Atlanta Falcons

Fantasy Impact

This was another week in which the Falcons' defense was terrible. This will be their standard in 2021. You can not trust them in fantasy.

The Atlanta Falcons D/ST surrendered 434 total yards and 32 points in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

The Jalen Hurts-led Eagles offense had their way with the Falcons. Atlanta's defense had no answers for what the Eagles brought to the table. It won't get any easier for Atlanta. They get the Buccaneers in Week 2.

Per sources, the Atlanta Falcons have received multiple trade offers for the Number 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are “open to moving” out of that slot if the price is right.

Fantasy Impact

With the top three teams locked in to their draft slots, the Falcons have become willing to trade the Number 4 overall pick to a team that likely covets one of the top quarterbacks in the Draft. Atlanta has reportedly received multiple trade offers for the pick to this point.

The Atlanta Falcons are hiring former Titans OC Arthur Smith as their next head coach.

Fantasy Impact

This is a well deserved promotion for Smith, who bring a modern offensive philosophy to his new home. Atlanta still has plenty of talent on offense and Smith will now be tasked with unlocking it. The organization also has the No. 4 overall pick in the draft. Perhaps Smith will want to draft Matt Ryan's successor.

The Atlanta Falcons D/ST surrendered 485 total yards and 44 points in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

The Tampa offense led by Tom Brady continues to roll over tier opponents. Meanwhile, Atlanta's defense will end the season on a note to forget. Despite a slew of talent, the Falcons' defense under performed in 2020 and will look to rebuild for 2021.
