With Matt Ryan finding his stride and a pair of dynamic wide receivers in Roddy White and Julio Jones, the passing game has the opportunity to put up huge numbers.
Ryan threw for a career high 4,100 yards and 29 touchdowns last season and there is little reason to believe those numbers won't finish between 4,500-4,700 yards and a 30+ touchdown season.
White was one of the most targeted receivers in football last year, which for his owners was a great thing. Despite his second straight 100+ reception season, White led the league in dropped passes. That motivated the 8th year wide out to become more consistent on the field.
Jones enters his second season and is currently ranked 9th in our latest rankings. Jones is a burner and although he missed three games last year, he put up decent numbers and is the Falcons deep threat. As a rookie, Jones tied White with 8 touchdown catches and boasted an impressive 17.8 yards per reception.
The dual threat is going to pay dividends for everyone involved in the offense. As White glowingly talked about Jones he may have put it best.
"They can't double us all."
