  Panthers | Kevin Cone to visit    Wed Mar 19, 09:03 PM

The Carolina Panthers will host free-agent WR Kevin Cone (Falcons) Friday, March 21.

Footballguys view: The Panthers are desperate for wide receiver help. Currently, Tavarres King and Marvin McNutt sit atop the depth chart in Carolina. If Cone was added, he would be primarily a special teams contributor.

  Falcons | Roddy White out    Fri Oct 18, 03:18 PM

Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (ankle, hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 7.

Footballguys view: Tony Gonzalez is the only viable fantasy play in the Falcons passing game. That includes Matt Ryan, whose ceiling is very limited with such inexperienced and likely overwhelmed wide receivers this week.

  Falcons | Kevin Cone, Drew Davis have edge for roster spots    Fri Jul 19, 03:12 PM

Atlanta Falcons WRs Kevin Cone and Drew Davis appear to have an edge for the No. 4 and 5 wide receiver spots on the roster because they have some experience with the team.

Footballguys view: Who? Exactly. The Falcons have very little proven depth at wide receiver after Julio Jones, Roddy White, and Harry Douglas. Cone and Davis know the system and could be deep sleepers if injuries strike two of those three, but Tony Gonzalez would also become a focus of the passing game in that case. The Falcons could also look to poach a promising young receiver that a team tries to slip to the practice squad in final cuts before the season.

  Falcons | Week 11 Inactives    Sun Nov 18, 11:42 AM

The Atlanta Falcons have declared SS Charles Mitchell, QB Dominique Davis, WR Kevin Cone, OT Lamar Holmes, OG Phillip Manley, LB Sean Weatherspoon, DL Travian Robertson inactive for Week 11.

Footballguys view: Julio Jones is active, although some reports have him possibly limited in his snaps and effectiveness. He caught a bomb last week after suffering the ankle injury and played well when hurt in college. Unless you have a strong top 20-25 type option to plug in ahead of Jones, leave him in your lineup.

  Falcons | Several WRs in mix for jobs    Mon Jun 18, 11:09 PM

The Atlanta Falcons have WRs Julio Jones and Roddy White as starters, and WR Harry Douglas is likely entrenched as the third receiver. However, after that, the competition for jobs is wide open. WRs Michael Calvin, Kevin Cone, Drew Davis and Kerry Meier are expected to battle for the fourth receiver job, with WRs Marcus Jackson, Cody Pearcy, James Rodgers and Kenny Stafford also in the hunt for a roster spot.

Footballguys view: After Douglas there are a lot of unproven (but talented) WRs on the Falcons roster. We like Meier the best out of the group if he can stay healthy. The converted college QB is a very good route runner and knows how to find the soft spots in the zone. He could be a trusted option for QB Matt Ryan in spread formations.
