Scouting report

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Tennessee
Matt Ryan completed 30-of-44 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons Week 6 loss to the Titans. He also fumbled three times, losing one as Atlanta played a sloppy game as a whole. Ryan wanted to throw deep off play-action several times throughout the night, but often held onto the ball too long and took a punishing. Part of that may have been because Julio Jones had issues creating separation in coverage due to a lingering hamstring issue. The 10 days between the Saints game and Sunday's matchup with the Titans should help the entire Falcons offense. If Jones gets back to tormenting defenses, Ryan's 17.1 fantasy points per game average will climb. For now, he's our QB8 for Week 7 and should be in your lineup.

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New Orleans
Matt Ryan completed 24-of-42 passes for 254 yards with two interceptions in the Falcons Week 5 win over the Redskins. He also had a touchdown taken away from him when an apparent completion to Devonta Freeman was ruled incomplete after Freeman had reached the ball over the end zone, but failed to maintain possession throughout the entirety of the catch. After turning the ball over three times last Sunday (he also lost a fumble inside Washington territory), Ryan should rebound against the 32nd-ranked fantasy defense against quarterbacks. That said, if Julio Jones (hamstring) doesn't play, it will certainly affect Ryan's stat line. He's still a good start based on the matchup and currently ranks as our QB4 for Week 6.

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Washington
Matt Ryan completed 19-of-27 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons Week 4 win over the Texans. Considering Atlanta racked up 48 points, it was somewhat of a disappointing line, but Ryan nevertheless continues to impress. Through four weeks, he's on pace to rack up 24 touchdowns and currently ranks as fantasy's seventh-best quarterback. Washington's defense has played better than expected this season, but it still ranks 25th against fantasy quarterbacks this season. Ryan ranks as our No. 3 quarterback for Week 5 and should be in your lineup.

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Houston
Matt Ryan completed 24-of-36 attempts for 285 yards with two touchdowns in the Falcons come-from-behind win over the Cowboys in Week 3. For the season, he's averaging 19.7 fantasy points per game and continues to look comfortable running Kyle Shanahan's offense. Unlike the previous two seasons, the Falcons pass protection is also giving Ryan time to find open receivers and Atlanta has found some semblance of a running game as well. Ryan plays against fantasy's No. 28-ranked defense this week when the Texans come to town. He's our QB5 for Week 4 and should be in your lineup.

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Dallas
Matt Ryan completed 30-of-46 passes for 363 yards and one touchdown in the Falcons 24-20 win over the Giants in Week 2. He would have had another touchdown in the fourth quarter, but Julio Jones was ruled down at the 1-yard line following a 37-yard reception and a review of the play. Ryan will face fantasy's No. 18-ranked defense vs. quarterbacks this week in Dallas and is our QB8 for Week 3. With defenses basically unable to cover Jones through two weeks and Atlanta's pass protection holding up reasonably well, Ryan remains an elite quarterback option.

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at New York Giants
Matt Ryan finished 23-of-34 for 298 yards with two touchdowns and two costly interceptions in the Falcons 26-24 win over the Eagles in Week 1. Philadelphia linebacker Kiko Alonso made an incredible one-handed interception in the end zone for Ryan's first pick, which could have been a touchdown to Roddy White had the quarterback thrown the ball a foot higher. It was still a good night for Ryan, but he left points on the table. He has a great matchup this week against the Giants and fantasy's No. 26 pass defense, and ranks as our QB4 for Week 2. He should be in your lineup.

ATL QB Matt Ryan - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.
