2024 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie fifth-round pick, Bertrand finds himself in a log jam behind Kaden Elliss, Troy Andersen and Nate Landman. However, if Bertrand fails to play his way into a rotational role defensively, the Notre Dame product should make an impact on special teams in Year 1. Read Past Outlooks
Will be sidelined Week 9
Bertrand (concussion) won't play against the Cowboys on Sunday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Bertrand was concussed in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay and hasn't cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. The linebacker logged 73 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 5 but has otherwise played primarily on special teams. Bertrand's absence Sunday could pave the way for Rashaan Evans, who was signed to the 53-player roster Friday, to see some work on defense immediately.

Dan Marcus focuses on IDPs worthy of a Week 6 pickup, including JD Bertrand, who played 73 percent of defensive snaps in Week 5 and logged five tackles, which should continue if Troy Andersen remains out.
Assuming Kirk Cousins continues to make good progress from last season's torn Achilles, the Falcons have all the pieces in place to reach the postseason for the first time since 2017.
