Some guys are just better at home. Usually, home-road splits tend to result in a slight edge in front of the home folks, but Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan hates playing on the road. He's thrown for a passer rating of 115.7 at home (one "home" game was in London) and only has a passer rating of 81.4 on the road.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 12: Matt Ryan
Matt Ryan is at home, so he might be a guy to use this week. How much confidence should fantasy owners have in him?

The Falcons will host the Cleveland Browns this week in a huge game for their playoff chances. Ryan is coming in with some momentum in his last three games with each one resulting in a passer rating of at least 91.7 and only one interception that span. Additionally, this is his first game in the George Dome since Oct. 12 -- interesting decision by the schedule makers, but I digress.
The Browns have been hit and miss over the pass few weeks, but they do rank as the fourth-toughest matchup against fantasy quarterbacks. Cornerback Joe Haden is among the best in the league, but they are a little weak on the other side. That should help the Falcons with their talented set of wideouts.
Fantasy impact: Ryan isn’t the strongest start this week, but the home-field advantage makes him a QB11-14 this week.
