THE OFFENSIVE IDENTITY

Atlanta prepares for Week 2 with quarterback availability unresolved.

2025 tendencies · 2026 staff

ATL 3, CAR 34 — final. Penix is the announced Week 3 starter at Green Bay. Rush and Strand’s Week 2 numbers remain game history, not the current quarterback order. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.

The saved 2025 Atlanta tendencies belong to the previous staff. Stefanski and Rees install a new offense in 2026; neither those prior rates nor Cleveland’s previous personnel tendencies establish Atlanta’s current mix.

The approach behind the offense

Reported concepts and coaching priorities
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Rees has the headset

Stefanski explicitly appointed Rees to call plays, citing their established working relationship. The head coach’s background informs the installation without changing the announced play-caller assignment.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Multiple tight-end options

Official camp reporting observed three-TE looks with Pitts, Hooper and Woerner. This supplies package context, not a measured regular-season frequency or a claim that the three-receiver illustration is the base offense.

Week 2 game context

ATL 3, CAR 34 — final. Penix is the announced Week 3 starter at Green Bay. Rush and Strand’s Week 2 numbers remain game history, not the current quarterback order. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.

Fantasy connection: Penix is the announced Week 3 starter at Green Bay. Rush and Strand’s Week 2 numbers remain game history, not the current quarterback order.

Kneels, spikes, two-point tries, aborted snaps and nullified plays are excluded. NFL comparisons use the same filters. These are historical rates, not a 2026 play forecast.

Reading the numbers: The 2025 column retains its historical regular-season sample. Week 2 actuals describe the completed 2026 game. No Week 3 forecast is supplied.

Target share: player targets / all recorded team targets. Carry share: player rush attempts / team rush attempts (including QB runs/kneels). Red-zone and goal-line share: player targets + rush attempts inside the opponent 20 / 5 divided by the corresponding team total. Null means unverified, not zero. Preliminary statistics may be corrected.

Week 2 snap counts are available for all 32 teams. Route participation and targets per route remain unverified. Unavailable is not zero.

Backup Michael Jerrell; Ethan Onianwa

Cameron Williams was placed on injured reserve September 12 despite remaining in the roster/depth widgets. Storm Norton is on reserve/PUP. Practice-squad OL: James Brockermeyer, Kam Dewberry, Riley Mahlman and Josh Thompson. Jerrell is listed behind both tackles; the repeated name is not two separate reserves. Week 1 inactive OL: Ethan Onianwa. This does not establish Week 2 availability. Kyle Hinton finished Week 1 at RG after Lindstrom left; no confirmed Week 2 lineup yet.

Historical grades cover 2025 regular-season performance on a 0–100 scale. They are not percentages or 2026 forecasts. Unverified grades are left unfilled. How PFF grades work ↗

Availability: Active means on the named game-day roster, not a snap guarantee. Inactive means not playing in that named game. Emergency QB has conditional entry restrictions. Available means not carrying a current out, doubtful or questionable designation in the checked evidence; it does not establish final game-day active status. Pending means clearance for the upcoming game is unconfirmed. Reserve and practice-squad players have distinct roster restrictions. Elevated means added for the specified game.

ReserveTrey SermonRB · Injured reserve; unavailable for the opener.

Practice squad: Vinny Anthony II (WR); Dylan Drummond (WR); Tyler Goodson (RB); Cash Jones (RB); Jack Velling (TE); Antwane Wells Jr. (WR). A practice-squad listing does not establish a game-day elevation.
