Rush brings stability to the immediate quarterback decision, but he does not raise the ceiling of Atlanta’s passing game. Bijan Robinson remains locked in, while Drake London and Kyle Pitts carry some passing-game downside relative to a better quarterback setup.

Keep Bijan locked into lineups. Rush is only a deeper Superflex or emergency QB play, while Atlanta’s pass-catchers should be treated with slightly more caution.

Atlanta has formally settled its quarterback situation: Cooper Rush will start Week 2. Michael Penix Jr. is out, and Tua Tagovailoa is doubtful with the oblique injury.
