Quarterbacks

Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons ($8,500)

Coming off of a disappointing 2015 campaign, Matt Ryan has been a revelation this season. He leads the league with a monstrous 95.05 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP), and among passers with at least 100 drop backs, Ryan is 3rd in Passing NEP per drop back -- behind only Tom Brady. Ryan is likely to continue his scorching-hot play this week with a matchup against a banged-up Green Bay Packers' secondary in a game which features the highest over/under of the week at 52.5. With the Atlanta Falcons locked in as 2.5-point favorites at home, Ryan is an outstanding play in all formats.
