Nathan Carter, Nathan Carter Once Again Competing for RB3 Role in Atlanta
Running back Nathan Carter operated as the Atlanta Falcons' No. 3 back in 2025 behind starter Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, and he will once again compete for the same role in training camp this summer behind Robinson and newcomer Brian Robinson Jr., according to Will McFadden of AtlantaFalcons.com. The 24-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Michigan State only had nine carries for 60 yards over seven games in his first year in the NFL, though, so he's still well off the fantasy radar going into his sophomore campaign. The majority of Carter's snaps in 2025 came on special teams. He'll have more competition for the No. 3 job in the form of Tyler Goodson and Cash Jones. McFadden writes that the Falcons' RB3 battle could be one of the more underrated competitions of camp. Carter will only pop up as a waiver-wire consideration in fantasy football in 2026 if one or both of the Robinsons miss time with injury in Atlanta.

Michael Penix Jr., Michael Penix Jr. a Dynasty Hold Until Camp Brings Clarity
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is still difficult to price before training camp. He threw for 1,982 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions in nine starts last season, then a partially torn left ACL ended his year in Week 11. This was his third ACL surgery. Penix made it back for individual and seven-on-seven work in the spring, but Atlanta kept him out of full-team periods while Tua Tagovailoa ran the offense. The expectation was that Penix would be ready for 11-on-11 work in camp, pending medical clearance. Until that happens, there is not much of a competition to judge. The fantasy profile has its own problem. Penix completed 60.1% of his passes and added only 70 rushing yards, so he needs the arm to carry the value. Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts Sr. give him enough help if he wins the job. RotoBaller has Penix at QB29 in dynasty, which is low enough to hold through camp but not cheap enough to ignore the knee and Tua. Superflex buyers should wait for clarity rather than paying for his previous upside.

Tua Tagovailoa, Tua Tagovailoa the Favorite to Win Falcons Starting QB Job?
New Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will compete with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) for the starting QB job in 2026 in his first year in Atlanta, but Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Patrick Paul thinks his former signal-caller will win the job this summer, according to Grant Gordon of NFL.com. "Him going into Atlanta now, he's got a new situation, a new environment, and I know he's going to go in there," Paul said on "The Set" podcast with Terron Armstead. "He's definitely going to win that spot." Tagovailoa, even though he's learning a new offense in a new location, should have a leg up on Penix after Penix suffered a season-ending knee injury that required surgery last year. Tagovailoa led the league in passing yards in 2023 and was a Pro Bowler, but he threw for a career-worst 15 interceptions and was benched down the stretch last year before being cut by Miami in the offseason. Head injuries make Tagovailoa a huge risk in both superflex redraft leagues and dynasty formats, but with a potential head start in Atlanta's QB competition and with plenty of weapons on offense in his new situation, Tagovailoa makes for a buy-low target in dynasty leagues going into the 2026 season.

Drake London, Drake London Still Worth the Quarterback Gamble in Round 2
The Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is carrying more quarterback uncertainty than most players going this early. The volume is hard to walk away from. He saw 112 targets in only 12 games last season, finishing with 68 catches for 919 yards and seven touchdowns after a 100-1,271-9 breakout in 2024. Atlanta added Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus, and third-round rookie Zachariah Branch, but those moves were about fixing the room around London. They were not about replacing him. He still had at least 40 more targets than any other Falcons wideout despite missing five games. The quarterback piece is messy. Michael Penix Jr. is working back from ACL surgery, and Tua Tagovailoa is pushing for the job. Either one comes with questions, but London has already earned heavy volume in different versions of this offense. His current ADP sits around the middle of Round 2, close to RotoBaller's WR7 valuation. There is risk at that price. There is also a path to another huge target total if he stays healthy, which is why London remains worth the gamble.

Bijan Robinson, Bijan Robinson Still Worth a Top-Three Redraft Pick
The Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson already showed he can dominate fantasy without taking every backfield carry. Tyler Allgeier logged 143 attempts and scored eight rushing touchdowns last year, yet Robinson still led the NFL with 2,298 yards from scrimmage. His receiving line did a lot of the damage: 79 catches, 820 yards, and four scores, along with 1,478 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Atlanta replaced Allgeier with Brian Robinson Jr., a 225-pound downhill runner who can take some of the heavier inside work. That should not be confused with a threat to Bijan's passing-down role or overall standing. He handled 366 touches in 2025, and the new staff plans to keep the wide-zone base while adding gap concepts. A repeat of nearly 2,300 yards is unlikely, but Robinson does not need one to challenge for the overall RB1 finish. RotoBaller has him second overall in half-PPR and third in PPR. Both prices fit the workload and ceiling.
