9. Matt Ryan, ATL
2020 statistics: 65.0%, 4,581 YDS, 26 TD, 11 INT | 29 ATT, 92 YDS, 2 TD
2021 projections: 65.9%, 4,717 YDS, 31 TD, 7 INT | 31 ATT, 122 YDS, 2 TD
Depending on the status of Julio Jones (the Falcons would be crazy to trade him in our opinion), you could argue that the biggest fantasy winner of the offseason is Ryan. Not only did Atlanta decline to draft a successor with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but they also stayed put and took Florida tight end Kyle Pitts as another top-flight weapon to join Julio and Calvin Ridley. Matty Ice has had nearly identical numbers for the past two years, but he tossed 35 touchdowns with just seven interceptions a few seasons ago (2018), and the former NFL MVP should be thrilled to play under Arthur Smith after the new head coach guided Ryan Tannehill—with fewer weapons—to a 55:12 touchdown-interception ratio in 26 starts. At worst, Ryan should be viewed as a low-end QB1.
“Can’t wait!”
Jones is going to SF.
No he isn’t tf??
Great
