Caleb Huntley Fantasy Stats

The Atlanta Falcons placed running back Caleb Huntley (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday after he suffered an Achilles injury in a Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints last year. Huntley was never expected to be ready for the start of training camp next week, although he's consistently been at the team's complex rehabbing the injury. Head coach Arthur Smith isn't putting a timetable for when Huntley might return. If Huntley remains on the PUP list when the regular season starts, he'd have to miss the first four games of the 2023 season. The 24-year-old had 76 carries for 366 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown in 12 games in his rookie season in 2022. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready for Week 1.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley (Achilles) will miss the team's final three games after the major injury he suffered in Week 15. Huntley finishes the season with 76 carries for 366 yards and two touchdowns. Ever since Cordarrelle Patterson returned from Injured Reserve in Week 9, Huntley hasn't been a fantasy factor, so there's no big fantasy impact to the news. Patterson and rookie running back Tyler Allgeier will continue to split the backfield work down the stretch for Atlanta.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that running back Caleb Huntley's ankle injury didn't look good in the Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Huntley is going for an MRI exam on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. With only three regular season games left, there's a good chance we won't see the 24-year-old running back the rest of the way for Atlanta. In the loss to the Saints, Huntley carried the ball just one time for two yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. With both Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier healthy, Huntley belongs on the waiver wire in most single-season fantasy leagues. If his injury is serious enough to sideline him the rest of the way, Avery Williams would be elevated to the No. 3 role.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 15 versus the New Orleans Saints. He had one rush for two yards before exiting. Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier will continue to lead the backfield.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley led the team with 91 rushing yards in the last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. The young running back averaged a season-high 5.7 yards per rushing attempt against the division rival. More importantly, he had 16 rushing attempts for the second time in the past three weeks. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers have given up five rushing touchdowns to the position over their past three games. If Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) returns this week, Huntley likely has a limited role. However, the young running back is a potential sleeper if the veteran is out again this week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley led the team with 16 rushing attempts in the team's 37-34 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The young running back also had a team-high 91 rushing yards and averaged 5.7 yards per rushing attempt in the win. While he split the backfield work with the rookie Tyler Allgeier, Huntley still scored 9.1 half-point PPR fantasy points in Week 8. The young running back had his best performance of the year with 91 rushing yards, but the success might be short-lived. Starter Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) is eligible to return from injured reserve this week. If the veteran plays in Week 9, Huntley will likely struggle to see the field.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley missed time earlier this week because of an illness. However, the young running back returned to practice on Friday and should be ready to play on Sunday. While the Falcons should have Huntley for their matchup against the Carolina Panthers, fantasy players should avoid starting him. The former Ball State running back has averaged only 3.8 yards per rushing attempt and 3.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past three contests. More importantly, the Carolina Panthers have held running backs to only 12.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past two weeks. Fantasy players can put Huntley back on the waiver wire, especially with Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) potentially returning next week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley had a limited role in the 35-17 Week 7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The young running back had only six rushing attempts compared to 16 for Tyler Allgeier. Furthermore, Huntley had 10 fewer rushing attempts on Sunday than he did a week ago. Sadly, he had only 22 yards on his six rushing attempts, with his longest run going for 10 yards. More importantly, Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) only has to miss one more game before being eligible to come off the injured reserve list. Huntley has little fantasy appeal next week against the Carolina Panthers. They have held running backs to only 2.97 yards per rushing attempt over the past two weeks.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley has played well the past three weeks, averaging 4.4 yards per rushing attempt. However, it hasn't turned into consistent fantasy success for the young running back. Huntley has averaged only seven half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past three weeks, scoring under six fantasy points twice. More importantly, he is clearly behind Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart, playing 85 fewer snaps than the former BYU star (136-51) this season. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals have held running backs to only 16.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this year. Furthermore, they have surrendered under 80 rushing yards to the position in 67% of their games. Huntley belongs on all fantasy benches this week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Caleb Huntley led the team with 16 rushing attempts in the 28-14 Week 6 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The young running back also led the team with 59 rushing yards, averaging 3.7 yards per rushing attempt. Unfortunately, he didn't find the end zone after scoring an eight-year touchdown in Week 5. However, Huntley saw more rushing attempts than the rookie Tyler Allgeier. While fantasy players had high hopes for Huntley, the Atlanta backfield appears to be a two-headed attack until Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) returns in a few weeks. Huntley is a potential flex option next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
