Matt Ryan was nearly perfect on Thursday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He completed 21-of-24 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns, and he was pulled from the game early after the Atlanta Falcons took a 56-0 lead.

Ryan could have easily broken the 300-yard mark, but the Falcons eased up with such a massive lead. After a tough game in Cincinnati, Ryan proved once again that he can be a dominant quarterback at home.
Fantasy impact: He went off in Week 1, threw three picks in Week 2 and went off in Week 3. Ryan’s season is riding a wave at the moment, but he continues to show what he’s capable of when playing at the Georgia Dome.
Next week the Falcons take on the Minnesota Vikings on the road. Their defense is allowing the fewest points to opposing quarterbacks so far, but the sample size isn’t the best to draw from. Ryan will be a QB1 again.
