How Will Every NFL Offense Perform in 2024?

Which offenses will light up the scoreboard this season, and which will fall flat? We’ve projected how every unit will fare and ranked them from best to worst.


20. Atlanta Falcons

The following two things can be true:

  • People are overrating the impact that Kirk Cousins will have on the Falcons offense.
  • Cousins will be a massive upgrade from what Atlanta had last year.

Cousins spent five seasons as the Vikings’ full-time starter from 2018 to 2022 before an injury cut his season short last year. The best ranking for those offenses was ninth. The worst ranking was 20th. That range is a good place to start when considering what we might see from this Atlanta team.

So is Cousins set up for success better or worse in Atlanta than he was in Minnesota? Running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London are nice pieces. But Cousins doesn’t have anyone like Justin Jefferson or Stefon Diggs to get him a bucket in a big spot. He’s also entering his age-36 season and coming off of an Achilles injury.

On paper, the offensive line in front of Cousins looks solid. But the Falcons had the best injury luck of any offense last season. They were one of four teams to have a single offensive line combination play at least 75 percent of the snaps. If we assume league-average injury luck, the Falcons’ depth will get tested way more than it did last season.

Add it all up, and I see a group that’s likely to be mostly mediocre.

I look forward to Kirk Cousins leading us to a 10+ win season.

The season started out so exciting and then everybody realized Kirk's has a dead arm. Kirk went 7-7
