Offseason In Review: Atlanta Falcons

Winners of seven games in four of the past five seasons, the Falcons have both overachieved talent-wise — during the Arthur Smith years, at least — while largely hovering off the radar.

Taylor Heinicke Solidifies Status As Backup

Heinicke completed 13 of his 21 passes, throwing for 162 yards. He also made a 28-yard completion to J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, setting up the only touchdown of the game for the Falcons. While Heinicke still needs to synchronize with his new teammates, he proves to be a reliable backup for Ridder.

Last season, Marcus Mariota struggled to connect with Kyle Pitts and Drake London on chunk plays, so it's a worrisome development. Ridder could have sneaky fantasy value with rushing upside and high-level weapons, but the second-year player likely won't have a ton of job security if he struggles out of the gate.
