Falcons QB Matt Ryan's deep connection with Harry Douglas down the left sideline drew a rousing reaction from the fans. Ryan continued to establish a rhythm with his primary receivers -- Julio Jones, Roddy White, and Douglas -- in preparation for Friday night's exhibition against the Miami Dolphins. It helps that Ryan is getting a noticeably cleaner pocket, even against the Titans. "I thought today was really good,'' Ryan said. The real key is Ryan having a rhythm with Jones since Jones hasn't played in live action since last October following foot surgery. "... I thought Julio looked really good. Coach [Mike] Smith has him on a number count of his reps. But when he was out there, I thought he ran crisp and looked explosive and made some catches for us. I think he's coming along really nicely. No doubt, he'll be ready to go when we get to the season opener.''

Fantasy Impact: 

Prior to last year’s #14 finish, Ryan had finished in the top 8 for three straight seasons. He’ll get Julio Jones back, which will help. Since Jones has entered the league, Ryan has averaged 18.8 FP in 37 games in which Jones has played. In 14 games without Jones, Ryan has averaged 14.6 FP. In short, Ryan has top 5 potential when his top wideout is available.

His football team now resides in the heart of the Silicon Valley, so it's only natural that San Francisco 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh would describe the maturation of his quarterback in terms a techie could appreciate.

"Colin Kaepernick is at the highest level, where he can auto-correct," Harbaugh said of his fourth-year quarterback at training camp this week. "You know, like auto-correcting in texting or whatever. Even if a coach makes a mistake, it's wrong in the script, the play is called into him wrong, he just auto-corrects it and doesn't ask, 'Hey, is that right or wrong?' "

Fantasy Impact: 

Kaepernick is ranked 8th on our QB list but has a higher ADP (10th round) than some big names under him who are going earlier in drafts - Matt Ryan, Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III for example. The 49ers went out and signed Stevie Johnson to play in the slot and to go with Anquan Bolden and Michael Crabtree, so the weapons are certainly there. With our ranking and his lower ADP, Kaepernick is looking like a pretty good value.

Since entering the NFL, every offseason Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has tried to find something to improve on.

After his rookie season, he did an exhaustive film study of the top quarterbacks in the league.

One offseason, he focused on weight-lifting and getting stronger.

After going 4-12 and suffering through his first losing season, Ryan completed some cognitive work on his brain through a company called CogniSens, Inc.

The firm, which uses a NeuroTracker, which uses some 3-D cognitive training technology, to increase players' awareness and focus.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ryan is another on a long list of QBs you can wait and get later in drafts. He's got some great receivers to throw to, of course, in Roddy White and Julio Jones. He's currently ranked 12th on our list with an ADP is the 9th round. There seems to be a very good chance he bounces back this season which makes him an attractive target.

Falcons WR Julio Jones (foot) looks 'like the Jones of old'

Falcons WR Julio Jones saw his most extensive practice action since undergoing right foot surgery and looked like the Jones of old after sitting out one day. His explosion was evident with every step, and he blew past Desmond Trufant on a play during one-on-one drills. "He's looking good, man," Trufant said of Jones. "To come back like he did ... he didn't do any of the (organized team activities). He was just doing rehab. He didn't miss a beat. That's exactly what we want to see. And he's going to definitely have a comeback season this year." Jones was spectacular and in sync with Matt Ryan. Despite how he looked Sunday, the Falcons won't change the game plan with Jones just yet. He'll be off again Monday.

Fantasy Impact: 

Good news for those targeting Jones as a late first round, early second round option. Still, there is reason to be concerned with his foot and staying healthy. If he does play a full season, we think he's a top-five WR.
