What does Matt Ryan have to do before he's owned in over 90 percent of fantasy leagues like the other elite quarterbacks in the NFL?
His ownership actually fell three percent in ESPN league after passing for over 500 yards on Sunday against the Panthers.
Owners overreacted majorly to a down season (by Ryan's standards) judging by his average draft position and it appears to have lingered into the season despite early results.
Ryan is currently on pace to pass for a NFL-record 5,892 yards and 44 touchdowns. Both are obviously career-highs, but we're talking about a QB who is working on his fifth straight season with at least 4,515 passing yards.
His 11 TDs in four games are more than half his 21 from a year ago.
His next two weeks (at Denver and Seattle) will certainly be a test, but the presence of All-World Julio Jones gives Ryan a chance to travel well. After the two tough match-ups, the Falcons schedule is mild.
Each week I'll list the best widely available free agents for fantasy football _ I define "widely available" as being owned in around half of all ESPN or Yahoo leagues _ and some guys who are probably better off in the free agent pool than collecting dust on your roster.
Here's my best bets for Week 5:
