Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a four-year, $5.23 million contract with the Falcons in May of 2022.
Headed to Peach State
The Falcons selected Malone in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 82nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Malone is probably too small to play much defensive end at 6-foot-3, 243 pounds, but the Western Kentucky product was exceptionally productive as an edge defender in college and will get every chance to emerge as an eventual starting outside linebacker in Atlanta's 3-4.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Malone was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 82nd overall. He was productive (60 tackles for loss, 34 sacks and nine forced fumbles across 62 games) as an EDGE defender at Western Kentucky, but he's likely too small (6-foot-3, 243) to be a staple along Atlanta's defensive line, so he projects to be more of a pass-rush specialist at the NFL level. With little competition ahead of him and the Falcons in the middle of a rebuild, it wouldn't be surprising to see him have a major role as a rookie.
