Fantasy Impact:

Ryan earned the NFL MVP award, plus, the Fed Ex Air Player of the Year honor Saturday night due to his tremendous statistical 2016 campaign. Playing in all 16 games, Ryan threw for 4,944 yards passing, 38 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Along with his jaw-dropping numbers, he led the Falcons to an 11-5 record in the regular season and a Super Bowl berth. Ryan's accolades are well-deserved for the nine-year veteran, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
