NFL 2018: Falcons vs Eagles, Highest Fantasy Scores (Half PPR)

Tevin Coleman - 11.00 Fantasy Points

Atlanta Falcons v Philadelphia Eagles

Tevin Coleman outscored fellow RB Devonta Freeman, due to running in a 9-yard touchdown in the second half. Coleman was actually pretty ineffective with his rushes carrying the ball 9 times for just 19 yards.

He also caught one of his two targets for 26 yards. Coleman is a player you can usually start in your FLEX most weeks, yet he could be in line for a larger workload next week. Freeman came out of the game late in the 4th quarter due to a knee injury.

There is no word yet on the severity of the injury, but it is something to definitely keep an eye on. If Freeman has to miss time, then Coleman is a high-end RB2 every week.

Nelson Agholor - 9.50 Fantasy Points

Super Bowl LII - Philadelphia Eagles v New England Patriots

It was a busy night for Nelson Agholor. The defacto WR1 in the Eagles offense, with Alshon Jeffrey still missing with injury, Agholor was targeted 10 times by Nick Foles. Agholor turned those 10 targets into 8 catches, but only accumulated 33 yards at a very low 4.1 yards per catch.

His career average is 11.7 yards per catch, so this last night’s total can be put down to Nick Foles' reluctance to push the ball downfield. Still, Agholor returned a decent total for fantasy owners, who have him in any type of PPR league.

Matt Ryan - 8.84 Fantasy Points

Atlanta Falcons v Philadelphia Eagles

Matt Ryan was poor last night. There is no other way to say it. Ryan completed just 21 of 43 pass attempts, 0 TDs and 1 interception. His inability to find his receiving options in the redzone really showed, with the Falcons scoring just 1 TD on 12 of their drives.

Ryan looked flustered under pressure from the Eagles' impressive pass rush. He was wayward on too many passes, including the last play of the game, which could have been a game-winner for the Falcons if executed correctly. Rookie wideout Calvin Ridley, who was much hyped this offseason, finished without a catch on 2 targets.

8.84 points is a poor return for his fantasy owners, leaving them under pressure before the Sunday games have even started.
