Atlanta Falcons D/ST A Great Play Week 1
3 months agoAtlanta Falcons D/ST is a great play in Week 1 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Justin Fields will draw the start against the Falcons, with Russell Wilson (calf) expected to be rested for the season opener. Either way, the Falcons should be started against the turnover-happy Fields. The Steelers lack anything to strike fear into any defense's eyes this season. After Diontae Johnson was traded in the offseason, George Pickens remains the only proven player in the receiving room. Of course, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren aren't exactly scary a running back duo. The Falcons added stud rusher Matthew Judon to strengthen up that D-line, so look for them to be a force to be reckoned with in this Week 1 matchup at home. Atlanta can be used as a streamer for the regular season opener and RotoBaller's D/ST 11 in the latest team defense rankings.
