Antonio Hamilton - Doesn't practice Thursday Hamilton (groin) was a DNP for Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hamilton popped up on the Falcons' injury report leading up to Week 1 against the Steelers, which he ended up being ruled out for. His DNP to start the week doesn't bode well for his chances of playing against the Eagles in Week 2, but he has two more opportunities to practice in some capacity. Hamilton appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2023, finishing with 40 tackles (29 solo), 11 passes defended and one interception.

Nate Landman - Opens week as DNP Landman (calf/quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Landman ramped up his practice activity leading up to the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Steelers, and he finished the game with six tackles (four solo). He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Younghoe Koo - Perfect but quiet Koo made his only extra-point try and field goal attempt in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Koo kicked a 24-yard field goal on the Falcons' opening drive, then added the extra point on a Kyle Pitts touchdown late in the second quarter. Other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Georgia Southern product remained on the sideline for the remainder of the matchup. Next up for Koo and the Falcons is a Week 2 matchup on MNF against the Eagles.

Brandon Parker - Finds new home Parker signed a contract with the Falcons on Tuesday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact Parker was most recently with the 49ers after spending the first five seasons of his career with the Raiders. The 28-year-old will most likely be tasked with bolstering the depth of Atlanta's offensive line.

Avery Williamson - Works exclusively on special teams Williams returned two punts for 28 yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Williams didn't see any offensive snaps in Week 1, as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier handled all the RB duties. While Williams appears to be the No. 1 punt returner, WR Ray-Ray McCloud took all of Atlanta's kick returns versus Pittsburgh.

Dee Alford - Operates as slot CB Alford mustered two tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact With Mike Hughes moving outside, Alford has stepped up as the Falcons' starting slot CB in 2024. Alford played 31 defensive snaps in Week 1, which isn't enough to generate IDP value. The Steelers don't run many three-wideout sets anymore, so Alford may see more snaps when Atlanta faces a more pass-happy team.

Matthew Judon - Makes minor splash in debut Judon registered five tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Making his Falcons debut, Judon played 46 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps. He was quiet for most of the game, but on third-and-13 in the fourth quarter, Judon combined with Grady Jarrett to sack Justin Fields for an eight-yard loss. The Falcons' pass rush has been a major concern for years, and Judon is expected to remedy that. However, he's still learning a new system, so he may not see enough pass-rushing snaps to generate strong IDP value for a few weeks.

Troy Andersen - Splits time in return Andersen managed five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Andersen appeared in only two games last season due to a pectoral injury, but he's back to full strength and ready to make an impact. Kaden Elliss played all 68 defensive snaps in Week 1, while Andersen split time with Nate Landman at the other ILB spot. Andersen also played 16 special-teams snaps, suggesting his limited work on defense wasn't due to a conditioning issue. If Andersen continues to split time, it'll be hard for him to generate IDP value. However, he's a playmaking linebacker who could rack up stats quickly if given an expanded opportunity.

David Onyemata - Clear starter in Week 1 Onyemata produced two tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Onyemata played 43 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps in Week 1, a solid amount for a 300-pound DT, but his production was lackluster. Onyemata finished with a career-high 50 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, last season, but he may face more double teams this season, as Atlanta's switch to a 3-4 defense may leave him alone in the middle of the trenches more often.

Kaden Elliss - Team-high nine stops Elliss posted nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Picking up where he left off last season, Elliss was a tackle machine versus the Steelers. He played all 68 defensive snaps, while Troy Andersen and Nate Landman split time at the other ILB spot in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Given his role in Week 1, Elliss should be a premier IDP option moving forward. Elliss posted 122 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and three pass defenses last year, his first with the Falcons.

Mike Hughes - Posts seven tackles in Week 1 Hughes registered seven solo tackles during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Impact Hughes was Atlanta's slot cornerback last season, but he's shifted outside this year, operating as the No. 2 CB opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes was briefly benched for Clark Phillips in Week 1, and Kevin King, who was up from the practice squad, also saw two defensive snaps, so it's unclear how safe Hughes' starting role is. Regardless, Hughes played 57 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps and will have some IDP value as long as he's on the field that often.
