Week 8 Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Matt Ryan's Value

If you are struggling at the quarterback position, I have a guy for you that has been average at best so far this season. If it's not for sentimental reasons, it would be hard for an owner to be attached to him.

The quarterback I'm talking about is Matt Ryan.

Due to his so-so production this season, he should be relatively easy to trade for. He is also on a bye week.

Now would be a good time to get him for cheap and stash him on your roster through the bye.

There are a couple of reasons why now is the time to get Ryan for good value. 

Matchups, Matchups, Matchups

Ryan and the Falcons have got some good matchups coming up, starting in Week 9 against the Colts.

After the hapless Colts, Ryan and company get the Saints. This will be good for his fantasy value, since he will most likely be throwing to keep up with Drew Brees.

After these two weeks, there is nothing too scary to worry about having Ryan in your fantasy lineup.

Return of Julio Jones

After the Falcons' Week 8 bye, Julio Jones should be healthy and ready to return to the starting lineup.

When you stop and think about it, Ryan has got an elite receiving corps to move the ball. He's got one of the best wide receivers in Roddy White, and the greatest tight end of all time in Tony Gonzalez.

Add the talented rookie Jones into the mix, and that's a stout bunch of weapons that Ryan has at his disposal.

Get Matt Ryan now before his breakout day against the Colts in Week 9. It will be easier than ever to trade for him right now.
