Fantasy Profile: Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons
I never thought this would be said but with offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan and his downfield passing scheme might be exactly what Matt Ryan needs to crack the top seven fantasy quarterbacks for the first time in his career. Falcons wide recievers Julio Jones and Roddy White look like they might be the healthiest they have been in recent years and an improved offensive line might be enough to help Ryan get over the hump. Even if he falls short, a top 10 performance should be in the cards for Matt Ryan this year. He is well worth a mid-round pick in fantasy drafts.
