The Atlanta Falcons and fantasy owners look to continue their playoff push on the shoulders of Matt Ryan when they face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 13: Start or sit Falcons QB Matt Ryan vs. Vikings?
We break down the fantasy implications of Matt Ryan facing a tough Vikings defense.
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports
Ryan hasn’t had quite the fantasy season everyone had hoped for after his magical 2016 season, but he still ranks sixth in fantasy scoring among quarterbacks over the last five weeks. He’s thrown for two touchdowns in four of his last five games and has just two interceptions in his last six games.
However, Ryan now faces his toughest test of the season in a Vikings defense that routinely shuts down quarterbacks. Opposing passers have thrown just 12 touchdowns against the Vikings this season, including three over the last five weeks.
Fantasy Advice: Minnesota enters Week 13 allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. This is just too unfavorable of a matchup for Ryan, so keep him on the bench this week.
