Matt Ryan
QB -
2024 Outlook
According to Zach Klein of WSB-Ch.2 Atlanta, the Indianapolis Colts are expected to release QB Matt Ryan. The move will clear $17 million in cap space.
Fantasy Impact
Ryan was traded to Indy to take over for QB Carson Wentz, but the pairing was not successful. Ryan had 15 fumbles and 13 interceptions in 12 games and was benched down the stretch. The Colts clear up cap space and move on to their next phase at QB, and Ryan is free to potentially join his third team in three years.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Matt Ryan has slipped to third-string duties for the Colts and will be inactive for Monday night. Sam Ehlinger will back up newly minted starter Nick Foles against the Chargers.
Matt Ryan completed 19 of 33 pass attempts for 182 passing yards and one touchdown in the Colts' 39-36 Week 15 loss to the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Ryan underwhelmed once again Saturday for the Colts, averaging just 9.6 yards per completion for the team. The veteran signal caller's best days are clearly behind him and will be difficult to trust ahead of an unfavorable Week 16 matchup against the Chargers solid pass defense.
Matt Ryan will remain the Colts' starting quarterback for Week 15.
Fantasy Impact
Colts head coach Jeff Saturday made the announcement Monday morning that he will stick with Ryan as his starting QB. The Colts will come out of their bye week and travel to Minnesota to battle the Vikings on Saturday afternoon. Ryan took three sacks and committed four turnovers back in Week 13 against the Cowboys.
Matt Ryan completed 21-of-37 pass attempts for 233 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions as the Colts were routed by the Cowboys 54-19 on Sunday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact
Ryan also absorbed three sacks in the blowout loss on Sunday. The aging QB was once again outmatched by a fierce Dallas' defense that was relentless on closing in on the pocket. Ryan is averaging just 216 passing yards over his past four games and has a 4:4 TD:INT ratio over that timeframe. He will not be a fantasy option for Week 15 against the Vikings following Indianapolis' much needed bye week.
