8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2
Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons
At this point, we pretty much know what we're going to get with Matt Ryan. He's not going to post elite fantasy numbers, and he's not going to impress with his efficiency. He has finished as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy points per game in four of the last six seasons though, and in this week's matchup against the Oakland Raiders, he is a solid fantasy option.
Oakland ranked 17th in schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing NEP in 2015, and they allowed a huge 423 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1.
Our projections have him as the ninth-ranked fantasy quarterback of the week, projecting him to go 26 of 40 for 295 yards with 1.97 touchdowns and 0.96 interceptions. That's not an elite line, but it is solid production for a guy who can be had off the waiver wire in most leagues.
