Dynasty Nerds

In 2022, the Atlanta Falcons finished their season better than many expected. They had a 7-10 record and had a shot at the playoffs as the NFC South division leader for most of the season. The Marcus Mariota experience lasted longer than it should have, and it let Desmond Ridder see less action as he only played the final four games of the season. While he didn’t impress much during his time, his season finale game was promising to go into next season. Rookie running back Tyler Allgeier had a quiet 1000-yard season showing he may be their primary back. Losing Kyle Pitts in the season hurt, but rookie Drake London did enough to show promise as the team’s number-one receiver. They played better than expected on the defensive side of the ball but still managed to bend way too often. Their top sack leader had six sacks, and their top interception leader had two on the season. Two of their rookies made a minimal impact, Arnold Ebiketie and Troy Anderson, and hope to take a step in 2023.
