Denver @ Atlanta
Team Totals: Falcons 27, Broncos 23
The Broncos visit Atlanta in letdown position after Week 8’s thrilling comeback win over the division-rival Chargers to face a rested Falcons team returning from a long week following last Thursday night’s 25-17 victory at Carolina. Yet Drew Lock’s matchup is friendly enough for relatively confident two-QB-league usability and longshot DFS-tournament dart throws playing indoors at Atlanta, which has yielded a 20:6 TD-to-INT ratio and top-14 fantasy finishes to 7-of-8 quarterbacks faced. Still playing pass-funnel defense, the Falcons are allowing the NFL’s third-most yards per pass attempt (8.5) but just 3.67 yards per carry to running backs. … In what’s become a recurring theme, Phillip Lindsay severely outplayed Melvin Gordon against the Chargers, exhibiting far superior vision between the tackles and busting a third-quarter 55-yard touchdown run critical to Denver’s comeback win. Yet Gordon out-snapped him 55% to 45%, out-touched Lindsay 14 to 7, drew seven targets to Lindsay’s three, and remains the Broncos’ top fantasy backfield bet, at least for now.
