Matt Waldman’s RSP Cast continues its 2019 Team Projection Series with Dwain McFarland with a deep dive into the individual and team performance of the Atlanta Falcons offense.
Dwain McFarland and I continue our excellent conversations about how to project offenses with a look at the Falcons offense:

* Why Matt Ryan remains one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the NFL? And, a statistical look at his career arc.
* What Dirk Koetter offers this offense now that he's reunited with the team?
* Breaking down the Atlanta backfield after the departure of Tevin Coleman.
* Where Julio Jones is great as well as thoughts on why his touchdown totals haven't been as great as the rest of his game.
* Will we see Austin Hooper ascend another notch in the offensive pecking order?
* How could Dan Quinn's desire for a ball-hawking defense could enhance the offense's volume?

As mentioned in previous podcasts, I highly recommend reading McFarland’s new piece at the RSP site on How to Project NFL Offenses. If you’re a fantasy player, NFL beat writer, or football analyst, you should consider learning to do your own projections and Dwain has 20 years experience as well as success in high stakes fantasy leagues.

Even if you don’t have time to do projections and want pointers on how to select others, this article is a great resource. If you’re an RSP subscriber, you can also stay tuned for future RSP Newsletters where Dwain will be providing snapshots of individual player projections from his league-wide process.
