Grading each offensive position for the Atlanta Falcons in 2022
Wide receivers:
- Drake London
- Olamide Zaccheaus
- Damiere Byrd
- KhaDarel Hodge
- Frank Darby
- Bryan Edwards
If you would have told Atlanta Falcons fans prior to the season that Bryan Edwards would have three catches the whole year, everyone would have been panicking. I say this because most of us thought Edwards would be the primary receiver opposite of Drake London but that was the furthest thing from the truth.
However, the position wasn’t awful. Of course, you have Drake London who did everything he could. If he would have been in a pass-heavy offense, who knows the number of yards he would have been able to accumulate.
Olamide Zaccheaus took on the responsibility of being a number-two receiver but stumbled a bit when Desmond Ridder was under center. Finally, Damiere Byrd and KhaDarel Hodge were surprisingly solid in rotational roles.
Overall, I think the production as a whole was about what we all expected to start the season.
