Falcons sign pass rusher to fill void created by James Pearce Jr.'s suspension and Jalon Walker's ACL injury
This is purely a depth-chart/roster story with no real fantasy relevance since edge rushers on defense carry essentially zero standard fantasy value (non-IDP formats). Pearce's suspension and Walker's ACL tear are notable for the Falcons' defensive outlook and IDP leagues, but neither player was being drafted or rostered for standard fantasy purposes. The signing of a replacement pass rusher doesn't move the needle for any offensive skill players on Atlanta's roster.
The news comes after the suspension of James Pearce Jr., and the loss of pass rusher Jalon Walker to an ACL injury. Here's what to know.
