Top Falcons News

Falcons' Brandon Parker: Finds new home
Parker signed a contract with the Falcons on Tuesday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Parker was most recently with the 49ers after spending the first five seasons of his career with the Raiders. The 28-year-old will most likely be tasked with bolstering the depth of Atlanta's offensive line.

Falcons' Avery Williams: Works exclusively on special teams
Williams returned two punts for 28 yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Williams didn't see any offensive snaps in Week 1, as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier handled all the RB duties. While Williams appears to be the No. 1 punt returner, WR Ray-Ray McCloud took all of Atlanta's kick returns versus Pittsburgh.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Operates as slot CB
Alford mustered two tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
With Mike Hughes moving outside, Alford has stepped up as the Falcons' starting slot CB in 2024. Alford played 31 defensive snaps in Week 1, which isn't enough to generate IDP value. The Steelers don't run many three-wideout sets anymore, so Alford may see more snaps when Atlanta faces a more pass-happy team.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Makes minor splash in debut
Judon registered five tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Making his Falcons debut, Judon played 46 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps. He was quiet for most of the game, but on third-and-13 in the fourth quarter, Judon combined with Grady Jarrett to sack Justin Fields for an eight-yard loss. The Falcons' pass rush has been a major concern for years, and Judon is expected to remedy that. However, he's still learning a new system, so he may not see enough pass-rushing snaps to generate strong IDP value for a few weeks.

Falcons' Troy Andersen: Splits time in return
Andersen managed five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Andersen appeared in only two games last season due to a pectoral injury, but he's back to full strength and ready to make an impact. Kaden Elliss played all 68 defensive snaps in Week 1, while Andersen split time with Nate Landman at the other ILB spot. Andersen also played 16 special-teams snaps, suggesting his limited work on defense wasn't due to a conditioning issue. If Andersen continues to split time, it'll be hard for him to generate IDP value. However, he's a playmaking linebacker who could rack up stats quickly if given an expanded opportunity.

Falcons' David Onyemata: Clear starter in Week 1
Onyemata produced two tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Onyemata played 43 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps in Week 1, a solid amount for a 300-pound DT, but his production was lackluster. Onyemata finished with a career-high 50 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, last season, but he may face more double teams this season, as Atlanta's switch to a 3-4 defense may leave him alone in the middle of the trenches more often.

Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Team-high nine stops
Elliss posted nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Picking up where he left off last season, Elliss was a tackle machine versus the Steelers. He played all 68 defensive snaps, while Troy Andersen and Nate Landman split time at the other ILB spot in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Given his role in Week 1, Elliss should be a premier IDP option moving forward. Elliss posted 122 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and three pass defenses last year, his first with the Falcons.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Posts seven tackles in Week 1
Hughes registered seven solo tackles during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Hughes was Atlanta's slot cornerback last season, but he's shifted outside this year, operating as the No. 2 CB opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes was briefly benched for Clark Phillips in Week 1, and Kevin King, who was up from the practice squad, also saw two defensive snaps, so it's unclear how safe Hughes' starting role is. Regardless, Hughes played 57 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps and will have some IDP value as long as he's on the field that often.

Falcons' Grady Jarrett: Makes presence felt in Week 1
Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Jarrett mustered only 1.5 sacks across eight appearances before tearing his ACL last year, but he's back to full strength and making his presence felt in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Jarrett recorded a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2019, but since then, he's totaled just 12.5 sacks over his last four seasons.

Falcons' Charlie Woerner: Generates two targets in Week 1
Woerner caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Known for his blocking prowess, Woerner isn't expected to be involved in the passing game very often. In four seasons with San Francisco, Woerner caught 11 passes (15 targets) for 120 yards. Starting tight end Kyle Pitts played 54 offensive snaps in Week 1, securing all three of his targets for 26 yards and a TD, while Woerner saw only 23 snaps on offense.

Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Quiet in Falcons debut
Mooney caught one of three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Mooney operated as the No. 2 wideout, playing 53 of 56 offensive snaps. However, Mooney and Drake London (two receptions for 15 yards) were kept quiet, as Ray-Ray McCloud led Atlanta's wideouts in receiving. Mooney's snap share is promising, but the Falcons' offense will need to find their rhythm for Mooney to generate fantasy-relevant numbers. This was Kirk Cousins' first game since his Achilles injury, as the veteran surprisingly didn't see any action during the preseason. Cousins' comfort level in OC Zac Robinson's scheme will likely be the key factor in Mooney's fantasy value this season.

Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Team-high seven targets
McCloud caught four of seven targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. He also returned two kickoffs for 56 yards.
McCloud surprisingly had more targets and receptions than No. 1 wideout Drake London, who finished with two catches on three targets for 15 yards. McCloud played 30 offensive snaps, operating as the WR3 behind London (56) and Darnell Mooney (53). Given his snap share, McCloud isn't likely to lead Atlanta in receiving regularly but should continue to see a handful of targets per game, especially if opposing defenses divert most of their attention to London. McCloud's career-high numbers came in 2021 when playing for the Steelers, totaling 39 receptions (66 targets) for 277 yards. The veteran has caught only one touchdown in his seven-year career.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Minor role in Week 1 loss
Allgeier rushed three times for 21 yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Allgeier played only 10 offensive snaps while starting running back Bijan Robinson saw 50. Allgeier remains a strong handcuff, but despite optimistic reports about Allgeier's role this offseason, the latter's Week 1 usage suggests that's all the fantasy value he'll have this season under new OC Zac Robinson. Allgeier averaged 12 touches per outing in 2023 despite a season-low six in Week 17, but he had a 75-yard receiving TD in that game. Barring an injury to Bijan, Allgeier will have a tough time replicating that production in 2024.
