Atlanta Falcons
DST - Atlanta Falcons
This Week Outlook
Availability
The Falcons D/ST allowed 44 points, 270 passing yards, and 155 rushing yards in a 44-38 loss to the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
The Falcons failed to record a sack and logged just one takeaway in the loss Sunday. The 44 points allowed were the most given up in a game by the Falcons this season.
The Falcons D/ST allowed seven points on 234 total yards with two interceptions, a fumble recovery and three sacks on Sunday against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
The Falcons took full advantage of the matchup against Drew Lock and the Giants. They forced three turnovers, returning both interceptions back for a score. They likely won't be as reliable next week against the Commanders.
The Falcons' D/ST logged four sacks, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery while allowing just nine points in Monday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Atlanta's defense played really well on Monday night. They held Las Vegas' offense to just nine points over the course of the game, and they were also able to log several turnovers and big plays to help out the offense. This unit has another favorable matchup against the Giants coming up in Week 16.
The Falcons D/ST registered four sacks while failing to record a turnover in a 42-21 loss to the Vikings in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
The unit had no answers for slowing down a prolific Minnesota offense, allowing five touchdowns through the air on a forgettable day. The defense is only worth rostering as a streaming option against a dismal Las Vegas Raiders offense that will likely start backup quarterback Desmond Ridder against his former team in Week 15.
The Falcons D/ST allowed 10 points on 187 total yards with five sacks and a fumble recovery on Sunday against the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
One of the leagues worst pass rushes, Atlanta was able to pressure Justin Herbert all afternoon. It also didn't help that Kirk Cousins left them in some poor situations throwing four interceptions with one of them being taken to the house. It was a strong performance on Sunday, but the Falcons will still be tough to trust against the Vikings next week.
