Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Players

Quarterback - Matt Ryan - (Position Rank - 10)
(Passing) 3,500 Yards, 20 TD, 12 IT, 20 Sacks
(Rushing) 100 Yards, 1 TD, 2 Fumbles
Had a great rookie year and should improve on his numbers in 2009. Just not as much as many seem to think.

Running Back - Michael Turner - (Position Rank - 10)
(Rushing) 1,450 Yards, 14 TD, 2 Fumbles
(Receiving) 6 Catches, 40 Yards, 0 TD
Defenses will prepare better for him now and he wont be playing against a defense like the Lions had in 2008. Should come down to earth just a touch. Virtual non-existence in passing game hurts his ranking.

Running Back - Jerious Norwood - (Position Rank - 54)
(Rushing) 500 Yards, 4 TD, 0 Fumbles
(Receiving) 30 Catches, 3000 Yards, 2 TD
So long as Turner stays healthy, Norwood wont be used much. Turner is a bit too much of an upright runner to me and that makes him more susceptible to getting injured. If that happens, Norwood becomes gold.

Wide Receiver - Roddy White - (Position Rank - 7)
(Receiving) 85 Catches, 1,280 Yards, 7 TD, 1 Fumble
So long as Turner stays dominant, White will find his opportunities.

Wide Receiver - Michael Jenkins - (Position Rank - 56)
(Receiving) 55 Catches, 750 Yards, 4 TD, 0 Fumbles

Tight End - Tony Gonzalez - (Position Rank - 3)
(Receiving) 80 Catches, 940 Yards, 7 TD, 0 Fumbles
Nobody truly knows how well Gonzalez will play or be used this season on a new team. It does seem hard to fathom that Atlanta would not be throwing the ball to one of the best receiving TE's of all time.
