Fantasy managers and player proposition bettors are pessimistic about the potential of a high-scoring shootout between Falcons and Panthers on due to inclement wind and rain in the forecast.
Cordarrelle Patterson, Tyler Allgeier, Drake London, Kyle Pitts, D’Onta Foreman, D.J. Moore and Terrace Marshall will start in the majority of fantasy leagues as managers deal with four teams (Ravens, Bengals, Patriots, Jets) on bye.
When these two NFC South rivals met two weeks ago, they took part in an overtime shootout that resulted in a Falcons’ 37-34 victory.
Atlanta averages the fourth-most rushing yards (162.9) per game and faces a Panthers’ run defense surrendering the fifth-most rushing yards per game (139.3).
On the other sideline, PJ Walker makes his fifth straight start and finds an extremely favorable matchup against Atlanta’s 32nd-ranked pass defense surrendering the most passing yards (300) per game of any club on the year.
Can these clubs repeat the outstanding production witnessed in Week 8 in Thursday’s rematch? If you are opposed to wagering on the side or total, backing players from your own fantasy team to surpass their projections of score a touchdown can often result in an extremely profitable return on investment.

Week 10 Falcons vs. Panthers Player Prop InfoCordarrelle Patterson OVER 54.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
The versatile running back returned last week after missing five games due to a knee injury suffered in Week 4. Against the Chargers in Week 9, Patterson turned 13 carries into 44 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
While Patterson missed the Week 8 matchup, he averaged 65.5 total yards from scrimmage while scoring a touchdown in each game against the Panthers last year. The 10-year veteran is averaging 76.8 rushing yards per game this season and has been installed with a rushing yard projection on 54.5 yards. The Panthers have allowed seven running backs to surpass this projection in 2022.
Over the past two games, the second-year wideout has been on the field for 92% of the snaps and that has led to an increased target share with Marshall hauling in seven of 15 targets for 140 receiving yards and a touchdown. In the first meeting with Atlanta, the speedy wide receiver tallied a career-best 87 yards. Marshall should soar over this projection while facing the NFL’s worst pass defense.
Terrace Marshall OVER 18.5 Longest Reception (-108)
Against a Falcons’ defense that has allowed 19 wide receivers to exceed 35.5 receiving yards in a game this season, Marshall is worthy of our second ‘double-pop’ investment on . The former LSU standout, who is listed with a longest reception projection of 18.5 yards, has eclipsed this number in three consecutive games (21, 39, 20) due to his ever-growing rapport with Walker. Look for those trends to continue in Week 10.
