He has over 20 fantasy football points in his last two games, throwing over 40 passes in each game.Ryan is ranked as the 23rd-best quarterback in fantasy football but has 1,332 yards and ten touchdowns this season. The offense will get Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage back into the lineup in time to face a weak Miami Dolphins defense.Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 at the moment but could end up as a good starter for the remainder of the season.Also Read: What is Matt Ryan’s contract breakdown?#2 - Tua Tagovailoa, Miami DolphinsDolphin Nation@Dolphin_Nation“As far as Tua is concerned, he has not been set up for success to this point. … Some of it has been in Miami’s control and some of it has not.”- ESPN’s Louis Riddick3:03 AM · Oct 22, 20211265“As far as Tua is concerned, he has not been set up for success to this point. … Some of it has been in Miami’s control and some of it has not.”- ESPN’s Louis Riddick https://t.co/mP0X82hIyVTua Tagovailoa is starting in 51% of fantasy football leagues and could be available in more leagues with the trade rumors. Miami could end up trading for Deshaun Watson, which would see Tua on a new team.If he's traded to Washington or Houston, Tua will remain a good option in fantasy football. Tua is at least worth grabbing for a favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week.#3 - Sam Darnold, Carolina PanthersCarolina Panthers@PanthersSam Darnold to Ian Thomas for 41 yards!📺: FOX4:21 AM · Oct 17, 202148775Sam Darnold to Ian Thomas for 41 yards!📺: FOX https://t.co/3P3tgrdWs3Sam Darnold has cooled off from his hot start to the season with just five fantasy football points in Week 5 and 11 in Week 6. Darnold is a fantasy football sleeper in Week 7 against the New York Giants, who have given up the fifth-most points to quarterbacks this season.Again, Darnold is more of a short-term option that you may have to rotate in and out with another back-end QB1. He can at least help secure a win in Week 7 and Week 8.
