Fantasy standout Matt Ryan named NFC Offensive Player of the Month
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for September on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.


Fantasy Impact: Ryan has been a fantasy force through four games this season so the award isn't a surprise to fantasy owners who have him. The Falcons have shifted to a more pass-heavy offense this season to help Ryan take advantage of targets like Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez. As long as everyone stays healthy, this should continue into Week 5 and for the rest of the season.
