Atlanta @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Bengals 26.5, Falcons 20
Falcons HC Arthur Smith’s clear 2022 objective has been to keep the air out of the ball; only the Bears and early-bye Titans have dialed up fewer pass attempts than Atlanta, while Marcus Mariota’s attempt totals in his team’s three victories are 20, 19, and 14. No. 7 among quarterbacks in rushing yards (206), Mariota is running enough to warrant two-QB/Superflex startability, even against a Bengals defense submitting the NFL’s fourth-fewest fantasy QB points. … Damien Williams (ribs, I.R.) is expected to sit one more week, and Cordarrelle Patterson (knee, I.R.) is ineligible until Week 9. Against a Cincy defense missing NTs D.J. Reader (MCL) and Josh Tupuo (calf) and three-down LB Logan Wilson (shoulder), I can justify Tyler Allgeier as a low-end RB2/flex play and Caleb Huntley as a touchdown-reliant flex option. Allgeier led Atlanta’s Week 6 backfield in snaps (57%) and routes run (12) in Week 6’s upset of the 49ers.
