What's new: Shanahan has installed a zone-blocking scheme on the offensive line, but the Falcons struggled to adapt during preseason. The running game was nonexistent and QB Matt Ryan faced far more pressure than the Falcons would like. Defensively, Quinn's 4-3 system employs a "Leo" end who lines up on the weak side and is primarily responsible for rushing the passer. Top draft pick Vic Beasley will man that spot and should improve the pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Strengths: QB, WR, CB, K.
Fantasy Tip: WR Julio Jones has a huge new contract and should be ready for another monster season, even if the Falcons struggle. He missed one game in 2014, but still had nearly 1,600 yards receiving.
