Kirk Cousins is the consensus #18 QB, and as such isn't worth drafting in 1QB leagues. In 2QB and superflex leagues, he's a fine choice for your second quarterback.

Bijan Robinson is a fair value at his ADP of 7 as the consensus #8 overall player. At a projected workload of 13.2 carries and 4.1 receptions per game, Robinson is an every-week fantasy starter. He's the top dog among running backs in Atlanta, with Tyler Allgeier and Jase McClellan behind him. Atlanta has the 6th-best schedule for running backs.

As the consensus #143 overall player, Tyler Allgeier is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 160.

Kyle Pitts is worth drafting at his ADP of 64 as the consensus #76 overall player. Atlanta has the 16th-best tight end schedule.

The market has Damien Williams correctly valued at an ADP of 281, compared to an overall ECR of 235. At a projected workload of 6.1 touches per game (4.8 carries and 1.3 receptions), Williams won't be a reliable source of fantasy points.

With a projection of 0.9 touches per game (0.5 carries and 0.4 receptions), Keith Smith is not fantasy-relevant. He's behind both Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier on the running back chart for the Falcons.

As our consensus #29 QB, Marcus Mariota isn't really relevant in 1QB leagues. Dispite his low rank, his role as the starting QB for the Falcons means he should be owned in 2QB leagues.Mariota is expected to earn 22% of his projected 213 fantasy points by rushing. That's a substantial portion of his fantasy value, and could give him a more stable floor than similarly-ranked QBs. With a projection of 11.3 interceptions compared to 15.8 passing touchdowns, he carries more interception risk than is comfortable.

Desmond Ridder won't begin the season as the Falcons' starting QB - that honor belongs to Marcus Mariota. You can safely leave him on the waiver wire.

Projected for 4.6 interceptions compared to 5.1 passing TDs, he carries more interception risk than is comfortable.

Cordarrelle Patterson is a fair value at his ADP of 80 as the consensus #99 overall player. With a projection of 11.2 touches per game (8.6 carries and 2.7 receptions), Patterson will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He leads Tyler Allgeier and Damien Williams on Atlanta's depth chart. The Falcons have the 3rd-worst schedule for RBs.
