5 years agoAtlanta Falcons quarterback Kurt Benkert looked good on Thursday despite his team falling to the Denver Broncos in the first preseason game of the season. The 24-year-old, who exited the game prematurely after suffering a toe injury, finished the night by going 19-for-24 for 185 yards in addition to completing a touchdown pass to running back Brian Hill. Benkert is in his second season with the club, spending the 2018 season with the practice squad. He will continue to battle veteran Matt Schaub, who finished with only 10 yards on four completions (14 attempts), for the second spot on the team's depth chart behind quarterback Matt Ryan. Though he has barely any fantasy value at the moment, you may hear his name again at some point during the regular season.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
