Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons

Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons have been an utter disappointment this season–I promise the fact that Ryan is my fantasy QB has nothing to do with this.

For all of the weapons that Ryan has at his disposal, he’s completing just 65 percent of his passes and owns a 92.5 passer rating, which ranks 15th in the league.

The seven-year NFL QB has more games with an interception than not this season, and that doesn’t bode well against an Arizona Cardinals’ ball hawking defense. The Cardinals rank tied for second in the league, with 15 interceptions; two of those went the other way for touchdowns.

Look for Patrick Peterson–who has two interceptions and one returned for a TD–to lock down Julio Jones, who Peterson has already publicly stated that he plans to blanket all game, just like he did to Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant earlier this year.

You should tune into this game to watch that matchup alone, but don’t plan on Ryan having a career day against this talented Arizona defense.
