'Falcons vs. Buccaneers: Week 7 Start Time, Venue, and Predictions'

"Exciting news for White as Atlanta's run defense is tough, but Desmond Ridder's heavy passing volume benefits London."

In the world of fantasy football, it's not often that we find ourselves getting excited about a player like White. This is mainly due to the fact that the opponent's run defense is typically quite strong. In the case of Atlanta, their run defense ranks ninth in DVOA, 11th in rushing yards per attempt allowed, and holds the top spot in rush EPA per play on defense. These statistics make it clear that it will be a challenging week for White. If possible, it may be wise to explore other options for your lineup.

Moving on to another player, Desmond Ridder, we see that he has been throwing the ball a lot in recent games. In fact, he has thrown the ball at least 31 times in each of his last five games. Last week, Ridder's three turnovers put his team in a difficult position, but it also created a game script that required a heavy passing volume. This led to a big day for London, who caught nine passes for 125 yards. With Ridder consistently throwing for over 300 yards and attempting around 30 passes per game, London is a solid option and ranks in the top 24.

Now let's shift our focus to Kyle Pitts, the tight end for the Atlanta Falcons. Pitts had a strong performance last week, trailing only London in targets and scoring his first touchdown of the year. Jonnu Smith also found the end zone and remains a part of the timeshare at tight end. However, this week's matchup may be tougher for them, especially considering Lavonte David's success in limiting LaPorta last week. While Smith may be more affected by this matchup, Pitts could still have a solid performance given his position on the field.

The increase in passing volume has also had a positive impact on Robinson's fantasy numbers. He ran 45 routes and received eight targets, which is one of the reasons why Tyler Allgeier is seeing more work in the running game. Robinson dominated the snaps and finished the game with 18 total touches, making him a reliable option and still ranking in the top 12. However, this week's matchup against the Buccaneers will be more challenging. Allgeier is also worth considering as a flex option, as he is guaranteed to receive at least 10 touches.

Moving on to the wide receivers for the Buccaneers, we see that Mike Evans had a tough start to the game with a tipped ball that resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown. This set the tone for the day for Tampa Bay. Evans struggled to connect with his targets, catching only 40% of them. However, this opened up opportunities for Chris Godwin, who has now finished in the top 30 in back-to-back weeks. Godwin has a favorable matchup this week against the Falcons, who have strong cornerbacks. He ranks in the top 36, with Evans ahead of him in the top 30 taking on A.J. Terrell.
