Matt Ryan

He also has a difficult matchup in a week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have been tough on running backs so far this season.
Jeremy Hill
Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill is one of the most boom or bust running backs in the NFL. His usage is very limited based on game flow. If Cincinnati is winning Hill sees plenty of touches and opportunities to score fantasy points. However if the Bengals are losing like they were last week they will use fellow running back Giovanni Bernard as their main running back. Bernard is more of a receiving back, while Hill is more of a bruiser. In week six Hill has a difficult matchup against the New England Patriots who have been tough on running back so far the season. This game could be a shootout which could limit Hills touches.
Golden Tate
