Matt Ryan was an MVP in both real life and fantasy football last season, but he hasn’t quite reached those heights in 2017. Through 10 games, he has just 15 touchdowns to eight interceptions, already topping his pick total from last year. That said, his numbers are more or less in line with the rest of his career, further proving how historic his 2016 campaign was.
Fantasy football start sit Week 12: What to do with Matt Ryan
Ryan still hasn’t been at his MVP best, but he’s settled in as a quality starter. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ryan didn’t pop the stat sheet against the Seattle Seahawks, but he did enough to lead a road upset, throwing two touchdown passes, 195 yards, and no interceptions on 19-of-27 passing.
Fantasy impact: While Ryan isn’t an MVP this season, he’s settled back in as a quality QB1 after a shaky start to the year. He’ll have one of his better matchups of the year when the Falcons play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Tampa’s defense has collapsed and is giving up the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, bleeding passing yards all year. Fire up Ryan as a confident starter in all league formats.
Recommendation: Start
