Atlanta Falcons D/ST A Must-Sit In Week 2
3 months agoAtlanta Falcons D/ST held the Steelers to only field goals in Week 1 and racked up two sacks. The new defense led by Matthew Judon was excellent despite the loss, but heading into Week 2, they are an easy sit/drop for all fantasy managers. They face a Philadelphia Eagles team on Monday night who scored 34 points in Week 1, led by their new offensive weapon, Saquon Barkley, who found the end zone three times last Friday night in Brazil. However, the Eagles could be without star wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), who is questionable with a hamstring injury. Even if Brown is sidelined, the Falcons potentially could be down early and often in this one, with the likes of Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, and Barkley lining up on the opposite side, making the decision not to play them in Week 2 a pretty easy one. RotoBaller Week 2 DST rankings are onboard benching Atlanta's defense and have them ranked 27th among all DSTs in Week 2.
