Quarterback Rank: #65
Overall: #375
After a career year in '07, Redman didn't see the field last season. He was the backup to Matt Ryan, who took every snap. Redman should remain in a backup role with the Falcons. And he is a valuable backup, having starting experience and some past success. Redman is a former high draft pick, so the talent is there. He is a pretty good arm and is fairly accurate.

Unless Ryan gets hurt, don't bother with Redman. And even if Ryan goes down, Redman isn't anything more than a spot starter or backup for fantasy teams. |

| The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons QB Chris Redman isn't ready to hand over the starting job to rookie QB Matt Ryan. Ryan is clearly the team's quarterback of the future after they drafted him in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft, but Redman wants to be the team's No. 1 quarterback when the season begins. Redman, the incumbent starter, said he feels he has earned respect around the team and he will be OK as long as he does his part. Redman completed 59.7 percent of his passes last year for 1,079 yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. His 90.7 quarterback rating in 2007 was the best of any of the quarterbacks on the team. |
