  NFL | Jalen Collins suspended    Mon Apr 9, 04:41 PM

Free-agent CB Jalen Collins (Falcons) has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2018 season, according to a source.

Footballguys view: A second-round pick in 2015, Collins seems to be constantly suspended. He served a 10-game suspension in 2017, was cut by the Falcons and the league handed out another suspension after that. He just can't get on the right track and no team will take a chance on him until this suspension is served...and even then it has to be considered a long shot.

  Falcons | Jalen Collins suspended again for PEDs    Sun Aug 6, 03:55 PM

Atlanta Falcons CB Jalen Collins has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2017 season after violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances for the second time in as many years.

Footballguys view: Collins did Ok after he was suspended for a chunk of last season, and could have been in line for a little more time off the bench, but this puts the kibosh on that. Brian Poole benefits as he will now get more time as the nickel corner.

  Falcons | Atlanta CBs can move around    Wed Jul 5, 02:47 PM

Atlanta Falcons CBs Desmond Trufant, Robert Alford, Brian Poole and Jalen Collins all have the ability to play either outside cornerback or slot cornerback in the nickel formation, according to defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel.

Footballguys view: The Falcons are looking to add some more flexibility to their formations, and being able to shift players into different positions will help that. It also means players will be on the field more and that means they have more potential to produce fantasy points. We think Trufant and Alford will probably be the most consistent earners, but will know more about how much value everyone has as we see them more in camp.

  Falcons | Tevin Coleman among breakout candidates    Sun Apr 17, 09:15 PM

Atlanta Falcons RB Tevin Coleman, WR Justin Hardy, LB, Vic Beasley, DT Grady Jarrett, CB Jalen Collins and FS Robenson Therezie are the six players head coach Dan Quinn is counting on to elevate their games in 2016.

Footballguys view: Fantasy owners need to remember that Coleman began the 2015 season as the starter ahead of Devonta Freeman. This season, Freeman should be the lead back but Coleman is too talented to keep on the sideline. That's why the Falcons could use a RBBC with a near 50/50 split--directly impacting both RBs fantasy value.

  NFL | Jalen Collins had surgery    Mon Apr 27, 12:45 PM

Louisiana State CB Jalen Collins (foot) recently had surgery to fix an incomplete Jones fracture in his foot, which kept him from taking part in his school's pro day in March.

Footballguys view: In recent weeks, we've seen Collins' draft stock take a tumble..and this injury is a big reason why. His surgery was expected to keep him out only for roughly three weeks. Collins might be a second-round pick, but some team could take him higher based on his potential.
