According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Falcons will be placing Pro Bowl safety Keanu Neal on season-ending injured reserve with a torn ACL that he suffered in Thursday night's loss to the Eagles. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
This is a brutal blow to IDP leagues, as Neal was one of the top defensive backs off the board, but it also trickles down to traditional leagues, as the Falcons defense will drop-off dramatically. You saw the Eagles struggling to move the ball with Neal on the field throughout the first half, but once he left the game, their offense came to life. The Falcons defense is going to be one to target in fantasy matchups.
