Rush is a major concern if he has to start again, but this was the Diet Lite with Splenda version of the Falcons offense and I'm not sure we can make any sweeping conclusions about it based on the performance or these snap counts.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rush is major concern; Week 1 offense was heavily modified to protect him.

Cooper Rush is identified as a major concern by the source; the Week 1 loss featured a heavily shuffled skill position offense with five receivers and tons of two tight end looks designed to help protect Rush, suggesting the Falcons offense was a 'Diet Lite with Splenda version' and not representative of future performance.
