Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Atlanta starts the year at Pittsburgh and at home versus the Panthers. Decent spot for an underrated unit that was a fringe top 12 unit in 2025. Just need more clarity on second-year EDGE rusher James Pearce Jr. and his availability for the upcoming season. Because otherwise, the projections love Atlanta as an underrated unit (second in projected sacks) after finishing last year second in that category.	Best turnover luck imaginable last season and still didn't finish as a top-12 unit in 2025.
