News

  • Huge Week 1 against Seattle

    Gage corralled nine of 12 targets for a career-high 114 receiving yards during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Gage picked up right where he left off at the tail end of 2019 when he filled in as the No. 2 option at wide receiver while Calvin Ridley missed three games with an abdomen injury. The former LSU Tiger averaged eight targets per game between Weeks 12 and 17 last year, and he demonstrated a high PPR floor during that span by collecting 32 total catches. Gage owns just one touchdown on 68 offensive touches for his career, but as long as he is the No. 3 receiver in Atlanta's passing game he will…read more

  • Returns to Sunday's game

    Gage (head) was cleared to return to Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gage left briefly to be examined after a hard hit from Jamal Adams in the first half, but the receiver apparently cleared concussion protocol and returned to the game.

  • Having head examined

    Gage left Sunday's game against the Seahawks to be evaluated for a head injury, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Late in the first half, Gage was banged-up and made a visit to the sideline tent, per Jason Butt of The Athletic. Considering a head injury was noted, Gage may be going through the concussion protocol to determine whether a return is possible. If he's unable to reenter the game, he'll finish Week 1 with five catches for 54 yards.

  • Puts in full practice Thursday

    Gage (groin) practiced fully Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gage missed some time recently due to a groin injury, including being listed as limited at Wednesday's session, but the Falcons allowed him to handle every rep Thursday. Now ready to face the Seahawks on Sunday, he slots in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

  • Tending to groin issue

    Gage was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gage missed the Falcons' scrimmage last Thursday but was able to get back on the field for Monday's session. While he did the same Wednesday, he clearly still has some limitations. Fortunately, he's made appearances in back-to-back practices and has two more chances to get back to full participation, at which point the team will peg his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Seahawks. If he plays, Gage will serve as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

  • Returns to practice Monday

    Gage (undisclosed) participated in Monday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if Gage practiced at full speed, but there doesn't seem to be much concern about his availability for Week 1 versus Seattle, and there will be more clarification when the team release its first official injury report Wednesday. The 24-year-old is expected to lock down the No. 3 receiver role to begin the year and build off last year's 49-446-1 line.

  • Absent from practice

    Gage (undisclosed) did not participate in Thursday's scrimmage, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen whether Gage's absence was due to injury, but at this point there's no reason for concern about his availability for Sept. 13's season-opener against Seattle. Gage is the clear favorite to serve as Atlanta's No. 3 receiver behind Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, though he'll also need to compete with Hayden Hurst and Todd Gurley for targets.

  • Expected to secure No. 3 WR role

    Gage is the favorite to serve as Atlanta's No. 3 option at wide receiver during 2020, Matthew Tabeek of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The offseason arrival of 2016 first-round draft choice Laquon Treadwell provides some competition to Gage, but the 24-year-old seems to be coming into his own, and he will be difficult for the newcomer Treadwell to supplant. Gage recorded five or more receptions over five of his final six outings to wrap up 2019, proving himself capable of replacing Mohamed Sanu, who'd been traded to the Patriots. If able to fend off Treadwell for the job during training camp, Gage will have an opportunity to…read more

  • Beneficiary of draft weekend

    Gage remains well-positioned to serve as the Falcons' slot receiver after Atlanta went without drafting a single wideout during the 2020 NFL Draft, Mike Clay of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: As Clay noted, during weeks in which both Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones were active last season, Gage saw his target share vault to 16 percent after Mohamed Sanu's Oct. 22 trade to New England. As the No. 4 option at receiver Weeks 1 through 7, Gage accounted for just four combined catches and 44 yards, but from Week 8 to the end of the regular season, he averaged a respectable five catches and 44.7 yards per game. His involvement transferred from obsolete to significant as a result of Sanu's…read more

  • Ties Jones for team high in targets

    Gage caught seven of 13 targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 28-22 overtime win against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout from LSU turned it on over the late stages of 2019, racking up five-plus receptions in five of his final six outings to close out the year. Gage's role within Atlanta's offense increased substantially with the trade of Mohamed Sanu to New England on Oct. 22, as Gage averaged 7.3 targets per game between Weeks 8 and 17 after garnering just eight total targets across his first six appearances. With Calvin Ridley (abdomen) expected to be recovered well in time for OTAs,…read more

  • Solid Week 16 showing against Jags

    Gage hauled in five of six targets for 49 yards and ran for seven yards on two carries during Sunday's 24-12 win against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The second-year man out of LSU has been a steady contributor in Atlanta's passing game over the past month, as he has amassed at least five receptions in four of five appearances since Week 12. Gage has been efficient with opportunities granted during that span, establishing an impressive 71.4 percent catch rate with 46.8 scrimmage yards per game. He'll continue to be a secondary option for Matt Ryan when the Falcons take on a Buccaneers defense Week 17 that ranks 32nd in the NFL in both…read more

  • Tied for second in targets Week 15

    Gage caught five of six targets for 27 receiving yards and ran for six yards on his lone rush attempt during Sunday's 29-22 win against the 49ers.

    Analysis: The LSU product has now been held to 50 combined scrimmage yards over the past two weeks, but it's encouraging that he's been a highly-involved contributor amidst the depleted Falcons' receiving corps. Gage has garnered six-plus targets over three of his past four appearances heading into a Week 16 matchup against a Jacksonville defense that Sunday allowed just one opposing player -- Oakland's Darren Waller -- to exceed 45 receiving yards.

  • More work on tap

    Gage is in line for increased usage with Calvin Ridley (abdomen) expected to miss the rest of the season, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Since Mohamed Sanu was dealt to the Patriots in late October, Gage has manned the slot for the Falcons, racking up 41 targets over the last six games. Gage's peripheral numbers (9.2 YPC and 6.3 YPT) are appropriate for a receiver that doesn't make an impact outside of short- and medium-range throws from Matt Ryan. Having said that, Gage is set to be an even bigger part of Atlanta's passing attack over the final three games of the campaign.

  • No designation for Sunday

    Gage (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Gage has been a regular in the Falcons offense since Mohamed Sanu was dealt to the Patriots after Week 7. In five subsequent outings, Gage has earned between 48 and 74 percent of the snaps on offense in a given week, compiling 26 catches (on 37 targets) for 241 yards and one touchdown. His practice reps were capped this week by a rib injury, but fellow wideouts Julio Jones (shoulder) and Calvin Ridley (toe) had the same limitations. The trio will aim to take advantage of a Carolina defense that…read more

  • Reps capped Thursday

    Gage (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Even with a lengthier turnaround for Sunday's game against the Panthers after the Falcons last played Thanksgiving Day, Gage is evidently still hurting to some degree. Now listed as a limited participant in back-to-back practices, Gage will likely need to graduate to full participation in Friday's session to avoid carrying a designation into the matchup with Carolina. Since taking over for the departed Mohamed Sanu as Atlanta's primary slot man in Week 8, Gage has averaged 7.4 targets per game.

  • Battling rib injury

    Gage was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gage is seemingly nicked up coming out of the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Saints, during which he tallied five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. With Julio Jones (shoulder), Calvin Ridley (toe), Austin Hooper (knee), Luke Stocker (back) and Jaeden Graham (thigh) all limited as well to begin the week, Gage could once again be facing a notable opportunity for targets if he's able to get fully healthy in time for Sunday's tilt with Carolina.

  • Tallies first career receiving TD

    Gage caught five of nine targets for 52 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 26-18 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The second-year receiver has become a staple in Atlanta's passing game over the past month, garnering 7.4 targets per game since Week 8, after commanding just eight total targets Weeks 1 through 7. The jettisoning of Mohamed Sanu to New England provided an opportunity for the LSU product to step up, and he's so far established a 70.3 percent catch rate with 48.2 receiving yards per game since first seeing his offensive snap share peak above 50 percent in Week 8. Targets will be more sparse…read more

  • Big day against Bucs secondary

    Gage caught eight of 10 targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 35-22 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout has been establishing himself as a deep-league consideration of late, accumulating 5.3 catches and 47.3 yards per game since Week 8 after managing fewer than one reception and 6.3 yards per game over his first seven appearances of the year. Gage's 76-yard day established a new career best for the former LSU Tiger, but it'd be surprising if he were able to produce a comparable or better output in his Thanksgiving Night matchup against New Orleans' top-12 pass defense on a…read more

  • Moderately involved in Week 11 win

    Gage caught two of four targets for 32 receiving yards during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Between the trade of Mohamed Sanu to New England and Sunday's matchup against Carolina, Gage had seen his offensive snap count increase from no higher than 22 percent between Weeks 1 through 7, to percentages of 57 and 62 during Atlanta's Week 8 and 10 losses to the Seahawks and Saints. While he's averaged a much-improved 37.7 receiving yards per game over his past three outings, Gage remains in search of his first career touchdown heading into a matchup against a Buccaneers pass defense that…read more

  • Makes impact in Week 10 win

    Gage compiled 23 receiving yards on four catches during Sunday's 26-9 win against New Orleans.

    Analysis: Gage's five targets trailed only Julio Jones' nine, as the second-year wideout tied Austin Hooper (knee) with a team-high four catches during Atlanta's upset triumph over the rival Saints. Hooper's status remains uncertain for Week 11, meaning Gage may benefit from increased involvement in the passing game with the Falcons going up against a Carolina defense that allowed zero passing touchdowns Sunday against Green Bay, while permitting only one Packers player -- Davante Adams -- to exceed 60…read more
