Falcons Passing Game

Matt Ryan enters his age-35 campaign as a non-sexy but high-floor late-round QB1 pick set to play 11-of-15 fantasy-relevant games indoors, another in Green Bay in early October, two more in Carolina and L.A., and the 15^th in a potential Arrowhead shootout versus Patrick Mahomes. In addition to environmentally favorable, Atlanta draws the NFL’s toughest schedule based on opponents’ sportsbook Win Totals, suggesting Ryan will spend much of 2020 trying to throw his team out of scoreboard holes. The Falcons finished second in the league in offensive plays per game and led the NFL in pass attempts in Dirk Koetter’s 2019 return as offensive coordinator, and this year’s team could easily air it out more.
