Analysis: This is an interesting move because the Franks had been solid for Atlanta as a return man. From a fantasy perspective, however, this does little to impact the value of the Falcons as a D/ST unit. Atlanta has a new defensive coordinator but the team will have to be better against the pass than it was last season. Overall, the Falcons will be a decent start in most weeks but beware of using them against teams that really like to throw the ball. They have plenty to prove on that front.
