Anthony Firkser Fantasy

The Atlanta Falcons have signed tight end Anthony Firkser to the 53-man roster after he was elevated from the practice squad last week. The 27-year-old caught one pass for six yards in the season opener, as he was one of three different tight ends to get a target in Week 1. Kyle Pitts will lead the way at the position, while Parker Hesse also remains in the mix for the Atlanta offense. Firkser could be as low as the No. 3 option on the depth chart, so he offers no fantasy appeal unless someone ahead of him misses some time.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Anthony Firkser has been promoted to the active roster ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against New Orleans. He was sitting on the practice squad, so this will be his first official game wearing anything other than a Titans uniform. Throughout his four seasons in Tennessee, the 27-year-old had some fantasy value, accumulating 106 catches for 1,107 yards and five touchdowns. However, with Kyle Pitts in front of Firkser on the depth chart, he isn't worth a look from fantasy managers, even if Drake London (knee) doesn't play.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed free agent TE Anthony Firkser to a one-year deal. Firkser reunites with coach Arthur Smith, who had a direct connection with him as the former tight ends coach in Tennessee. Bringing another ex-Titan skill position player in addition to QB Marcus Mariota is worth mentioning, but is not likely to have major fantasy implications. Kyle Pitts' value does not budge with the addition to the depth chart, nor does Firkser's value change due to the coaching reunion. One player who may see a slight value bump is the Titans' new TE Austin Hooper. Hooper should capture a high snap share with Geoff Swain now directly behind him on the depth chart. However, the Tennessee TE usage both in and out of the red zone does not garner consideration outside of deep league formats.
