Russell Gage Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage finished Week 6 with four receptions for 65 yards on four targets. This was the best performance by the receiver since Week 1 where had over 100 yards. Nevertheless, Gage's production has dipped since then and he had less than 30 yards in the past three games. While the production this week was encouraging, the consistency is not there and the player is the WR3 on the team, meaning he won't see huge numbers each week. Gage is not a starter until proves he can maintain his numbers.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is best left on the bench for Week 6. Gage has been dealing with a shoulder injury and it remains to be seen if he even plays this week. Nevertheless, after getting over 100 yards in Week 1, the WR has only gotten 64 total yards in the past three games. It seems Gage's role is not as large as hoped, and guys like Olamide Zaccheaus are also beginning to cut into it. It's best to avoid this WR for now.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage was third on the team in targets in Week 5 with five, but turned them into just two catches for 16 receiving yards. As quarterback Matt Ryan has gone, so has Gage. In his last three games with Ryan struggling, Gage has just 64 receiving yards combined and has failed to capitalize on the potential opportunity with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined. It's possible that Gage will be better with Jones to command defensive attention ahead of him. At any rate, it's almost impossible to trust him right now- unless you're backed into a corner- even with a Week 6 matchup against the Vikings, who struggle to defend the pass.
