Atlanta’s week included workouts for Khalid Duke and Ron Stone Jr. as the Falcons evaluated edge options while preparing for a season in which depth on the offensive line could be critical. The club ultimately added Ronnie Perkins to the 90-man roster, signaling interest in bolstering pass-rush upside behind their starter cohort. Injuries to Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton have left Atlanta thin at tackle, amplifying the potential for immediate role players to step up as the squad trims to 53 next week. The preseason finale against Dallas looms as a testing ground for depth and rotation, and the team’s next moves could directly influence early-season fantasy value on Atlanta’s front seven and blocker corps.

From a fantasy lens, Perkins’ signing is notable for his edge-prowess ceiling in a scenario where the Falcons need reliable rush production. Duke and Stone’s visits hint at future opportunities if injuries linger or performance gaps appear, while McGary's expected absence and Norton’s six-to-eight week timeline push the evaluation window into early September. Monitor snap shares, especially for rotational edge players and any shifts at right tackle, as the Falcons weigh health, roster decisions, and matchup-based usage late in the preseason.
