ATLANTA FALCONS NEWS

Mykal Walker - Records first interception of 2022 Walker recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one interception during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

Impact Walker intercepted a pass intended for Copper Kupp around midfield and returned it 21 yards to set up the Falcons' first touchdown of the game. Across two games, the third-year linebacker has recorded 13 tackles, giving him a solid floor in IDP formats, but he's also displayed his playmaking skills by adding a pick in Week 2 after notching a sack and forced fumble in the season opener.

Tyler Allgeier - Earns backfield split Allgeier carried the ball 10 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

Impact Allgeier was inactive in Week 1, but he made his regular-season debut and tied for the team lead in carries. He worked into the offense early on, tallying three carries on the team's opening drive. Allgeier didn't look particularly explosive, but he could work on early downs and around the goal line moving forward.

Marcus Mariota - Slowed by Rams Mariota completed 17 of 26 passes for 196 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams. He added six rushes for 16 yards.

Impact Mariota moved the Atlanta offense early on but saw drives stall prior to reaching the end zone. After the Rams took a 28-3 lead, he managed to lead a substantial comeback with touchdown tosses of four and 11 yards. The disappointing part of his performance came in the form of three turnovers -- he lost a fumble in addition to his interceptions -- and his lack of production on the ground. Nevertheless, Mariota has shown the ability to lead the Falcons' offense effectively as they head into a Week 3 matchup against Seattle.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Slips into split backfield Patterson carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

Impact After handling 22 carries in Week 1, it was unclear just how heavy of a load Patterson would take on in Week 2. He split carries exactly evenly with rookie Tyler Allgeier, though Patterson worked more efficiently with his opportunity. It was always unlikely that the Falcons would treat Patterson as a true workhorse back, but the more concerning part of his usage Sunday was that he was targeted only once. If that lack of involvement in the passing game continues, Patterson's potential value to fantasy managers diminishes significantly.
