Why?
Because we have no idea which version of Blake Snell we are going to get for the Padres.

And the NFC shouldn’t be overlooked, with a handful of teams improving through free agency and the draft. It won’t be just the Eagles, 49ers and Cowboys ruling what was supposed to be a down season for the conference.
O.K., enough stalling.

Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days. To get us through the offseason, we’ll be taking a closer look at every team in the league, in order of projected 2023 win totals. Up next: the Falcons.
The Falcons play in a stadium named for a car company. It’s fitting, because for the last five years, they’ve been stuck in neutral.
Atlanta hasn’t made the playoffs since 2017 and in the ensuing campaigns has won exactly seven games four times. The Falcons are still trying to find their way, with third-year coach Arthur Smith looking to take the next step in a winnable NFC South.

This year’s All-Underrated team is back, better than ever and comprises many non-premium-position players. This isn’t a list of punt gunners, but it is a celebration of the notably unsexy.
