Falcons' Harold Perkins: Notches 10 tackles in win
Rotowire
Perkins recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) including 0.5 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 45-24 win at New Orleans.
Over the last couple games, Perkins appears to have overtaken fellow rookie Kendal Daniels as the Falcons' second linebacker next to Divine Deablo. Perkins played 52 defensive snaps to Daniels' 29 in Week 4, and if that trend continues, he might be worth a look in deeper IDP formats in a Week 5 matchup versus the Ravens and beyond.

Falcons' Harold Perkins: Snagged by Falcons
Rotowire
The Falcons selected Perkins in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 215th overall.
Perkins didn't wait long to find the field at LSU, starting for three-plus seasons in Baton Rouge. He racked up 56 tackles and 4.0 sacks as a senior, adding three interceptions and a forced fumble to boot. He's a versatile player who started at multiple positions in college due to his tweener size, and it remains to be seen where he will settle in at the next level. He could play a hybrid safety-linebacker role, but his first order of business is proving he belongs with a good showing in camp.
