The Facts: Delanie Walker left in the first half with an ankle injury. He is now questionable to return. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Jonnu Smith served as the starter last season with Walker out and will do so again until walker returns. If Walker misses time beyond this game, Smith will be worth look for teams in desperate need of tight end help.

The Facts: Matt Ryan left fr the locker room in the fourth quarter and will not return. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Sudden rulings for an injury are typically a bad sign but Ryan's may be a result of the score. The Falcons are down 27 to the Rams right now and there would be no reason for Ryan to return. Matt Schaub is under center in mop-up duty.

The Facts: The Ravens have ruled out Marquise Brown ahead of their matchup with Seattle. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: With Brown out, Willie Snead will be the team's primary receiver with a healthy dose of Miles Boykin in the mix. Mark Andrews, who saw eight targets last week with Brown inactive, is in line for a another good performance.

The Facts: Rex Burkhead has been downgraded to OUT for New England's matchup with the Jets. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: With Burkhead on the sidelines, James White gets a small boost in receptions while Sony Michel gets an increase in carries. However, neither gets a major upgrade because Brandon Bolden has played a role in the New England offense any time Burkhead has been sidelined.

The Facts: Kerryon Johnson has been ruled out for the remainder of the Lions' game versus the Vikings. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: With Johnson officially out, J.D. McKissic should see most of the receiving-game work out of the backfield while Ty Johnson handles touches between the tackles.

The Facts: Devonta Freeman was ejected after throwing a punch at Aaron Donald. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: With Ito Smith and Devonta Freeman out, the Falcons are down to Kenjon Barner and Brian Hill in their backfield. Brian Hill was a preseason standout and might be able to make something of his chance in the second half.

The Facts: Adam Thielen suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and will not return versus the Lions. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Stefon Diggs should take on a lot of volume in Thielen's absence. Olabisi Johnson, who caught a touchdown in the first half, will slot in as their No. 2 receiver. If Thielen is expected to miss additional weeks, Olabisi is a worthwhile add from the waiver wire.

The Facts: Kerryon Johnson is questionable to return with a knee injury. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: Kerryon Johnson was spotted on a stationary bike between drives. Johnson was wearing a new brace as well. If he can't return, Ty Johnson should get most of the team's rushing work while J.D. McKissic steps up as a talented pass-catching back on third down and two-minute drills.

The Facts: Ito Smith took a hit to the helmet and is now being evaluated for a head injury. Reported by Twitter.com

Diehards Line: If Smith's injury ends up being a concussion, it would be his second this season. The Falcons may exercise caution with his return. That would put Devonta Freeman in line for almost all of the Falcon's touches.
