20 highest-graded Falcons players at the bye week

The Atlanta Falcons (4-6) undoubtedly have their share of problems as they head into their bye week, but this is still a talented football team.

Jessie Bates III has been arguably the NFL’s best safety this season and second-year linebacker Nate Landman has thrived since entering the starting lineup. Wide receiver Drake London is making the most of his opportunities and center Drew Dalman continues to improve.

Here’s a look at the 20 highest-graded Falcons players at the bye week, according to Pro Football Focus‘ overall season grades.
