News

  • 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

  • Busy during Week 8 loss

    Gage hauled in seven of nine targets for 58 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout has seen his fantasy value escalate massively by virtue of Mohamed Sanu's trade to New England, as he had nine passes thrown his way after attracting eight total targets through the first seven weeks of the regular season. Given that Atlanta's defense has conceded 27-plus points in five of its past six outings, the offense is frequently throwing in the second halves of games to keep pace. Such a scenario facilitates a third fantasy-relevant option at wide receiver, and…read more

  • May get first shot to replace Sanu

    Assistant head coach Raheem Morris said Thursday that Gage has received the first crack at filling in for the departed Mohamed Sanu in the slot during practices this week, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Both Gage and Justin Hardy are likely in line for elevated roles on offense following Tuesday's trade that sent Sanu to the Patriots, but Morris' comments suggest the former has the early edge on seeing the most work in three-wideout sets alongside Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Though Sanu earned six targets per game through the Falcons' first seven games, Gage won't necessarily be in store for that sort of volume. Instead, expect the Falcons to spread Sanu's vacated targets among a number of…read more

  • Moving up depth chart

    Gage has elevated up the Falcons' depth chart at wide receiver following the Tuesday morning trade of Mohamed Sanu, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout tallied his fourth reception of 2019 during Sunday's loss to the Rams, but his muffed punt proved costly as it resulted in a fumble recovery touchdown for Darious WIlliams and the Rams. Gage has played between 14 and 22 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps in every game thus far this season but likely will see an uptick in offensive involvement now that Mohamed Sanu and his six targets per game are no longer in the mix.

  • Nabs pass in loss

    Gage caught one of two targets for a 13-yard gain during Sunday's 37-10 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: After fading following the opener, Gage has now logged a catch in three consecutive games with multiple targets in two of those contests. That's probably not enough to get you excited about Gage's prospects. Even with a so-so Seattle pass defense on deck for Sunday, Matt Ryan's (ankle) uncertain availability should further steer you away from Gage.

  • Log first catch since opener

    Gage hauled in one of two targets for 12 receiving yards during Sunday's 53-32 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout was able to bounce back quickly from a concussion suffered in the season opener against Minnesota, suiting up in all four of Atlanta's games since but never getting more than one offensive touch or fielding even 25 percent of the offensive snaps. Neither Gage or Justin Hardy has emerged as the Falcons' No. 4 option at wide receiver, as Atlanta gets set for a Week 6 matchup against an Arizona secondary that has held up reasonably well in Patrick Peterson's (suspension)…read more

  • No offensive impact against Eagles

    Gage was targeted once but did not record a reception during Sunday's 24-20 win against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Gage was active for a key Week 2 showdown against the Eagles but only played 14 percent of the offensive snaps after suffering a concussion during the season opener against Minnesota. He'll continue to serve as Atlanta's No. 4 or 5 option at wideout in a Week 3 road trip to Indianapolis, as the Falcons take on a Colts defense that held Marcus Mariota to 154 passing yards in its last time out after getting lit up by Philip Rivers for 333 yards and three touchdowns the previous game.

  • Gearing up Sunday

    Gage (concussion) will play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

    Analysis: Gage went into concussion protocol after Week 1's contest versus the Eagles, but he made a quick recovery. His offensive contributions will remain limited behind the Falcons' stacked wideout corps.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Gage (concussion) is considered questionable for Sunday's Week 2 matchup with Philadelphia, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gage was unable to practice Wednesday but managed to get in a limited participation in Thursday's session. If the 23-year-old isn't able to suit up Sunday, Olamide Zaccheaus would be most likely to pick up any extra reps.

  • Limited in practice Thursday

    Gage (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gage will need to fully clear the league's concussion protocol before retaking the field. The second-year pro appears to be recovering well, though it remains to be seen whether he'll suit up versus the Eagles on Sunday. Justin Hardy will serve as the No. 4 receiver in Atlanta if Gage is forced to miss any time.

    Gage (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gage suffered a head injury during Sunday's loss against the Vikings and will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before retaking the field. If Gage is forced to miss any time, Justin Hardy will slot in as the No. 4 wideout in Atlanta.

  • Out for rest of game

    Gage (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Vikings, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gage took a hard hit to the head in the first half and he didn't return after halftime. His day is done, and this leaves the Falcons with four healthy receivers, and Justin Hardy will bump up to No. 4 on the depth chart. Gage will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before he can play again.

  • Leaves Sunday's game

    Gage left Sunday's game against the Vikings and is being evaluated for a possible concussion, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gage was on the wrong end of a hard hit to the head in the second quarter of the game. Expect the team to have more official news as the 2018 sixth-round pick goes through tests. Justin Hardy will move up the depth chart as the fourth receiver as long as Gage is sidelined.

  • Could play offensive role Sunday

    Head coach Dan Quinn said that Gage will get "more extended work" this week, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In a scenario in which Julio Jones sits out Week 1 because his contract situation remains unresolved, Gage has an opportunity to see an uptick in usage. Atlanta is optimistic that it can agree to a deal with its six-time Pro Bowl receiver by the time Sunday rolls around, but if not, Gage would be a top candidate to get snaps at the "X" receiver position, as McClure mentioned in his report that the 23-year-old wideout lined up in that spot frequently throughout the preseason.

    Gage will miss Thursday's preseason contest against Washington with a hip injury, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gage originally sustained the injury in last week's matchup with the Jets, although head coach Dan Quinn said the 23-year-old avoided any structural damage. It's still seemingly unclear how serious the injury is or how much longer Gage will have to rest, but Justin Hardy and Devin Gray will each likely see more work in the meantime.

  • Leaves game with hip injury

    Gage was forced out of Thursday's preseason matchup with the Jets due to a hip injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gage managed to corral one catch for 11 yards on two targets before having to leave the game. It's unclear how serious the injury is. The timing of the injury is certainly unfortunate, as the 23-year-old was trying to build momentum off an impressive performance against the Dolphins last week. With Gage sidelined, Justin Hardy and Devin Gray figure to see some extra reps.

  • Difference maker against Phins

    Gage corralled three of four targets, accumulating 33 receiving yards during Thursday's 34-27 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Gage made a gorgeous leaping reception on Matt Schaub's first pass attempt of the night that picked up 15 yards, and moments later, slipped past two defenders to move the chains on an important third-down play. The second-year man out of LSU doesn't lead his team in receptions thus far this preseason, but he's proved to be one of Atlanta's more explosive playmakers when the ball is in his hands, with 13.5 yards per catch through two outings. There's still much to play out between now and Week…read more

  • Looking strong in minicamp

    Head coach Dan Quinn said that Gage's ability to contribute on both offense and special teams makes him "more valuable" heading into the 2019 season, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gage suited up for 15 games during his rookie season, with 82 percent of his 340 total snaps coming on special teams. Coach Quinn complimenting Gage's versatility is an encouraging sign, but rookie Marcus Green (hamstring) could push him for a Week 1 roster spot if the team elects to keep less than six receivers. The top four slots in the receiving corps are locked down between Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Mohamed Sanu and Justin Hardy, with Gage and Green being the most likely candidates to…read more

  • Two receptions in season finale

    Gage hauled in both of his targets, collecting 14 receiving yards during Sunday's 34-32 win against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The versatile rookie out of LSU failed to impress as a pass catcher, with just six receptions for 63 yards across 15 games. He did, however, make his presence felt on special teams where he played gunner for a Falcons unit that allowed 6.8 yards per punt return in 2018, the eighth-best mark in the NFL. In his sophomore campaign, Gage will continue to be a factor on special teams, though he's unlikely to see much involvement on offense with the Falcons' three best wideouts -- Julio Jones,…read more

  • First career multi-catch outing

    Gage caught two of four targets, collecting 33 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-14 win against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The sixth-round draft choice out of LSU has three receptions for 40 yards over his past three games, compared to one catch for nine yards through Week 12. Gage has been scarcely deployed as a receiver this year, with 219 of his 238 snaps coming on special teams entering Sunday. But with the team now mathematically eliminated from the playoff race, Atlanta may elect to provide young backups like Gage with some valuable regular-season reps in what has been a lost 2018. In Week 16, he'll look to…read more

  • One catch in loss to Baltimore

    Gage reeled in his lone target for a gain of seven yards during Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The rookie sixth-round draft choice is a project, but Atlanta hopes that with enough coaching and repetition, the former collegiate defensive back can transform into a viable contributor on special teams coverage, with occasional spot duty as a slot receiver. If there's any single demonstration of the Falcons' intentions for him, it's that 201 of his 214 snaps this season have come on special teams. With limited offensive opportunity, Gage has caught both of his targets, logging 16 receiving…read more
