These days, the conversation around Matt Ryan starts with his age (37), his declining skills, and his sagging stat line. But I don't think anyone can reasonably argue that Ryan was playing with anything resembling a stacked deck in Atlanta last year. He played behind an o-line that has allowed Ryan to be sacked 123 times over his last three seasons (42 in 2018, 41 in 2020, and 40 in 2021 - three of the four worst totals of his career). He was playing with a converted WR/KR at RB, and a receiving corps that lost Julio Jones to free agency and missed the real Calvin Ridley for most of the season. That left him throwing to a group led by an inconsistent Russell Gage, who is not a true WR1, and TE Kyle Pitts, a talented pass catcher, but a rookie nonetheless.
Despite the perception that he has lost a little something off his game, he still ranked in the top 10 among NFL quarterbacks in completions, and just outside the top 10 in attempts and passing yards. He gets banged for his lack of mobility, and yes he was 19th in touchdown passes and 18th in yards per attempt (just five spots behind Patrick Mahomes, incidentally), but given the supporting cast, I think some of that can be forgiven. I mean, at 36, do we really expect him to still carry a team? Tom Brady is the exception, not the rule!
So now he steps into a run-first offense under QB whisperer Frank Reich that will accentuate his abilities as a play-action passer, slow the pass rush behind an offensive line light years ahead of where the Falcons group was, and give him opportunities to throw to a true WR1 in Michael Pittman Jr. He'll have Parris Campbell in the slot, and exciting rookie Alec Pierce, as well as TE Mo Allie-Cox, who has flashed as a receiver who can challenge the seam, a bread and butter route for a guy like Ryan who has made a career throwing to guys like Pitts, Tony Gonzalez, and Austin Hooper among others. Oh yeah, and RB's Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines each had 40 receptions in 2021 (top 25 at their position in the NFL).
I realize I'm seriously in the minority here, but while most fantasy experts will call Ryan a low-end QB2, I think he could be looking at something closer to low-end QB1. He's in a great spot, in an offense that will play to his strengths, with a supporting cast that will allow him to do what he does without putting too much on his plate.

Colts make a move at QB: Nick Foles will start
Matt Ryan to the bench
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Dec 21, 11:58 am
|  | The Colts are changing quarterbacks again. Nick Foles will take over for Matt Ryan as the starter Monday Night against the Chargers, and the plan is for Foles to start the final three games of the season. Announcement expected Wednesday afternoon. (Dan Graziano on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: HC Jeff Saturday stated that the offense wasn't making enough plays downfield and hopefully Foles will offer that opportunity. This is the second time Ryan has been benched this season. Foles is a QB2 option moving forward for a team playing out the string. Upcoming schedule: LAC, @NYG, HOU.
| Davis Mills back in the starting lineup for Houston
Kyle Allen back to the bench
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Dec 7, 11:35 am
|  | Lovie Smith: 'Davis (Mills) will start for us this week and we expect two weeks from watching from the sidelines to help.' (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Kyle Allen got two starts at quarterback for the Texans and threw 2 touchdowns and 4 INTs, averaging 213 yards. It's hard to get excited about Mills' fantasy prospects this week facing a Dallas defense that destroyed Matt Ryan and the Colts last Sunday night. Mills is a low-end QB2 in Week 14.
| Colts part ways with HC Frank Reich
Mid-way through fifth season
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Nov 7, 11:38 am
| | We have parted ways with head coach Frank Reich. (Jim Irsay on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: As pointed out by beat writer Zak Keefer, the Colts have started the last five seasons with a fresh quarterback. Not ideal if you're trying to sustain chemistry. Matt Ryan was benched a couple weeks ago, offensive coordinator Marcus Brady was fired last week. They scored 3 points against the Patriots in Week 9. The Colts are last in scoring and 30th in yards per play.
