Fantasy Analysis
Peterson registered 23 tackles and one interception in limited playing time with Atlanta this season. He wasn't a reliable Fantasy option and should be left untouched in all formats. (Updated 12/28/2011).
Falcons starting linebacker Mike Peterson saw his tackle totals bottom out in 2010 as he had just 59 despite playing 16 games. It looks like Peterson is on the down slope of his career, though he'll tell you he's playing just as he ever was -- but that's because he's a free agent this offseason and wants to start somewhere. We'd consider him as a reserve LB in the deepest of leagues on the hunch he bounces back, but with 12 seasons under his belt it might be time to let him go. (Updated 5/3/11)
