The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan was 19-for-42 for 289 yards with a touchdown pass and three interceptions Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints.

The Huddle Take: This isn't the time to jump off the Ryan bandwagon but he has had some struggles in his last two games. This week the Falcons host the Redskins, who held Donovan McNabb to 156 yards and one TD in Week 7.

ESPN.com reports Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith said during an interview with Sirius NFL Radio that QB Matt Ryan (illness) returned to the team's facility Tuesday, Sept. 8, watching film and feeling fine.

The Huddle Take: Ryan sat out Monday's practice because he wasn't feeling well, but it wasn't anything serious and he'll be good to go against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan had another strong preseason game Saturday, Aug. 29, hitting 14-of-20 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown against the San Diego Chargers.

The Huddle Take: Ryan continues to build on a exceptional rookie season where he emerged as the unquestioned leader of the Atlanta offense. With Michael Turner controlling the ground game for the Falcons, opposing defenses will have a hard time focusing on Ryan and the passing game in 2009.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan is bigger, stronger and more athletic entering his second season in the NFL. He took to the weight room following last season. WR Roddy White said it has helped Ryan's arm, as he is now able to throw the ball further. Other players noted he also scrambles better this season. His growth has also come in the offense, according to WR Brian Finneran, who noted Ryan is more comfortable in the offense, calling plays and knows what to expect better.

The Huddle Take: Neither Ryan nor the Falcons are going to sneak up on anyone as they did in 2008, but he should still put up numbers worthy of a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback, and would be a good mid-round pickup.


Posted: 8/22/2009 12:24pm et

The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan was 7-for-8 for 81 yards with a touchdown pass over two series during the team�s preseason game Friday, Aug. 21.

The Huddle Take: Ryan is looking very sharp and with Tony Gonzalez on the team now, it certainly looks like a sophomore slump is unlikely. Draft Ryan with confidence that he'll do not worse than 2008 and likely better.


Posted: 4/9/2009 11:35pm et

ESPN.com, reports Atlanta Falcons LB Mike Peterson said QB Matt Ryan reminds him of a young Peyton Manning. 'I don't want to put any pressure on him,' Peterson said. 'But I've got to tell the truth. He reminds me of a young Peyton (Manning). I was with Peyton in Indianapolis early in my career and Matt is just like him. Matt's going to be a great one in this league for a long time to come. It's going to be fun to come off that field and watch him and that offense.'

The Huddle Take: What an endoresement for Matt Ryans to even be compared to Peyton Manning at this stage of his career. However, it is evident that the Falcons signal-caller has all the tools to vault himself to stardom sooner rather than later. Fantasy owners should view Matt Ryans as a low-end No. 1 starter with the potential to be an elite quarterback as soon as this season.


Posted: 11/30/2008 8:53pm et

The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan went 17-for-23 for 207 yards and two touchdowns in the team's Week 13 game.

The Huddle Take: The Falcons rookie quarterback Matt Ryan continues to impress and also continues to win in his inaugural season with Atlanta. There is tremendous ability and talent surrounding the Falcon signal-caller and the sky is the limit for him and his team as they continue their march to the playoffs this year. Fantasy owners could do far worse than have the Atlanta quarterback on their team for the playoff run.
