Summary

Quarterback Rank: #5All Players: #32

Ryan took his game to a new level last season, taking charge of the Falcons new up-tempo, pass-first offense. Ryan set career highs in yardage, completion percentage and touchdowns. He had a monster season, having seven games with three or more scores and seven 300-yard games. This was his second straight season with at least 4,000-passing yards and three touchdowns. Ryan has at least 28 touchdowns three straight seasons. Ryan is an accurate, intelligent quarterback with a strong arm and the ability to fit the ball in tight spaces. He also has a great grasp of what the Falcons are trying to do offensively, which helps his production. And at age 28, Ryan is in the prime of his career. If there is a knock on him, he can flop in the big game but erased some of that last season.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Ryan has become a legit No. 1 fantasy quarterback. His numbers keep getting better and better. He is a top-ten fantasy quarterback, capable of being a top five in this offense. He can at least match last season and maybe get better, getting 5,000 yards and 40 touchdowns. He has the talent around him to post monster numbers.

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan is entering the last year of a $72 million contract, and could be the next quarterback to join the $100 million dollar club with his next contract. Baltimore Raven's QB Joe Flacco's new contract is a comparable for Ryan's next deal, according to Andrew Brandt of ESPN. "It's yet another comparable and data point for Matt Ryan," said Andrew Brandt, ESPN's NFL business analyst and former chief negotiator for the Green Bay Packers. "The gold standard was Drew Brees, at least on the average at $20 million (per season). Now, you have $20.1 million. It's certainly a place they could look at as the freshest data point."

Mar 02 08:12 am

The Atlanta Falcons' decision to release RB Michael Turner, DE John Abraham and CB Dunta Robinson could have been made, in part, with QB Matt Ryan's next contract in mind. Ryan is scheduled to head into the final season of his contract in 2013, and the team wants to sign him to a long-term deal this offseason. Ryan will likely cost $15 million to $20 million a season.
