Atlanta Falcons: 3 Players with rising stock after Week 6

Despite losing to the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, there were some players who saw their stock rise for the Atlanta Falcons. Here are 3 of those players.

After losing to the Miami Dolphins in Week 6, the instant reaction for may Atlanta Falcons fans is that the entire team is damaged. There’s something to be said for that because a blown 17-0 halftime lead isn’t a common thing.

More frustrating is that we all saw it coming. Atlanta has struggled mightily to hold leads, and there’s a lot of blame to go around because of that.

However, not every player was terrible on Sunday. While we already looked at who saw their stock drop, here we look for the positive and examine three players who saw their stock climb despite the loss in Week 6.

3. Keanu Neal, S

Strong safety Keanu Neal was all over the field on Sunday. Despite the struggles in the secondary he was out there trying his best to make the big hit and cause a turnover. Neal finished with eight tackles, but seven of those were solo take downs.

The second-year player is still looking for his first career interception, but he’s been a great defender on the back end in terms of stuffing the ball carrier. He’s one of the few sure-tacklers on this defense.
