Summary

Def / ST Rank: #10All Players: #180

The Falcons made some strides defensively last season, moving up to 12th overall for the season. Atlanta still struggled in pass defense (20th overall) but played better overall as a unit. The addition of cornerback Asante Samuel should help the pass defense even more this season. Brent Grimes and Samuel form a pretty good duo in the secondary for the Falcons. And if safety William Moore can stay healthy, the pass defense could be a strength. The Falcons had a bit of a down year rushing the passer but have the players in place to post some nice sack totals (i.e. John Abraham, Ray Edwards). The rush defense is stout for the Falcons with Corey Peters and Jordan Babineaux clogging the middle. The special teams are decent with Harry Douglas and Dominique Franks handling the return duties. Douglas is shifty in the open field with some big-play ability.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

The Falcons' defense continues to make strides, but still aren't an every-week starter for fantasy teams. Atlanta remains a spot play but are worthy of a platoon role for fantasy teams. They have some upside with an emerging secondary and a pass rush that can generate some sacks.
