4 players to watch in Falcons’ Week 11 matchup with the Panthers

After an unexpected defensive showcase against the Saints in Week 10 in which Atlanta sacked Drew Brees six times, fans will be interested to see if it was a one-time thing or a trend going forward.

The Falcons have a real shot this Sunday against a Carolina Panthers team that’s struggled somewhat over the past three weeks.

After an unexpected defensive showcase against the Saints in Week 10 — in which Atlanta sacked Drew Brees six times — fans will be interested to see if that was a one-time thing or a trend going forward.

Here are four players to watch during the Falcons’ NFC South showdown with the Panthers in Week 11.

Stocker isn’t the must-add fantasy prospect that running back Brian Hill is in place of the injured Devonta Freeman, although he will definitely get some targets on Sunday with Austin Hooper out. Tight ends coach Mike Mularkey formally coached Stocker in Tennessee before he signed with the Falcons in the offseason. Jaeden Graham will get some looks as well, but don’t sleep on Stocker, who has six catches for 34 yards this season.
