The Falcons have spent the last two weeks making prime time look easy, and now they get another shot under the lights Sunday night against the Ravens. Atlanta has rolled through the Packers and Saints, and with Lamar Jackson likely unavailable, this matchup sets up as another chance for the Dirty Birds to keep the momentum going.
When it comes to touchdown picks, Drake London feels like the most obvious play. He’s put together 20 catches for 370 yards through four weeks, but the end zone has stayed out of reach.
That gap is getting harder to ignore. No player with a touchdown drought through the first month has piled up more receiving yards, so the breakthrough feels close.
At +125, London is the bet that looks the safest.
Baltimore’s passing game could also tilt heavily toward Mark Andrews if Tyler Huntley gets the start in Jackson’s place. The Ravens would likely lean on their veteran tight end, especially once they reach the red zone. Atlanta’s corners have been solid against wideouts through four games, which only makes Andrews a more natural target for Sunday night.
For a longer shot on the Falcons side, Jahan Dotson stands out. He’s already carved out the No. 2 role at receiver, and he’s the only Atlanta wideout to score this season.
Dotson has six catches for 95 yards and a touchdown, and his speed gives him a real chance to strike again, especially after flashing against the Saints last week. At +550, he’s the darker, higher-upside touchdown pick.

Falcons Fans Should Track These Weekend Matchups For A Reason
The weekends college slate offers more than just a few eye-catching matchups for casual fans, because it also gives the Falcons a chance to start lining up the next wave of NFL talent. For a team that lives in draft talk as much as any in the league, games involving schools like Georgia, Alabama, UCLA, Oregon, Texas and Oklahoma can double as a scouting guide, especially with 2027 and 2028 prospects beginning to come into focus.
There are three games in particular that deserve close attention for Atlanta observers, since each one carries real draft implications for the road ahead. The names on those rosters are still early in the evaluation process, but the stakes are already clear for a front office that will keep watching how this group develops, and for fans who like to get a head start on who might matter to the Falcons before the rest of the league fully catches on.

Jahan Dotson Is Giving Falcons Fans A Reason To Reconsider This Move
Jahan Dotson arrived in Atlanta with something to prove after an up-and-down stretch that began with a productive rookie year in Washington, dipped in 2023 and then included a useful role in Philadelphias Super Bowl run. The Falcons brought him in on a two-year deal as part of an effort to add stability and juice to the passing game, hoping a fresh start would help him recapture the form that once made him a promising young receiver.
Instead, Dotson stepped into a situation clouded by quarterback injuries that disrupted the offense early and made every target harder to come by. Even so, there have been enough encouraging signs to make Falcons fans wonder whether this move could pay off in a bigger way than expected, especially if the passing game ever settles into something closer to normal.

Falcons Winning Streak Just Raised A Big Trade Deadline Question
Two straight wins have pushed Atlanta back into the conversation after an 0-2 start, and now the early-season turnaround comes with a familiar roster-building question. As the trade deadline approaches, the Falcons improved footing has been tied to a possible pursuit of veteran pass rush help, with the defense still a spot that could use more proven edge production.
One name to watch is Jadeveon Clowney, who has opened the season with the Houston Texans and shown he can still get into the backfield, posting 1.5 sacks and five combined tackles in two games. Any talk of a move would put Atlanta in a larger market for a veteran defender, but the more immediate takeaway is that the Falcons recent run has made them a team worth monitoring for a deadline swing.
