Atlanta Falcons first depth chart revealed for week one vs. Steelers

With depth charts come football and football is something Atlanta has eagerly been waiting for for eight months.

2024 represents a season where the Falcons have more optimism around them than they have had in a long time. The addition of Kirk Cousins completed this team while the late additions of Justin Simmons and Matt Judon are the icing on the cake.

Along with those three players are a lot of other talented players. The first depth chart looks like a team bound to make waves in the NFL.

Falcons release depth chart for week 1 vs. Steelers

This roster for the Atlanta Falcons looks good, there is no other way to explain it. They have the offensive firepower, a steady offensive line, a great and deep defensive line, good linebackers, and playmakers in the secondary.

Here is the full look at this exciting Falcons team going into Sunday's game at home against the Steelers:

Offense

Defense

Special Teams

While it gets annoying that they don't streamline their offensive depth chart more, you certainly understand why. Players will have different roles for what is a dynamic offense, at least on paper.

Nothing about the offensive and defensive depth charts is surprising. This Falcons team left little doubt as to who their starters were but the kick and punt return specialists are a little bit surprising. We never got much indication that the team would revert to Avery Williams as their return man but it is a sensical decision. He made the roster for his return ability and he is their best option.

It is only a few more days until we will see these names on the field. Winning week one will be vastly important to their season; it is already a must-win game.
