Matt Ryan, Devin Hester's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 4

Andrew GouldSep 28, 2014

Matt Ryan has firmly entrenched himself back among the elite fantasy football quarterbacks, and he's reviving Devin Hester's stock in the process.    

On the road against the Minnesota Vikings, Ryan has a trio of touchdowns, the third a 36-yard connection to Hester, whom Atlanta acquired during the offseason.

As noted by CBS Fantasy Football, Hester did most of the work:

Ryan had sandwiched a three-interception outing in between two masterful performances at the Georgia Dome. He discussed the difficulty of playing on the road ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure.

"It's one of those things, it is what it is," Ryan said. "Going on the road in this league is tough, especially when you're playing against good football teams."

Fox Sports' Coy Wire helped explain Ryan's revival to superstar quarterback this year:

His 10 touchdowns are more than enough to excuse that one hiccup in Week 2. Despite the two interceptions accrued playing from behind, he'll joust with Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford for two of the final top-five fantasy quarterback slots. 

While Hester has put himself back on the map, he's still not quite a weekly start. He's too reliant on the big play, exiting September with just 10 catches. He's worth owning for added depth, but is more of a No. 4 wideout.
