The Atlanta Falcons had a lot of buzz heading into Week 1 for being a team that made one of the biggest transformations all offseason: adding QB Kirk Cousins, head coach Raheem Morris, Offensive Coordinator Zac Robinson, and adding WR Darnell Mooney. The early returns were disappointing. Atlanta lost to a Justin Fields led Pittsburgh Steelers team 18-10 and Cousins looked like a shell of himself.

On the Philadelphia side of things Saquon Barkley as a FA signing paid dividends out of the gate, notching 3 touchdowns in a victory over the Packers. Monday Night Football has the Falcons getting 6 points on the road and we’ll know if Week 1 was due to a lack of preseason play or if Cousins is losing his battle with father time.

Dallas Goedert (PHI) over 3.5 receptions (-145) 

Line available on DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.

Geodert hauled in 4 receptions on 5 targets in Week 1 against the Packers, but gets a more favorable matchup in Atlanta on Monday Night Football. According to PFF, Goedert saw 4 of his 5 targets on the 17 plays that there we no pressure on Jalen Hurts. This was good for 23.5% of the targets just behind DeVonta Smith.  Although it’s only one week of data, this trend rang true in 2023 where he was second on the team in no pressure targets for the Eagles. The Falcons defensive line in Week 1 had the 4th worst pressure rate in the league and I expect Hurts to find Goedert with no issue. Although this line is juiced, I still love it at 3.5 and will put 1.5u on it.
