The Falcons’ latest depth chart for Sunday’s matchup with the San Francisco 49ers comes with one clear shakeup: Andy Dalton is now listed as the team’s third-string quarterback.
Atlanta added the three-time Pro Bowler on Monday, and head coach Kevin Stefanski had declined to pin down exactly where Dalton would land. The new chart settles that question. Dalton is QB3 behind Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa, with Jack Strand also listed at the position.
The quarterback update was the most notable change, but it wasn’t the only roster movement this week. The Falcons also signed edge rusher Charles Snowden on Tuesday and released former third-round pick Bralen Trice. Snowden, though, does not appear on the depth chart since the team has not officially announced the signing.
Elsewhere on offense, Bijan Robinson remains the lead running back, with Brian Robinson Jr. behind him. Drake London and Jahan Dotson are listed at wide receiver, while Chris Blair joins London on one side and Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch are shown in the slot grouping. At tight end, Kyle Pitts leads the room, followed by Austin Hooper and Charlie Woerner.
Up front, the Falcons’ line shows Jake Matthews at left tackle, Matthew Bergeron at left guard, Ryan Neuzil at center, Chris Lindstrom at right guard and Jawaan Taylor at right tackle. Michael Jerrell appears at both left tackle and right tackle on the chart, with Kyle Hinton, Corey Levin and Ethan Onianwa also listed among the reserves.
On defense, Brandon Dorlus, Samson Ebukam and Jared Ivey are listed at defensive end, with Maason Smith, Gervon Dexter, LaCale London and Da’Shawn Hand on the line. Cameron Thomas and Za’Darius Smith are grouped at defensive end as well. At linebacker, Divine Deablo, Christian Harris, Josh Woods, Kendal Daniels and Harold Perkins Jr. make up the listed group.
The secondary is headlined by C.J. Henderson and Mike Hughes at cornerback, with Malcolm DeWalt, Mike Ford and Robert Longerbeam also on the chart. Avieon Terrell and Billy Bowman Jr. are listed at CB3/nickel, while Jessie Bates III, DeMarcco Hellams, Jammie Robinson, Xavier Watts and Sydney Brown are shown at safety.
Atlanta will host the undefeated 49ers on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET, and the Falcons are 0-3 in afternoon games this season.

Falcons Young Core Faces A Brutal Week 7 Measuring Stick
A midseason trip to a contender can be a harsh way to find out where a young roster really stands, and the Falcons are staring at exactly that kind of test in Week 7 of the 2026 season. The matchup is shaping up as a measuring stick for a developing core that is still trying to prove it belongs in the same conversation with the leagues upper tier, even if the projection around this game suggests the task is a steep one.
San Francisco is the kind of opponent that can expose every weak spot, especially when a team is still learning how to handle pressure on both sides of the ball. The 49ers are being treated as the standard in this forecast, and for Atlanta, the bigger question may not be whether it can spring an upset in this spot, but what the Falcons can learn from a game that already looks like one of the toughest on their schedule.

Falcons Offense Has One Frustrating Shift Fans Can't Ignore
After a promising start, the Falcons have suddenly dropped two straight, and the frustration around the offense is starting to feel familiar for a team trying to build something around Michael Penix Jr. Atlantas early success came with a run-first approach that kept the attack balanced and gave the rookie quarterback a steadier rhythm, but the recent slide has invited sharper scrutiny of how the offense is being called and whether it has drifted from what was working.
Tommy Rees is now at the center of that conversation, with his play-calling drawing criticism for moving away from the scheme that helped the Falcons find their footing. The bigger concern for Atlanta is not just that the offense has cooled, but that key pieces are not being used in a way that maximizes what they do best, leaving fans wondering why a unit that looked so efficient not long ago has become so hard to trust.

Falcons Pass Defense May Force A Deadline Move They Can't Dodge
After the loss to the Bears, the Falcons pass defense is looking like the sort of problem that can force a front office into action before the deadline. Atlanta expects help back soon with A.J. Terrell and James Pearce Jr. on the way from injury, but the secondary has still been vulnerable enough to keep the conversation centered on whether more help is needed, and how aggressive the team wants to be in fixing it.
One name worth watching is a corner with a short-term deal in Philadelphia, where the Eagles season has taken a turn and the franchise may be more willing to listen than it was a few weeks ago. For the Falcons, the question is whether the combination of reinforcements already coming back and the urgency created by recent breakdowns is enough to push them into a move they might otherwise try to avoid.
