Russell Gage Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage hauled in seven of his 13 targets for 68 scoreless yards in Week 17. Gage was covered for most of the day by Sean Murphy-Bunting, who has been emerging as a solid cornerback for the Buccaneers, but Gage still managed to have a decent day. Moving forward to 2020, Gage will likely go undrafted in most 12-team leagues and will only see consistent, significant usage in the Falcons passing game if there's an injury to either Calvin Ridley or Julio Jones. Gage stepped up and performed well after Mohamed Sanu was traded to the Patriots and Ridley went down for the season.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is in a good place going into Week 17. Gage has caught five or more passes in four of his past five games. This week, Gage and the Falcons face a very favorable matchup against a generous Buccaneers pass defense. The team might be without Julio Jones (knee) in the game as Jones is currently questionable. Jones's absence would provide Gage with more targets, though he might find it harder to get open. Regardless, Gage is essentially a lock for at least six targets and should find his way to at least five catches in the game, making him a solid WR3 or flex in PPR leagues.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage caught five of his six targets for 49 yards during the win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also added two carries for seven yards. The 23-year-old has taken advantage of the absence of Calvin Ridley (abdomen) and has also recorded at least five catches in four of his last five outings. He will look to close out the year in decisive fashion against the Bucs, with Gage going for eight catches for 76 yards against Tampa at the end of November.
