Fantasy Impact: Jarrett is continuing to work his way back from a torn ACL in Week 8 last season. Bijan Robinson was also absent from OTAs on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: It is likely just a precautionary move. Robinson will look to return to the practice field later this week.

Fantasy Impact: Dwelley started 17 games during his six seasons in San Francisco. He'll add depth to the tight end room for the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Cruikshank had a tryout last Friday with Atlanta. He will attempt to earn a spot on the 53-man roster out of camp.

Scotty Miller has signed a one-year deal with the Steelers after spending last season with the Falcons. (Source: Adam Schefter on X)

Fantasy Impact: Miller's signing reunites him with Arthur Smith, former Falcons head coach and current offensive coordinator for the Steelers. Miller will look to compete for a roster spot as the summer progresses. Still, the Steelers will likely seek out a bigger name to help stabilize the wide receiver position after trading away Diontae Johnson.

The Atlanta Falcons are exercising the fifth-year option for Kyle Pitts. (Source: Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, the Falcons will pick up the fifth-year option to keep Pitts under contract for another season. He has been a bit disappointing so far relative to how much he was hyped up after being drafted fourth overall back in 2021, but this season he will finally be healthy and will presumably have good quarterback play from Kirk Cousins. This move was expected but still adds a bit more long-term security to the tight end's profile.

The Bengals signed free agent QB Logan Woodside to a one-year contract, per Adam Schefter (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Woodside makes his return to the team that drafted him in 2018, and will serve as the QB3 for the Bengals this year.

The Atlanta Falcons are trading QB Desmond Ridder to the Arizona Cardinals as a part of a player-for-player swap. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ridder went 6-7 as the Falcons' starter in 2023, but Atlanta brought in Kirk Cousins to take over. Heading into his third season, the former Cincinnati product will get a change of scenery, backing up QB Kyler Murray. He will likely compete for the QB2 gig with Clayton Tune. Ridder threw for 2,836 yards with 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season.

The Bills have agreed to terms with WR Mack Hollins. (Source: Jermey Fowler on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Hollins will provide depth in the Bills’ wide receiver room. The 30-year-old veteran tallied 251 receiving yards on 18 receptions in 13 games with the Falcons last season.

The Eagles signed Matt Hennessy to a one-year deal. (Source: Zach Berman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hennessy previously started 22 games for the Falcons. He missed all of last season due to a knee injury. He'll add depth to the interior of the Eagles offensive line.

The Texans are expected to sign CB Jeff Okudah to a one-year deal. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Okudah played relatively well in his limited role with the Falcons last season. In 14 games, the 25-year-old tallied 44 total tackles and three passes defensed.

The Falcons have released Jonnu Smith. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Smith caught 50 passes for 532 yards and three touchdowns last season. He will look to land as a depth tight end with a new team in free agency.

The Atlanta Falcons are hiring Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their next head coach. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Falcons moved on from Arthur Smith and are now bringing in a defensive coach in Morris. The 47-year-old coach has a history with Atlanta, having served as an assistant and an interim coach with the Falcons in the past. It seemed as though Bill Belichick had the lead on the job until some reports came out recently indicating otherwise, and the Falcons ultimately decided to roll with Morris.

Younghoe Koo converted on his lone field goal attempt (30) and 2-of-2 extra points in the Falcons’ 48-17 loss to the Saints.

Fantasy Impact: Koo finishes the season 32-of-37 on field goal attempts and 27-of-28 on extra point attempts. Three of his five misses were on attempts of 50+ yards. Fantasy managers should expect Koo to remain a solid option in 2024.

Drake London caught 4-of-9 targets for 41 yards in the Falcons’ 48-17 loss to the Saints.

Fantasy Impact: London led the team in targets and was second on the team in receptions in Sunday’s loss. The 22-year-old will finish the 2023 season with 905 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 69 receptions.

Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for 20 yards on five carries in the Falcons’ 48-17 loss to the Saints.

Fantasy Impact: Patterson has operated in a dual role in his time with the Falcons. The veteran will likely remain in that role should he stay with the Falcons in 2024.

Tyler Allgeier rushed for 24 yards on six carries in the Falcons’ 48-17 loss to the Saints. He caught 3-of-3 targets for 10 yards.

Fantasy Impact: Allgeier closes out the season with a fairly quiet performance that was definitely impacted by the Saints getting out to a large lead. The 23-year-old will likely remain the backup to Bijan Robinson to start the 2024 season.

Falcons QB Taylor Heinicke is officially inactive for a Week 18 matchup with the Saints.

Fantasy Impact: Heinicke was listed as questionable with an ankle injury and was not able to show enough in pregame warmups to draw the start. The Falcons will turn to Desmond Ridder in the regular season finale.

Van Jefferson caught three of five targets for 19 yards during the Falcons' 37-17 loss to the Bears in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Jefferson had one of his biggest games since joining the Falcons, but it wasn't nearly enough to put him on the fantasy radar. He can be avoided in all leagues ahead of Week 18 against the Saints.

The Giants are signing DT Timmy Horne to their active roster off the Falcons’ practice squad. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This a depth move for the Giants with Dexter Lawrence dealing with a hamstring injury.
