Though he isn't playing as big of a role in the running game with Steven Jackson back in the lineup, Falcons running back Jacquizz Rodgers continues to give quarterback Matt Ryan a reliable target underneath when the Falcons are playing from behind.
After catching six passes for 25 yards in a 34-10 loss at the Panthers in Week 9, he had five for 28 in a 33-10 loss against the Seahawks in Week 10. He also led the team in rushing, finding a hole seemingly every time he gave Jackson a breather to finish with 31 yards on three carries.
Of Rodgers' five catches, three came in the second half, when the Falcons were passing virtually every play. His seven targets were second only to Harry Douglas' eight.
The Falcons visit the Buccaneers in Week 11.
