7 WR options for the Falcons in free agency

Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley aren’t going anywhere for a few years at least, but Atlanta has little depth after trading Mohamed Sanu to the Patriots last season.

The Atlanta Falcons have one of the league’s best one-two punches at the wide receiver position. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley aren’t going anywhere for a few years at least, but the team has little depth behind them after trading Mohamed Sanu to the Patriots last season.

2019 Stats: 34 catches, 287 yards, 2 TDs

Analysis: Allison has never put up great numbers, but at 26 years old, he’s a solid third or fourth receiver that has some special teams versatility. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers gained trust in Allison during their four seasons together. The former undrafted free agent out of Illinois was targeted 146 times in 46 games with Green Bay. Matt Ryan may need a couple of extra receiving options if the Falcons lose Austin Hooper, which seems likely at this point. Allison won’t break the bank due to a career high of 303 yards.
