Divine Deablo has become the Falcons' middle anchor, patrolling the field with rare range and a knack for tackling. Through four games he’s started nearly every snap, racked up 18 tackles with 0.5 sacks, a TFL, a fumble recovery, and three passes defended, transforming Atlanta’s defense into a disruptive unit.

Coaches and teammates credit his length and speed for shrinking throwing windows and closing space on check-downs, helping a defense that sits near the top in total and pass defense. With the bye week approaching, Deablo’s evolution gives fantasy managers a clear linchpin in Atlanta’s reshaped scheme.

Washington travels to Atlanta in Week 4 to face the Falcons, a matchup shaped by Jeff Ulbrich’s blitz-happy defense and Bijan Robinson’s explosive touch potential. Penix Jr. is evolving, but will face a disruptive front that rotates linemen and keeps pressure on the pocket. Washington’s best path is a ground-heavy approach to keep Penix upright and shorten the game, while Atlanta leans on Robinson as the engine of a sometimes-stilted offense. For fantasy, Bijan remains a top staple; Washington’s backfield could offer some value if the Falcons’ pressure slows the passing game.

Expect a chess-match where Ulbrich’s fronts and linebackers test Penix’s growth, while Robinson’s versatility keeps defenses honest. If Washington can establish the run and force Atlanta to defend both the edge and the middle of the field, Penix’s play-action and designed runs become pivotal. Stream or start Bijan with confidence; Washington’s ability to curb the run will heavily influence the DFS and splash-play upside in this one.
