Dante Fowler Lands On Injured Reserve
3 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons placed edge rusher Dante Fowler (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday, meaning that he will miss at least the next three games. Losing Fowler will be a significant blow to an already shaky Falcons defense, and they will have to lean more on rookie Ade Ogundeji in the coming weeks. Jacob Tuioti-Mariner will also see increased playing time off the edge opposite Steven Means, with Brandon Copeland being another option. Fowler leads the Falcons this year with two sacks, two forced fumbles and 13 QB pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. Atlanta ranks 29th in the NFL through six games with just nine sacks, and they won't be a recommended streaming option in fantasy in Week 7, even against the Miami Dolphins.
