SUMMARY
Quarterback Rank: #10   
Overall: #52


Like many young quarterbacks, Ryan had a breakout season his third in the league. He posted career highs in yards, touchdowns, completion percentage and threw the fewest interceptions of his career. Ryan threw for almost 4,000 yards and had 28 touchdowns to just nine interceptions. Ryan has 50 touchdown passes his last two seasons. Ryan had touchdowns in all but a game last season and had multiple touchdown games nine times. He took his game to a different level last season. The Falcons like to run the ball with Michael Turner, but aren't afraid to put the ball in Ryan's hands. He gets his chances, averaging 36 pass attempts per game last season. 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. And having Roddy White on his side doesn't hurt matters for Ryan.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Ryan has become a legit No. 1 fantasy quarterback. His numbers keep getting better and better. We are looking for his first 4,000-yard season this year. He'll get you around 30 scores as well, making him one of the first 10 quarterbacks that should come off the board come draft day. He is the real deal.
Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan went 24-for-41 for 199 yards against the New York Giants in the team's Wild Card playoff game.
Fantasy Impact: It was a disappointing showing for Ryan in a big game. He had a good season but isn't in that elite level of QBs just yet.

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan is 43-19 as a starter in four NFL season, but he is 0-2 in the playoffs. He'll meet the New York Giants in the Wild Card round Sunday, Jan. 8, looking for his first playoff win. 'I know that we've had two postseason games prior to this,' head coach Mike Smith said Wednesday, Jan. 4. 'We haven't gotten the outcome we wanted. We are learning from those experiences. We're going to use those as growing experiences and we're looking forward to competing this week, and that's just not (Matt). That's Mike Smith, every member of our team.'
