FLOWERY BRANCH — A look at the teams on the Falcons' schedule and how they have reconstructed their roster since the season's end:

GAME ONE: CHICAGO BEARS

GAME TWO: GREEN BAY PACKERS

GAME THREE: DETROIT LIONS

GAME FOUR: BUFFALO BILLS

GAME FIVE: MIAMI DOLPHINS

Dolphins at Falcons, at 1 p.m. Oct. 15

Key free agent signings: Linebacker Lawrence Timmons; tight end Julius Thomas; guard Ted Larsen, safety Nate Allen; tight end Anthony Fasano and safety T.J. McDonald.

Miami's 2017 NFL Draft

Weaknesses: The Dolphins must stop the run. They gave up 140.4 yards per game last season, which ranked 30th in the league. Teams averaged 4.84 yards per rush against the Dolphins, which was 31st in the league. Offensively, the Dolphins offensive line was weak. There were 10 games where Miami rushed for less than 100 yards.

Strengths: The emergence of running back Jay Ajayi, who rushed for more than 1,200 yards last season took pressure of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught 94 passes for 1,136 yards and four touchdowns last season.

Comment: The Dolphins went 10-6 last and made their first appearance in the playoff since 2008.
