Atlanta Falcons won't be resting their starters either

The Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints just played each other two days ago and may meet again for a third time this season in the playoffs. Both teams play relatively meaningless games this week -- the Saints have very little chance of gaining a first-round bye while the Falcons will either be the fifth or sixth seed. But regardless, Saints head coach Sean Payton is talking like a man who will treat this week like any other week. And it sounds like Falcons head coach Mike Smith is going to do the same.
"Our preparation week is going to be no different than any other week," Smith said on Wednesday. "We know there are some things that are set in concrete. We know we'll be playing the following week. We don't know who or where or when and we've just got to go through our normal preparation and prepare to beat Tampa Bay. ... That's our entire focus this week. We're not thinking about the second season."

Fantasy Analysis:

The Falcons have an outstanding matchup against a Bucs defense that just wants to get this lost season over with. Maybe I'm gullible, but it sounds like you're free to roll with Matt Ryan @M_Ryan02, Michael Turner, Roddy White @roddywhiteTV, Julio Jones @juliojones_11 and Tony Gonzalez @TonyGonzalez88 as you normally would.
