This is a get-right spot for Todd Bowles’ defense after Tampa Bay got ethered by Patrick Mahomes last week. The Bucs’ ability to stamp out enemy rushing offenses gives them a major matchup advantage against Atlanta’s run-based attack, which won’t have top RB Cordarrelle Patterson (knee, I.R.) for at least a month. Marcus Mariota is playable only in two-QB leagues. … I’m favoring Tyler Allgeier over Caleb Huntley in Atlanta’s backfield, but passing-down specialist Avery Williams will also be involved in a game where the Falcons’ pass expectation is spiked. Allgeier is a low-floor flex play. … Making matters worse for Atlanta, Kyle Pitts (hamstring) missed most of the practice week. By default, we do have to like the spot for Drake London, who profiles as a target monster. … I don’t want any part of ancillary pieces Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel Hodge, Damiere Byrd, Parker Hesse, or Anthony Firkser. If they’ll be missing both Patterson and Pitts, this will be the least talented offense on an NFL field in Week 5.
