Matt Ryan has tried to improve his footwork this offseason by practicing in front of a mirror.
Ryan has used the mirror to work on his timing after a career-worst 2015 season that included just 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. The 31-year-old still completed over 66 percent of his passes, so he doesn't need to overhaul his approach. The Falcons remain thin at wide receiver behind Julio Jones, though offseason signing Mohamed Sanu should be an improvement on Roddy White, who had nothing left last year.

Geez, he didn't go until the 5th in our rookie/FA. Well done.I sold him for a 3rd round pick in my dynasty league....no faith in him.
update?I don't think this guy is a very good fantasy QB. Backup material at best imo
Unbelievable. I had this turd last year and he did nothing. He still sucks though... pretty sure Matt Stafford has finished as a Top 5 QB beforeupdate?
Many Falcons fans believe this system is finally a system that fits Ryan. He's currently the numero uno QB.
Ryan always showed flashes. He's never had this many weapons or a team that could run effectively.Unbelievable. I had this turd last year and he did nothing. He still sucks though... pretty sure Matt Stafford has finished as a Top 5 QB before
He wasn't anywhere near this good. Lots of red zone interceptions, wasn't hitting Jjones on the deep passes, was struggling with his check downs and the OL wasn't anywhere near this solid.Didn't they start good last year and then fizzled out? I am not buying him being this good all year
They stalled in (or near) the redzone 3 times as usual when I start him. That was a 4 TD game that he should have had.Anybody getting even a little nervous about him regressing a bit as the season goes on? Would have thought the matchup vs Sd at home would have yielded way more points for him. Mediocre stat line and it could have easily been worse with at least one more possible pick that Sd dropped.
How are Ryan owners feeling this week and going forward?
Which was his biggest problem last year as well. The yards are always there every year. What made him an excellent start earlier this season was the TDs. Good point!They stalled in (or near) the redzone 3 times as usual when I start him. That was a 4 TD game that he should have had.
He doesn't have an easy schedule going forward either and N.O. is week 17 so that one is meaningless in my leagues.Which was his biggest problem last year as well. The yards are always there every year. What made him an excellent start earlier this season was the TDs. Good point!
He's great. No doubt. Can't wait for this weekend.
Oh myRyan doing his typical late season cool down, Jones and Sanu both battling injuries. Anybody concerned with this trip to L.A.? Plan B for me is Carr at Arrowhead tonight. Coin toss . . .
That's a no brainer. Matt Ryan. Newton is garbage, There is some concern going forward obviously without Shanahan calling the O.in a dynasty keeper league if you can only keep one, cam newton or matt ryan??
Matt Ryan's 2016 touchdown rate (touchdowns/pass attempts) of 7.1 percent was nearly two full percentage points above his previous career high and 2.6 percent higher than Ryan's previous career average.
Whereas Ryan was a prime progression candidate entering 2016, he is a major regression candidate for 2017. Prior to last season, Ryan had never before finished above the fantasy QB7 in a nearly decade-long career. Ryan has now lost OC Kyle Shanahan, and Julio Jones underwent his third known left-foot surgery in March.
