London: The Falcons don’t exactly have a pass-happy offense. Despite passing at the eighth-highest rate in football last season, it’s safe to assume Head Coach Arthur Smith will choose to run the ball more. After all, he did it well enough with running back Derrick Henry in Tennessee. Atlanta doesn’t have a Derrick Henry but they replaced Matt Ryan with Marcus Mariota, who isn’t a vertical quarterback like Ryan was.
The trio should see the vast majority of targets from Mariota or quarterback Desmond Ridder if he plays. Based on draft capital and true positional value, London will likely get the first nod at seeing the Calvin Ridley role. Before Ridley left the team in Week 8, he was averaging 10.5 targets per game. In weeks without Ridley, Pitts and Russell Gage combined for 13.2 per game. Gage averaged 7.2 per game alone following Ridley’s departure.
London: London becomes one of the most targeted receivers in football. That hinges on Patterson mostly seeing work as a running back, which is possible since the Falcons replaced running back Mike Davis with Tyler Allgeier and Damien Williams. Patterson’s role shifted more to running back to end last season, anyway. London’s ceiling also hinges on Pitts, but not in the way you may think.
