News and Notes
Nov 19 With the status of both Michael Turner (ankle) and Jerious Norwood (hip) still uncertain for Sunday against the Giants, Ryan may have more attempts than usual if the Falcons' running game struggles.

Recommendation: You should be starting Ryan anyway, but the team's success on Sunday will lean on Ryan's shoulders more so than any game in the quarterback's career. Jason Snelling, the odds-on starter if Turner and Norwood are unavailable, has shown promise in special running situations, but has had a history of injury himself after being placed on the IR last season. After beginning the season completing nearly 67 percent of his passes with only two interceptions over a 3-1 start, he has thrown 10 interceptions and completed under 55 percent in his last five games. With that said, Ryan is due for a breakout game.

Nov 17 QB Matt Ryan has completed 178 of 298 passes (59.7 percent) for 2,008 yards, 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He has a quarterback rating of 78.88. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 16 Ryan was 22 of 41 for 224 yards and one touchdown Sunday in a 28-19 loss to Carolina. He has eight INTs in his last four games.

Advice: The Falcons believe Ryan will bounce back against the struggling Giants - losers of four straight - next Sunday. "I don't think there's anything technically wrong with him," receiver Michael Jenkins said of Ryan. "We've just got to limit turnovers and execute better." Fantasy owners should beware, however.
