Keanu Neal Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal's (Achilles) tests showed that he tore his Achilles in the Week 3 loss to the Colts, according to a source. He will miss the rest of the 2019 season. It's a tough blow for the 24-year-old, as he played in just one game in 2018 before suffering a season-ending injury. Atlanta's secondary will be more vulnerable the rest of the way, and they shouldn't be trusted as a fantasy unit going into Week 4 against the Titans.

Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal (knee) has been lifting weights with his teammates during the offseason program, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter. There is no timetable for his return from a torn ACL in his knee last year, but he is expected to be ready for Week 1. The Falcons also plan on picking up Neal's fifth-year option for the 2020 season. Neal has 220 tackles, eight forced fumbles, 14 pass breakups and an interception in 31 career games. A healthy return for Neal will be a considerable boost to an Atlanta defense that was really hurt by injuries to their key players in 2018.

Atlanta Falcons safety Keanu Neal (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 game against the Eagles on Thursday and is out for the year, according to a source. As ESPN's Adam Schefter notes, this is a huge blow for the Falcons secondary and defense overall, as Neal was one of their best overall playmakers. Not only was Thursday's loss a tough one to swallow, but this is salt in Atlanta's wounds. Neal was a top IDP safety and can now be dropped in single-year formats.
