It’s fair to say that the return game is one of Atlanta’s bigger question marks heading into 2018, even though the return game is significantly less vital than it used to be.
Eric Weems and Andre Roberts both did good things during their times as returners for the Falcons, but neither exactly blew fans away with their respective abilities. Weems had an excellent 2015 with 26.9 yards per kick return and 11.6 yards per punt return and followed that up with a less inspiring 23.0 Y/PKR and 11.4 Y/PPR in 2016, but his decision-making was the subject of much scrutiny.
