Russell Gage Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage finished his third season in Atlanta strong with nine catches for 91 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers. Gage was the apple of Matt Ryan's eye in this one, as he led the team in receptions and yards, hauling in a 19-yard score for his fourth of the year. The 24-year-old benefited from Julio Jones' absence, as he produced career-highs in every receiving category. Gage has seemingly locked down the number-three wideout job in Atlanta as he delivered WR3 value for managers. He could be a sneaky late-round sleeper next season, particularly if the new Falcons' regime continues their pass-happy ways.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage will likely see a prominent role in the offense again, with Julio Jones (hamstring) trending towards missing Week 17 against the Buccaneers. Gage has produced at least 50 yards receiving in three of his last four games, including a 5-68-1 line against this Tampa Bay defense two weeks ago. Atlanta will likely be forced to air it out to move the ball, considering their lackluster running game. That should mean more looks for Gage, who saw 10 targets in the first meeting with the Bucs. He's worth a look as a cheaper option in DFS formats this week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage finished with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. Gage has seen at least five targets in the last five games, but his yard total in Week 16 was the lowest since Week 12. Nevertheless, the WR's target share has been decent recently, so managers can only hope his low yard total this week was an outlier. Next week, Gage will face a Bucs squad allowing the 10th-most points to fantasy wideouts, so he does hold flex value.
