Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Matt Ryan and 3 QBs for Week 4

The NFL is undeniably a quarterback driven league (as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of passing yards so far this year) and I'm expecting these three signal callers to put up more big numbers on Sunday.

Matt Ryan

Atlanta's offense has been inconsistent to say the least, but Matt Ryan has still managed to put up solid numbers.

He followed up a four touchdown game in Week 2 by dropping 330 yards and a score on Tampa Bay last week.

His completion percentage certainly leaves something to desired, but Ryan will undoubtedly get plenty of opportunities. He threw 47 passes in both Week 1 and Week 3.

He faces a scrappy Seattle pass defense this Sunday, but I think this is the week that Atlanta's offense finally reaches its full potential.

Wide receiver Roddy White is questionable and his presence would definitely help Ryan's numbers. Between White and Julio Jones, the Falcons have one of the league's best receiver tandems.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick has been phenomenal during Buffalo's undefeated start, throwing for 841 yards and 9 touchdowns, which is tied for second in the NFL.

The Harvard grad (media members are required to mention that he went to Harvard) has thrown at least two touchdowns every game this season. I expect nothing less against Cincinnati on Sunday.

The Bengals actually have the league's fifth ranked passing defense, but that's because they've faced Colt McCoy, Kyle Orton, and Alex Smith—not exactly the NFL's elite.

Look for Fitzpatrick to shred the Bengals defense and lead his team to yet another victory.

Matthew Stafford

Stafford and the rest of the Lions offense has been ridiculous this year. He's thrown for at least 294 yards and 2 touchdowns in every game thus far. 

His 9 touchdown passes make him tied with Drew Brees and the aforementioned Fitzpatrick for second in the league. I expect at least 3 more touchdowns from him against Dallas on Sunday.

In a battle of high powered passing attacks, expect plenty of throws from both Stafford and Tony Romo.

But Stafford has a major advantage in that he's throwing to Calvin "Megatron" Johnson. Johnson is currently the league's deadliest red zone weapon, and his nickname is pretty intimidating too.

Stafford will be looking Johnson's way all game long, which means trouble for Dallas and happiness for Stafford's fantasy owners.
