Week 15 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Matt Ryan completed 28-of-42 passes for 262 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the Falcons’ Week 14 loss to the Packers. Ryan’s fantasy line was good because of the three touchdowns, but he was not. He threw a pick-six in the first half and neither he nor the Falcons recovered. Atlanta’s offensive line has struggled mightily over the past month and with no running game, Ryan is under constant pressure. That said, he has also missed open receivers, especially on deep throws. Over their past five games, the Falcons have scored 20 points or fewer in all five contests. A bounce-back this Sunday isn’t guaranteed, as Atlanta will host an Arizona defense that ranks No. 7 against fantasy quarterback’s this season. Ranked as our QB13 for Week 15, Ryan is nothing more than a low-end starter. If Dak Prescott or Kirk Cousins are still available, those are two QBs ranked higher than Ryan this week.
