point if the Redskins find themselves down by multiple touchdowns and just end up airing the ball out.
Atlanta Falcons
Julio Jones/Leonard Hankerson (Wide Receiver): Jones is actually having an interesting season since Devonta Freeman erupted. Against the Cowboys it was all Jones and Freeman, however the very next week against Houston, Jones was held to less than 5 fantasy points. Leonard Hankerson was the fantasy darling and yes this is because the Falcons were killing the Texans by a ridiculous margin. But Jones could find himself struggling if the Falcons become a run first team; remember Dan Quinn spent an awful lot of time on the Seahawks. Jones is a WR1 however if he struggles this week, there might be trouble in an offensive paradise. Hankerson is a strong flex option.
Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman (Running Back): Freeman will be tested to replicate these points every week, the rest of the year could be seen as a letdown for him from a fantasy perspective. The return of Tevin Coleman will have a lot to do with Freeman's productivity. Coleman was on pace to snatch the starting job from Freeman until he got injured. Now Coleman is looking like Freeman's backup but this Falcons offense remembers the promise that Coleman provides. If Coleman can make an impact on limited carries they might split their reps right down the middle.
Matt Ryan (Quarterback): Ryan should be in for a great game this week. Ryan should make mincemeat out of this Washington secondary unless they decide to run the ball heavily. Then Ryan is looking at an average day.
