2026 Atlanta Falcons Preview: Roster, Odds & Win Total
Andy Monitor and Drew Denzik break down the 2026 Atlanta Falcons, arguing the team is too broken at quarterback and on defense to compete meaningfully this season.
The gist
-
The quarterback situation is the core problem, with Tua Tagovailoa seen as diminished and Cooper Rush likely the starter.
-
Key pass rushers are out for the season or suspended, leaving the defensive front likely to rank in the bottom 5 for pressure.
-
Expensive offensive linemen like Lindstrom and Berseron are grading poorly in pass-blocking metrics despite their salaries.
-
In survivor pools, the hosts suggest fading the Falcons early by picking solid opponents before the public catches on.
