Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White's Post-Week 12 Fantasy Reaction

It was a day to forget for the Atlanta Falcons, but a memorable one for fantasy owners of their dynamic wide receiving duo. As a result, it was also a solid outing for Matt Ryan as the fantasy playoffs approach.

Ryan went to both Julio Jones and Roddy White early and often with Jones receiving a crucial touchdown. Meanwhile, White tied his season high with nine receptions and his second highest total for yards against the Cleveland Browns.

Comp.-Att.	Pass Yds	TD-INT	Rush Yds	Fantasy Points
27-43	273	2-1	6	17.52

Player	Rec.	Targets	Rec. Yds	Rec. TDs	Fantasy Points
Roddy White	9	10	96	0	9.6
Julio Jones	5	13	68	1	12.8

Two straight weeks of underwhelming performances by Ryan gave way to a great outing against the Browns. The franchise quarterback had multiple touchdowns for just the second time in his last seven games and looks like a viable option moving forward.     

On the receiving end of one of those touchdowns was Jones—his fourth of the season. Jones was effective throughout the game even with a tough matchup against Joe Haden, as Matt Miller of Bleacher Report noted:

White was the beneficiary of targets when Jones wasn't able to break free from Haden. He wasn't able to continue his streak of games with a touchdown, but the 96 receiving yards proves he's a reliable wideout for owners down the stretch.

Going against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13 doesn't sound like a great matchup, but they've actually allowed an average of 23.5 points to wideouts this year. If Ryan can connect with his dynamic receivers again next week, it might be another strong day for the trio.
