The Atlanta Falcons Defense is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for the D/ST position. Target them as a free agent add off waivers for Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: After two games in double-digits against the Saints and Jets, the Falcons’ DST put up a goose egg against the Buccaneers in Week 14. But, Atlanta is in a “get-right” matchup in Week 15 against the 32nd-ranked Panthers and rookie QB Bryce Young.

Carolina sports a horrid offensive line and no skill-position players to fear. The unraveling squad has descended to the level where you are starting the majority of DSTs against them, and that includes the Falcons in Week 15. The Panthers’ season-long POA allowed is +3.5 PPG, but they’ve allowed a POA of 5.6 PPG over the last five games and +5.9 PPG over the last three games. Fantasy managers in 12+ team leagues should target the Falcons on the waiver wire, as they rank right on our top-10 borderline against Carolina in Week 15.

It's hard to find players that will be consistently good moving forward, though.
