Atlanta Falcons
DST - Atlanta Falcons
Availability
The Falcons D/ST allowed 27 points on 269 yards with two sacks on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Atlanta was solid on the defensive side of the ball, but they didn't force any turnovers with two sacks. They'll draw Sam Darnold and the Seahawks next week at home in Atlanta.
The Falcons' D/ST logged five sacks, one interception, and one fumble recovery while allowing just ten points in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Atlanta's defense took advantage of a favorable matchup on Sunday. They held New Orleans' offense to just ten points on the afternoon, which helped to lead the Falcons to a comfortable win on the road. They were also able to log a number of big plays to add to their already-strong fantasy total, which should be to the delight of anyone who started this unit.
Atlanta DST had 5 sacks in Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but allowed 30 points in the overtime defeat.
Fantasy Impact
Like in Week 3, the Falcons DST gave up exactly 30 points to the Panthers. The five sacks gave fantasy managers some production, but nothing special. Despite giving up 30 points, the Atlanta DST will be a good streaming matchup for Week 12 against the Saints and rookie quarterback Tyler Shough.
The Falcons defense surrendered 31 points on 519 yards of offense but came up seven sacks and two turnovers in Sunday's overtime loss to the Colts.
Fantasy Impact
By the time Sunday's game ended in overtime with a Jonathan Taylor TD run, the Falcons' defensive unit appeared completely gassed. Taylor spearheaded the Indy attack, amassing 286 yards and three touchdowns of his own. Despite the final tally, the Falcons did come up with plenty of big plays, recording seven sacks and forcing a couple of turnovers. The Falcons D/ST could be a solid option at home against the Panthers in Week 11.
The Falcons D/ST allowed 259 passing yards, 110 rushing yards, and 24 points in a 24-23 loss to the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
The Falcons' defense tallied six sacks, one interception, and one fumble recovery in the loss. The defense did a solid job stopping the run and did enough to put the team in position to win. The Falcons' defense will take on a Colts' offense in Week 10 that struggled in Week 9 against the Steelers.
