Throughout the 2025 fantasy football season, advice is being offered to help players build effective lineups each week, with a focus on less obvious starters and sleepers, as well as a special look at Atlanta Falcons players.
At running back, Breece Hall is expected to have a strong game against the Carolina Panthers, with the potential for his first touchdown of the season. Cam Skattebo is recommended following a breakout performance, and Rachaad White remains a consistent choice despite potential limitations from the Detroit Lions’ offense. Rhamondre Stevenson is identified as a sleeper start against the Tennessee Titans, with this week possibly being crucial for his season. Tyler Allgeier of the Falcons could see increased action versus the San Francisco 49ers, as Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said the team would “continue to monitor” Bijan Robinson’s workload to keep him fresh throughout the season, giving Allgeier a significant role. Bijan Robinson remains a top fantasy option, ranked third among running backs.
Among wide receivers, Nico Collins has an opportunity to improve his season against the Seattle Seahawks, while Jaylen Waddle could benefit from increased targets in Tyreek Hill’s absence. Chris Olave continues to command a large share of his team’s targets and is expected to perform well against the Chicago Bears. Matthew Golden and Wan’Dale Robinson are listed as sleeper starts due to recent improvements and consistent involvement, respectively. For the Falcons, Drake London is highlighted after a 16-target, 158-yard, one-touchdown performance, solidifying his status as a primary receiver.
At tight end, Harold Fannin Jr. is poised to take advantage of David Njoku’s injury, Travis Kelce remains a reliable option, and Cade Otton may see more targets due to his team’s receiver injuries. Mason Taylor and Michael Mayer are suggested as sleepers based on favorable matchups and recent performances. Kyle Pitts of the Falcons is expected to have an easier matchup this week, particularly with San Francisco’s Fred Warner unavailable.
Quarterback recommendations include Justin Herbert, who is projected to finish among the top performers against the Indianapolis Colts, Jared Goff in a favorable matchup with Tampa Bay, and Trevor Lawrence, who faces the Los Angeles Rams. Bryce Young and Spencer Rattler are noted as sleeper options for their respective matchups. Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons quarterback, is also recommended due to San Francisco’s struggles defending deep passes, with Next Gen Stats showing the 49ers have allowed a league-high 34% open target rate on passes of 15 or more air yards.
Falcons players receive special attention in each section, with Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Tyler Allgeier, and Michael Penix Jr. all expected to play important roles in their upcoming game against San Francisco.
