FALCONS

Michael Jenkins had an opportunity to shine Monday night against the Saints. With his team trailing most of the game, Jenkins was targeted nine times by Matt Ryan. He caught four for 66 yards. Not terrible, but not great considering the ideal circumstances. The truth is: Jenkins is no more than a fourth option on a slightly-better-than-average offense. There's no room for a guy like that in fantasy football. Waive him.

SAINTS

Now that's more like it. That's the Pierre Thomas I've expected to see all season. Mike Bell still got a lot of carries in the win over the Falcons, but clearly Thomas was the better and more productive back. This should lead to more opportunities in the future on an unstoppable offense. The sky's the limit for this guy. Time to start riding him.
