Matt Ryan Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 10-for-14 for 118 yards in the team's third preseason game against the Jets on Thursday. The offensive line failed to protect him, though, as he took three sacks and was hurried nine times. That's not a good sign early on, as Ryan was sacked 42 times in 2018. The offensive line is something to watch, but Ryan's fantasy stock is way up in 2019 after he accumulated 4,924 yards, 35 touchdowns and only seven interceptions last season. He finished only behind Patrick Mahomes in terms of fantasy points. You should be more than satisfied if you have Ryan as your starting QB with plenty of playmakers around him. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 5 fantasy signal-caller.

Earlier in the week, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Matt Ryan would play a few series in Thursday's preseason opener against the Dolphins. But with rain forecasted for the game, it appears the Falcons are playing it safe and resting Ryan. Matt Schaub and Matt Simms will split the snaps in Thursday's game, with Simms likely seeing the majority of the work.

The Atlanta Falcons made it a priority to get quarterback Matt Ryan some more protection on the offensive line in last week's draft, selecting two offensive linemen in the first round last Thursday after Ryan was sacked 42 times in 2018, the second highest total of his career. Guard Chris Lindstrom was the 14th overall pick and right tackle Kaleb McGary went 31st overall. It was just the second time the Falcons took two offensive linemen with their first two picks since 2012. Head coach Dan Quinn is hesitant to name both rookies immediate starters, but there's a chance they both slot in right away.
