Big loss from Falcons as they are going to place Devonta Freeman on IR today (Jay Glazer)

Nerdy Football Analysis: In addition to his groin, Freeman has suffered a foot injury in 2018. He’s eligible to return from the IR given we’re heading into Week 6 he has very little fantasy value at this point. Tevin Coleman and Ito Smith should share the bulk of the running back duties moving forward.

Nerdy Football Analysis: Rodgers was sharp during the Monday Night Football matchup with the 49ers, hitting receivers in stride on a few big plays and delivering a game-winning drive capped by a Mason Crosby FG as time expired. even with the lingering knee issues, he and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes are basically the top two fantasy QBs and are essentially matchup-proof.
