Atlanta Falcons

Next up are the Atlanta Falcons, this is a team that always promises so much but over the last few years has been a massive disappointment. Matt Ryan is always talked up as one of the best QB's in the league but he is yet to show me he can carry a team into the post season.

One guy who I think will help them this season is Mohamed Sanu coming in from the Cincinati Bengals. Sanu will step in and become the second go to man for Ryan behind the star Julio Jones. Sanu had a pretty big year in 2014 but didn't follow it up in 2015 with only 33 receptions last year compared to 56 in 2014.

Devonta Freeman stepped it up in 2015 and is a real threat out of the back field. With his first start at RB he ran for 141 yards and scored 3 touchdowns. He was named as one of the Captains of the Pro Bowl teams. If he can repeat his work from 2015 he will be a bonafide star if he already is not.

On the defensive side of the ball there are still a few unknowns. Defensive End Vic Beasley has reportedly been moved to the Linebacker position. Beasley was chosen pick 8 in the 2015 draft but did not really live up to the hype with one strip sack on Cam Newton the real highlight.

Matt Ryan will be Matt Ryan, he will stay healthy and throw at a good rate without being spectacular. He will thou have Sanu and Jones healthy and ready to go. If they can get some help from Weems, Hardy and new comer Fuller at the WR position they might pass their output last season.

I have the Atlanta Falcons probably finishing 2nd in the NFC South along way behind the Panthers at 6 - 10 thats if they can pick up a win against the Chiefs late in the season. They will only beat fellow NFC South teams and maybe the Eagles and Chargers.
