The Falcons enter Week 2 at 0-1 with a vital divisional match-up against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Things aren’t dire yet for the team—though the recent string of injuries certainly hasn’t helped us feel confident.
Regardless of the Week 1 loss to the Eagles, Atlanta needs to step up and take care of business at home this week against the Panthers if they want to have any shot at a divisional crown.
Luckily, the Panthers are also banged up heading into this match-up. The Falcons should have the advantage on both sides of the ball, but there are still some key players that we should keep a close eye on during the game.
Below are five players and/or position groups that I believe will play a huge part in the outcome of Sunday’s game.
As you’ve probably heard, the Falcons of star LB Deion Jones until at least Week 10.
In the meantime, Atlanta will be depending on their LB depth to step up and fill the void—and the first man up is sophomore LB and noted fan punching bag Duke Riley.
Riley had a shaky rookie season that was also impacted by an injury. This preseason, he paired a frightful opening performance with a few solid ones.
Against the Eagles, Riley played limited snaps but had a good rep in coverage against Zach Ertz and didn’t make any notable mistakes.
He’s not going to replicate Deion Jones on the field—nobody really can.
We just have to hope that Riley has grown enough to assume a starting role on this team without causing the whole unit to fall off.
For what it’s worth, I think Riley has shown some gradual improvement. Now is the time to take the next step.

While Duke Riley will be stepping into the hole vacated by Deion Jones, fellow sophomore player Damontae Kazee is being asked to fill the void left by Pro Bowlsafety Keanu Neal.
Kazee didn’t get much playing time outside of special teams in 2017, but made a huge impact during the 2018 preseason—where he looked like the best player on the field throughout the first three games.
Kazee stepped in after Neal’s exit in Week 1 and looked quite competent.
While he isn’t the same style of player as Neal—he won’t be as much of an asset against the run or as a coverage option against TEs—he does have his own unique talents.
Kazee is a phenomenal ballhawk and a very competent player in coverage against WRs and RBs. My level of trust in Kazee is fairly high following his impressive preseason and Week 1.
We’ll just have to see if the rest of the Falcons’ defense can pick up the slack in the running game.
