Falcons' Zachariah Branch: Sidelined by hamstring injury
Coach Kevin Stefanski noted Monday that Branch (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
The same applies to LB Samson Ebukam, with Josh Kendall of The Athletic relaying via Stefanski that either or both of the injured players could face multi-game absences. Through eight games thus far, Branch has caught 10 of his 12 targets for 64 yards. In the 2026 third-rounder's looming absence, Drake London, Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus will continue to lead Atlanta's WR corps, with Chris Blair in reserve.

Falcons' Chris Blair: No targets in Week 8
Blair went without a target while playing nine of the Falcons' 53 offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers.
Blair has been active for all eight of the Falcons' games this season, but the 29-year-old wideout has been scarcely involved on offense. He's thus far recorded just a six-yard reception on four targets, three of which came in Week 2. Blair should continue to suit up for the Falcons on gamedays but will provide most of his value on special teams.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Secures two catches in loss
Dotson caught two of five targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 16-0 loss to Tampa Bay.
Dotson and the rest of the Falcons offense were held in check for the majority of Sunday's loss. The wide receiver did provide Atlanta's biggest highlight play of the day, connecting with quarterback Michael Penix for a 76-yard gain on the team's final possession of the day in the fourth quarter. Dotson's 95 yards were a season high, and he has now reeled in 14 of 31 targets for 337 yards and two touchdowns over eight contests to open the 2026 regular season.

Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Locked down in Week 8
Pitts caught two of five targets for six yards during Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers.
Pitts was unable to make it four straight weeks with a touchdown, and he was held to two or fewer catches for the first time since Week 3 versus Green Bay. The tight end has exceeded 50 receiving yards just one time over eight contests to open the 2026 campaign, so fantasy managers are pretty reliant on him reaching the end zone. Pitts and the rest of the Falcons' offense will have a good chance to get back on track in Week 9 against the Bengals' inconsistent defense.

Falcons' Michael Penix: Nightmare afternoon in rainy conditions
Penix completed eight of 24 passes for 125 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing five times for 11 yards in the Falcons' 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Penix endured a career-worst all-around game in rainy conditions after coming into the afternoon with just one interception in his first five games. Only two of Penix's four picks led to Buccaneers points -- and just a pair of field goals at that -- but the Falcons defense was helpless against Tampa Bay's ground attack in the shutout. Sunday's conditions were a clear outlier, so Penix should be expected to bounce back across the pond in a Week 9 matchup against a vulnerable Bengals secondary next Sunday in Madrid.

Falcons' Drake London: Forgettable afternoon in loss
London brought in one of six targets for eight yards in the Falcons' 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Michael Penix was picked off four times by the Buccaneers' defense throughout the rainy afternoon while completing only 33.3 percent of his passes, so London's near career-worst numbers were a bit more understandable in that context. The talented wideout had come into the day with at least 62 receiving yards in five straight contests, and he should have a chance to bounce back when the Falcons face off with the Bengals in Madrid next Sunday.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Manages solid rushing total in shutout
Robinson rushed 19 times for 76 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Falcons' 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
It was a bizarre afternoon overall in very rain conditions in Tampa Bay, and Robinson managed to salvage his day with a solid rushing yardage total. Robinson's tally on the ground was actually his best since Week 5, although his streak of games without a rushing touchdown extended to four games. Robinson is still averaging 5.2 yards per carry on the season and is now up to 983 scrimmage yards and five total touchdowns heading into next Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Bengals in Madrid.

Falcons' Samson Ebukam: Unlikely to return vs. Tampa Bay
Ebukam (hamstring) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Ebukam may have aggravated the same hamstring injury that he was dealing with earlier in the season. Za'Darius Smith, Charles Snowden and Jared Ivey are all in line for more defensive snaps.

Falcons' Zachariah Branch: Hurts hamstring Sunday
Branch (hamstring) was forced out Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a hamstring injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Prior to that, Branch wasn't targeted in the contest. In his absence versus Tampa Bay, Drake London, Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and Chris Blair are available to handle Atlanta's WR duties.

Falcons' Drake London: Returns Sunday
London (head) returned to Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London hit the sideline to be tested for a possible concussion but has since been cleared to return to the contest. He had no catches (on two targets) at the time of his exit in the middle of the first quarter.

Falcons' Drake London: Possible concussion Sunday
London is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
QB Michael Penix was intercepted on a pass intended for London in the middle of the first quarter, after which the wide receiver hit the sidelines for the concussion check. London was sitting on no catches (on two targets) at the time of his departure.

Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Active versus Tampa Bay
Zaccheaus (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Zaccheaus didn't play in the Week 7 meeting with the 49ers due to a shoulder injury. He was limited during practice throughout the week, though it wasn't enough to avoid a questionable designation for Sunday's divisional clash with Tampa Bay. While the wideout was in danger of missing this contest, he will avoid a second consecutive absence. Zaccheaus has only four catches (11 targets) for 17 yards in six regular-season games in 2026. He also holds a role on special teams as a return man.

Falcons' Avieon Terrell: Cleared to return Sunday
Terrell (back/illness) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Terrell didn't play in Week 8 versus the 49ers, his first absence of the 2026 campaign. He practiced in a limited capacity during the week but still couldn't avoid a questionable designation for the divisional meeting with the Buccaneers. However, Terrell now has the green light to return from the one-game layoff, which will likely result in less work for C.J. Henderson (groin) and Mike Ford.

Falcons' Andy Dalton: Inactive, emergency QB in Week 8
Dalton is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, though he will be available as the team's emergency backup if necessary.
Dalton agreed to a deal with the Falcons in October. While the veteran signal-caller will be inactive for the Week 8 meeting against Tampa Bay, he will be eligible to play if Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
