ggroovy17 0 Posted December 20, 2011 Atlanta @ New Orleans seems it should be a shootout. What kinda stats do you think Matt Ryan has this week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoadLizard 73 Posted December 20, 2011 He should be OK but realize that playing on the road is always tougher for Matt. The noise will slow down the no huddle and even though The Saints aren't a great defense, they are a helluva lot better than the Jokesenville Jaguars. I say 270 yards and 2 TDs.

edjr 5,567 Posted December 20, 2011 Ryan is a top 1 QB this week. I am playing him in the finals, along with Roddy White Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p.man 7 Posted December 20, 2011 Take the over and start everyone you can in this game. I am starting... M.Ryan 300 yards with 3 total Td's. 1 of them could actually be rushing. M.Colston 90 and 1 J.Graham 80 and 1 or 2 J.Kasey 2fg's 4 extra pt's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P.I. 0 Posted December 20, 2011 i am starting sproles with confidence, but what's the deal with him only posting 2 fantasy points the last time out against the falcons this year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoadLizard 73 Posted December 20, 2011 i am starting sproles with confidence, but what's the deal with him only posting 2 fantasy points the last time out against the falcons this year... Thats Sproles and its why he cant be counted on all the time. Things have to line up right for him to have a big fantasy game. He was huge last week so thqat doesnt bode well for him this week being an up and down player. Stioll ya gotta play him unless you have a much better option.

The Hood 9 Posted December 20, 2011 i am starting sproles with confidence, but what's the deal with him only posting 2 fantasy points the last time out against the falcons this year... Falcons really sold out trying to stop him. Sometimes had a safety man up on him. DE's sometimes barely rushed and made a point to try and bump him when he went out in a route. They were really keying on him whenever he was in. This led to the Falcons getting gashed on a bunch of long pass plays to the other guys though. They basically picked their poison. Since the game was close do they do it again or sit back and try to keep the WR's from getting deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CincinnatiDan 0 Posted December 20, 2011 In my championship game I'm leaning towards starting Matt Ryan over Cam Newton this week since QBs get 1 point per completion in our league and the Carolina RBs are coming alive more lately (taking points away from Cam). I can't go wrong with either, but since my opponent has Brees and I'm depending on Julio Jones having a big game anyways...I'm thinking I gotta go with Ryan.

ggroovy17 0 Posted December 21, 2011 Thinking of starting Ryan over Romo. Romo seems to struggle against the Eagles, MNF should be a shootout. Ryan will need to keep up with Brees and the Saints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they sell out to stop him again you'd think he should be able to scrape up some average yds and catches atleast this game. About time he busted a punt return TD too hopefully. I really don't have much option to sit him. If Locker starts I might go Nate Washington over him but that doesn't look like its happpening. No one else is a thought.

Maroon Bells 18 Posted December 21, 2011 If I were the Falcons, my game plan going into NO would be to play ball control. That said, it WILL eventually turn into a pretty high scoring game, but if I had to bet, I'd say more like 34 to 27, with Ryan throwing 2 TDs and 280 yards. I'm playing Newton over Ryan.
