Week 1 vs. Philadelphia
Matt Ryan has a tasty matchup on Monday night when the Eagles bring their No. 29-ranked fantasy pass defense to Atlanta, but there are some concerns. Left tackle Jake Matthews should play, but was limited in practice this week and needed an epidural steroid injection to deal with a strained back suffered in the third preseason game. The Falcons will also start a new center in Mike Person and a new left guard in Andy Levitre, who was acquired from Tennessee just last week. None of this should force you to sit Ryan, who is our QB4 in standard leagues this week. But there are concerns Philly pass-rushers Brandon Graham and Connor Barwin might have a field day with Atlanta's offensive line. All of that being said, Ryan should be in your lineup ahead of Monday night's kickoff.
