ATL WR Russell Gage - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Cowboys

With Calvin Ridley out, Russell Gage has been operating as the WR1 in Atlanta and he had a decent game against the Saints, with 64 yards on seven catches (eight targets). He'll still compete for targets with Cordarrelle Patterson and Kyle Pitts, but somebody has to catch the ball among the wide receivers. Might as well be Gage and he does have at least 60 yards in his last two games played.

ATL WR Russell Gage - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Panthers

Atlanta was spreading the ball around quite a bit against Miami and Russell Gage was one of the beneficiaries, having his best game of 2021 with four catches, 67 yards and a touchdown in his first game since Week 2. Gage just cracks our top 50 wide receivers this week as arguably the No. 4 overall option in the passing game, so he's a bit of a weekly boom or bust.

ATL WR Russell Gage - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Russell Gage firmly takes over the WR2 role in Atlanta with Julio Jones now in Tennessee. Gage averaged about seven targets per game in 2020 and in the seven games since the Falcons' Week 10 bye, Gage had five games with at least 50 yards, four games with at least five catches and three games out of the last five with a touchdown. Gage settled in nicely in Atlanta's offense, with or without Julio Jones.

Fantasy Downside

While Gage will now be the WR2 in Atlanta, he will undoubtedly be no higher than third on the pecking order, maybe even fourth. TE Kyle Pitts will absolutely be featured in the offense and RB Mike Davis could also see targets out of the backfield. That will highly limit the fantasy potential for Gage, who only caught four touchdown passes last season.

2021 Bottom Line

Gage can still be a decent deep play as a WR4, maybe a WR3/Flex. But he won't see the target share to be a consistent, week-to-week option behind Ridley and Pitts (and perhaps even Davis).

ATL WR Russell Gage - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs Buccaneers

With some players sitting out in Week 17, including Julio Jones, Gage has moved up into WR3 territory for the final week of the season as the complementary piece to Calvin Ridley. Gage had a 5-58-1 line against the Bucs in Week 15.

ATL WR Russell Gage - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Chiefs

Gage has turned in a very solid season playing a complementary role to Calvin Ridley. He has at least 50 yards receiving yards in four of his last five games and has touchdowns in two of his last three games. He's a deep flex play, but still a bit of a risk in championship week.

ATL WR Russell Gage - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Buccaneers

With Julio Jones still banged up, and likely out for Week 15, Russell Gage has continued to fare pretty well in his absence. He has at least 50 receiving yards in the last four weeks and double-digit PPR fantasy points in three of the last four weeks. If you're in a pinch, you could do worse than take a flyer on Gage against the Buccaneers. You don't need to get too cute, though.

ATL WR Russell Gage - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Broncos

Gage could be line for a starting role and an increased role with Calvin Ridley likely not playing. Gage hasn't scored in six games, but with fewer options for Matt Ryan, that streak might come to an end Sunday against an average Broncos defense.
