"The 25-year-old Heath is an interesting flier for a team as receiver-starved as Atlanta. The former undrafted free agent is listed at 6'2", 213 pounds and has appeared in 37 games for Green Bay in his career with a pair of starts, reeling in 31 grabs on 44 targets for 308 yards and three touchdowns. He also plays sparingly on special teams, if the Falcons want to try him out there to help their awful coverage units."
"It may take a little time to get Heath up to speed, so I'm not necessarily expecting him to be on the field for Thursday Night Football against the Buccaneers. Given his youth and solid work as a short-to-intermediate threat for Green Bay in his limited opportunities, Heath is a player who might make something of his audition and end up here longer than the final four weeks of the season. Lord knows the Falcons could use the help."
Atlanta claimed former Green Bay receiver Malik Heath off waivers ahead of Week 15 and released safety Jordan Fuller. Heath, 25, is a 6'2", 213-pound former undrafted free agent who has appeared in 37 games with 31 catches on 44 targets for 308 yards and three touchdowns, plus limited special teams experience. He projects as a short-to-intermediate threat who may need time to learn the offense but could earn a longer stay if he performs. Fuller had minimal defensive role and limited special teams impact; the safety group has Xavier Watts and Jessie Bates available while DeMarcco Hellams is injured.
