Lorenzo Carter - Pick six in winCarter finished with four tackles (one solo) and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown, during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Panthers.

ImpactCarter picked off a PJ Walker pass intended for D'Onta Foreman near the end of the first half and returned it 28 yards for a score. Despite playing the majority of Atlanta's snaps, the fifth-year linebacker has only recorded 22 tackles across eight appearances this season, limiting his overall fantasy potential, but he does have 2.5 sacks and a now a pick six to add to his resume.

Rashaan Evans - Records first sack of seasonEvans totaled nine tackles (four solo) and one sack during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Panthers.

ImpactEvans was busy again in Week 8, recording at least nine tackles for the fifth time over his last six appearances. However, his first sack of the season -- an eight-yard loss on a third-and-nine play in the fourth quarter -- made Sunday's outing Evans' best fantasy performance of the campaign. Across his first eight appearances with Atlanta, Evans has totaled 74 tackles, three pass defenses, two fumble recoveries and one sack. He'll look to maintain his strong play against the Chargers in Week 9.

Mykal Walker - Team-high 11 tackles in winWalker recorded 11 tackles (eight solo), including one for loss, during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Panthers.

ImpactWalker returned from a one-game absence in Week 7 and recorded a season-low four tackles, but he bounced back Sunday by recording at least 11 tackles for the third time during the campaign. Across seven appearances, the third-year linebacker has already set a new career high with 59 stops while adding one sack, one interception and one forced fumble.

PJ Walker - Will draw another start in Week 9Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said Monday that Walker will start again this Sunday against the Bengals, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

ImpactWalker drew a second straight start Week 8, but aside from a 62-yard Hail Mary touchdown at the end of regulation, the undrafted quarterback struggled mightily against Atlanta's poor defense. Baker Mayfield has moved past his high-ankle sprain, while Sam Darnold (ankle) remains out, though he was designated to return from IR ahead of Week 7. Despite encouraging developments from Mayfield and Darnold, Wilks will continue to roll with Walker for at least one more week. During his two starts, Walker has completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 494 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, which was returned for a TD.

Younghoe Koo - Perfect in winKoo connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-34 overtime victory over Carolina.

ImpactKoo gave the Falcons a 24-21 lead with a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and extended Atlanta's lead to 34-28 with a 34-yard try with 36 seconds left in regulation. After a heroic play from D.J. Moore, the game went into overtime, and Koo eventually nailed a game-winning 41-yarder after Panthers kicker Eddie Pineiro missed a 32-yard attempt on the previous drive. Koo has yet to miss an extra point this season, and two of his three field-goal misses have come from beyond 50 yards. The fifth-year pro continues to be one of the more reliable kickers in the league and has benefitted from Atlanta's surprisingly efficient offense in 2022.

Avery Williams - Gets work in passing attackWilliams had zero carries but reeled in both of his targets for seven yards during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Panthers.

ImpactCaleb Huntley (16 rushes for 91 yards) and Tyler Allgeier (14 rushes for 39 yards) continue to handle the majority of the rushing attempts with Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) on IR, leaving Williams to operate merely as a depth option. Across eight appearances, the second-year pro has totaled 17 touches for 91 yards and a score, but he remains on the outskirts of fantasy relevancy.
