What happened: PFF's 2026 unit rankings place Atlanta first at running back and seventh among receiving corps. The Falcons have also set their starting quarterback for Week 1.
Why it matters: That supporting cast raises expectations around the newly selected starter. The opener will provide Atlanta's first test against live regular-season competition.
By the numbers: Atlanta enters 2026 with PFF's No. 1 running back unit and No. 7 receiving corps.
What to watch: Watch how quickly the offense finds its rhythm in next Sunday's road opener.
