Christian Blake Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Christian Blake stepped up for the team in a big way on Thanksgiving against the Saints. After catching only four passes all year coming into the game, Blake wound up with six catches for 57 yards on nine targets in Week 13. He tied with Russell Gage for second on the team in targets behind Calvin Ridley, who had 10. The team was without Julio Jones (shoulder) and Austin Hooper (back) in the game, which provided Blake for the opportunity to step up. Blake is worth watching if Jones and Hooper remain out, but both could be back next week as they have a long week of rest to recover.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Christian Blake caught five passes for 46 yards during the loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday. The 23-year-old led all receivers on the night and was more productive than rookie camp-standout Olamide Zaccheaus, who finished with two catches (six targets) for 31 yards. He won't have any fantasy impact at the moment as he would be slotted behind Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu, and Calvin Ridley at best, but he is someone to watch if he makes the final cut and any one of those three goes down with an injury at some point this season.
