Caleb Huntley was waived by the Falcons, the former Ball St. RB had been recovering from an Achilles injury.

Fantasy Impact

Huntley, who had been in a backup role in Atlanta last year as an undrafted rookie, was released on Tuesday. This move is not overly surprising as the Falcons spent top-10 draft capital on Texas standout Bijan Robison. If Huntley does get signed elsewhere, it is likely he will find himself on a practice squad or in a low-end depth chart role. He does not belong on fantasy rosters to begin the 2023 season.

Caleb Huntley will miss the remainder of the season after suffering an Achilles injury.

Fantasy Impact

Caleb Huntley is officially active for the Falcons’ Week 12 matchup with Washington.

Caleb Huntley (ankle) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable to play in Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

Huntley has offered valuable depth at the running back position, totaling 332 rushing yards and one touchdown over his last eight games. Still, he's buried on the depth chart behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier and can be left on waivers in most formats.

Caleb Huntley rushed seven times for 34 yards in Atlanta's Week 9 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Huntley was fairly efficient running the ball at 4.9 yards per attempt, though was ultimately out-carried by both Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier. He is unlikely to see sufficient usage going forward to remain on fantasy rosters. The Falcons will have a rematch with the Panthers on Thursday night for Week 10.
