NFL Preview: Atlanta Falcons

QB: B Matt Ryan sure did make people forget about Ron Mexico's side business quickly enough. He just can't play that well again but he should still be above average. Backup Chris Redmen is pretty good do.

RB: A Michael Turner made San Diego look foolish and some fantasy owners look brilliant. Had a lot of carries last year but hardly any in the previous years so it should be a wash. FANTASY TIP! Turner can't catch anything so if you're in a PPR league, look elsewhere.

WR: B+ Michael Jenkins and Roddy White finally are playing to their potential. I guess it helps to have a QB that can throw. Harry Douglas is out for the year though so depth is lacking.

TE: B+ I'd give it an A but I really can't stand Tony Gonzalez. Thank God he left KC, now my beloved Raiders can get burned by someone else.

OL: C- These guys are sketchy. They must be good zone blockers but they need to keep Ryan conscious to be successful.

DL: B Jamal Anderson and John Abraham should be able to get pressure on the outside but the DT's are a little weak.

LB: C Whoa, who are these guys? Mike Peterson is probably the best but he's getting a little long in the tooth.

DB: C It could be worse, they could still have DeAngelo Hall.

P/K: B Good to see another Raider killer like Jason Elam somewhere besides Denver.

COACHING: A Last year could've been a nightmare after the whole Vick thing and the Bobby Petrino escapade but things turned out fine.

BEST CASE SCENARIO: 12-4, FIRST in the SOUTH. Weak division.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: 6-10, LAST in the SOUTH. Turner proves to be a one year wonder, Roddy White turns into OchoCinco and Matt Ryan starts up a cockfighting ring.
