The Atlanta Falcons will have both Devin Hester and Harry Douglas available as they take on the Carolina Panthers in an NFC South showdown on the week 11 NFL schedule.
Finally, people are saying. Finally there are some NFL games that are worth watching. It only took until week 11 to have more than a couple games that are actually intriguing and worth watching.

But if you have gotten used to blowouts, bad games, and a general feeling of sadness around NFL games this season, then the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers have got you covered. Tune in if you wish, or if you dare.
These teams might actually be playoff contenders, kinda, simply by virtue of playing in the terrible NFC South. Because it will only take seven, shoot, maybe six wins to win that division, these teams are not out of contention just yet. That makes this week 11 game meaningful, even if it’s not a game involving two good teams.
On Atlanta’s side of things, they will have to win with offense like always; they certainly aren’t going to start getting stops on defense all of a sudden. They received good news on Sunday morning, then, as wide receivers Devin Hester and Harry Douglas are both expected to play despite lingering injuries for both:
Hester has 268 yards receiving, one touchdown, and another return touchdown this season. Douglas has 163 yards receiving and one touchdown.
