Kirk Cousins put together one of his best games of the season on Sunday, helping power the Falcons to a 31-26 victory over the Buccaneers.
McCloud, the team's primary slot receiver, ran a route on nearly every Kirk Cousins drop back. The team's targets were spread somewhat evenly between its main pass catchers, leaving McCloud with few opportunities. He's only fantasy relevant in deeper leagues with multiple flex spots.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney led the team in receiving catching five of seven targets including a TD. With QB Kirk Cousins throwing four TDs on the day, Mooney was the beneficiary of that strong passing attack from Cousins.
Falcons WR Drake London only caught four of his six targets for 34 yards in the Falcons win over the Buccaneers. On a day when QB Kirk Cousins threw for 276 yards and four TDs, London came up on the short end of the stick.
After veteran Kirk Cousins addressed the team on Friday, the Atlanta Falcons went out on Sunday, bounced back from last week's loss, and hung on for a 31-26 victory over the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon at Raymond James Stadium.
