Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons enter 2026 with a fantasy-friendly core led by Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Michael Penix Jr., and the offense still has enough upside to matter if Penix takes a step forward in year two as the starter. Bijan remains the safest elite pick on the roster, while London is the top receiver to target because he is coming off a strong fantasy season even with Atlanta’s offense sometimes looking inconsistent.

Penix is the biggest swing factor for this team in fantasy, because his development will drive the ceiling of everyone around him, especially London and Kyle Pitts. Pitts remains a volatile TE option, but he still has a path to relevance if the quarterback play improves and Atlanta uses him more consistently in the passing game.

The backfield is still Bijan’s show, and the addition of Brian Robinson Jr. gives Atlanta a sturdier insurance option rather than a player who should threaten Bijan’s workload in a major way. On the receiver depth chart, Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus are useful depth pieces, but they are more waiver-wire types than reliable weekly starters in most fantasy formats.

The biggest late-summer fantasy note is health and availability: Trevor Siemian was released with an injury settlement, and several Falcons players were placed on PUP or NFI lists, including Jawaan Taylor, Billy Bowman Jr., DeAngelo Malone, Troy Andersen, Zach Harrison, and Anterio Thompson. Atlanta also made several roster cuts and transactions this offseason, including parting with Darnell Mooney and moving on from a few depth players, so the fantasy picture is much clearer now: build around Bijan, London, and Penix, treat Pitts as a high-variance TE2, and only draft the rest as depth or matchup-based options.
