Xavier Watts - Totals seven stops in win Sunday Watts notched seven tackles (three solo) and forced a fumble Sunday in a 29-20 Week 7 victory against the 49ers.
Impact Watts missed just three defensive snaps, as he continues to be a key part of Atlanta's secondary. The second-year safety has posted seven or more tackles in four of his seven games so far this season and leads the Falcons with 44 tackles (including 0.5 sacks). He also has two defensed passes, including an interception.

Jessie Bates III - Impactful in Week 7 win Bates registered nine tackles (two solo), two defensed passes (including an interception) and one forced fumble Sunday in a 29-20 victory over San Francisco.
Impact Bates contributed in multiple ways during a big day for Atlanta's defense. He finished tied for second on the team with nine stops and picked off Brock Purdy midway through the third quarter as San Francisco was approaching the red zone. For good measure, Bates sealed the win by forcing a George Kittle fumble with less than a minute remaining in the contest. Bates' nine stops were a season high, and the interception was his first of the campaign.

Harold Perkins Jr. - Posts nine stops Sunday Perkins tallied nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 29-20 Week 7 win over the 49ers.
Impact Perkins' tackle total was tied for second on Atlanta behind fellow rookie Kendal Daniels. Perkins finished with his second-highest number of stops so far, trailing only the 10 tackles he recorded Week 4 in New Orleans. Perkins made his first NFL start Sunday, as Divine Deablo was sidelined due to a forearm injury.

Kendal Daniels - Huge performance in Week 7 win Daniels recorded 11 tackles (nine solo), an interception and a fumble recovery Sunday in a 29-20 victory versus San Francisco.
Impact That Daniels was even on the field Sunday was a victory in itself after he was carted off the field and transported to the hospital due to a neck injury one week prior. The talented rookie not only suited up against San Francisco, he was a central part of sending the 49ers to their first loss, as he led Atlanta in tackles and essentially sealed the win in the fourth quarter by intercepting Brock Purdy with less than three minutes remaining and then recovering a George Kittle fumble with under a minute left. The memorable effort included Daniels' first career interception, first career recovered fumble and career-high single-game tackle tally.

The Week 7 Plays That Stood Out: The 49ers' Woes To The Seahawks' Dominant Defense

Here are the most important plays from NFL Week 7, ranging from the 49ers' struggles to the Seahawks' impressive defense.

The Week 7 Plays That Stood Out: The 49ers' Woes To The Seahawks' Dominant Defense
Zachariah Branch - Huge kickoff return in Week 7 win Branch brought in one of two targets for nine yards, logged an eight-yard carry and returned his lone kickoff for 61 yards during the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Impact Branch saw minimal usage offensively, but he made an impact early with a 61-yard kickoff return early in the first quarter, with the Falcons' offense converting that opportunity into a 39-yard field goal five plays later. It was a solid bounce back from his Week 6 performance against the Chicago, when he lost two fumbles. The rookie third-rounder has a 10-64-0 receiving line on 12 targets through seven regular-season games, and Branch's role will continue to be a complementary one while he's situated behind Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson in the pecking order. The Falcons will hit the road for Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Nov. 1.

Austin Hooper - Two catches in win Hooper caught both of his targets for 21 yards in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Impact Hooper played 29 offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The No. 3 tight end was utilized as a blocker and pass catcher but was outshone by No. 4 option Nick Muse, who caught a key touchdown as the team took down the undefeated 49ers.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jahan Dotson - Only one catch in Week 7 victory Dotson caught one pass on three targets for six yards during Sundays' 29-20 win over San Francisco.
Impact Dotson's lone catch came late in the second quarter as part of a 14-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a 33-yard field goal by Nick Folk as time expired. Dotson also drew a defensive pass interference penalty late in the third quarter, but it was an otherwise quiet night for the fifth-year pro, whose 38 offensive snaps were second-most among Falcons wide receivers behind Drake London (55). Dotson has two catches or fewer in six of the first seven games of the regular season and has a 12-242-2 receiving line on 26 targets this year. The Falcons hit the road in Week 8 for an NFC South tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense stifled Panthers QB Bryce Young in a Week 7 win for Tampa Bay.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nick Muse - Catches touchdown in upset win Muse caught both of his targets for two yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-20 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Impact Muse played 21 offensive snaps and 20 special-teams snaps in Sunday's game. The No. 4 tight end proved that versatility can lead to production, making the most of his red zone opportunities and cashing in for a key score as the Falcons broke the 49ers' undefeated streak.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Khalil Herbert - Reverts to practice squad Herbert reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Herbert was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's 29-20 win against the 49ers, when he served as Bijan Robinson's backup due to the absence of Brian Robinson (hamstring). Herbert was on the field for only 11 of the Falcons' 68 snaps (16.2 percent), although he nearly nearly found the end zone early in the second half on a 19-yard catch, but he was ruled out of bounds just short of the goal line. The sixth-year running back added two carries for nine yards and turned two kickoff returns into 65 yards, and he could be elevated for Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Nov. 1 depending on the health of the Falcons' backfield.
