Matt Ryan throws two touchdowns in Thanksgiving Night loss.

Ryan was 35/47 for 377 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception along with two carries for 16 yards and one fumble lost. Ryan’s 16 rushing yards were a team-high, as the Falcons did not commit to the running game and didn’t have much room to run on their attempts. And Atlanta moved the ball, but four turnovers (three fumbles and the interception) had them leave a lot of points on the field in their 31-17 loss. Overall, Ryan was pressured throughout the game (the Saints sacked him six times) and might have been trying to do too much at times, but he had a fine game. The first touchdown was to Calvin Ridley on an in-breaking route in back of the end zone, and the second was to Tevin Coleman on an angle route with under two minutes remaining. On the Falcons’ first drive, Ryan was about to throw a quick slant to Julio Jones at the goal line, but interior pressure caused a strip sack as he went to throw the ball. And late in the game, Calvin Ridley caught an in-breaking route and fumbled it inside the one-yard line, so this could have been an even bigger game for Matty Ice. Ryan has a tough matchup with the Ravens next week, but he remains a QB1 option given the point totals he’s put up this season.

Michael Gallup caught two passes for 19 yards in Thursday’s win over Washington.

Gallup also had an opportunity on a deep ball in the second half, but it was slightly underthrown by Dak Prescott. The rookie gets a good matchup next week against the Saints, but he won’t be a recommended fantasy option.

Dalton Schultz catches one pass for -1 yard in Week 12.

Schultz is not a recommended fantasy option and does not currently have to be owned in fantasy leagues.

Jamize Olawale catches one pass against the Redskins.

Olawale gained ten yards on his lone reception in the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving win. Dallas’ fullback isn’t a recommended fantasy option.

Noah Brown catches one pass in Week 12.

Brown gained 22 yards on his lone reception against the Redskins. Brown has upside, but he’s just a deep-league dynasty-league option for now.

Cole Beasley held to one reception in Thanksgiving victory.

It went for five yards. Beasley should be more involved next week against the Saints, but he’s not a highly recommended fantasy option outside of deep PPR leagues.

Blake Jarwin catches two passes in Week 12.

Jarwin gained 25 yards, which was actually second on the team as Amari Cooper dominated with 180 of Dak Prescott’s 289 passing yards. Jarwin is not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.
