17. Atlanta Falcons (16)

After starting off the preseason with two wins, the Atlanta Falcons took a step back in the third week against the Dolphins after falling 17-6 in what can only be described as a disappointing performance on offense.

The Falcons turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments last year after failing to make the playoffs despite a 6-1 start, but there’s no reason why they can’t bounce back this year thanks to having one of the league’s top offensive duos in Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. If there’s anything to take away from last season, it would be Jones is one of the league’s top wideouts after recording 136 receptions and the wideout looks to continue his success with an improved passing game.

Hopefully, the addition of Mohamed Sanu will benefit Jones in the passing game even more in 2016 as the Falcons look to start off as well as last year with different results in the end.
