8 NFL FanDuel Studs to Target in Week 17

Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons

FanDuel Price: $8,700
Projected Points: 22.8

Matt Ryan has thrown at least one touchdown pass in every game this season, with multiple touchdown passes in 11 games, including his first matchup against the New Orleans Saints back in Week 3.

The Atlanta Falcons are 4.5 points clear of any other team in terms of implied total for Week 17. They are favored by 6.5 points at home, which provides a great game script for Ryan, who is averaging 22.26 fantasy points per game at home this season. In 17 career games since 2011 with a spread greater than 50 and the Falcons favored, Ryan has averaged 25.23 fantasy points per game according to Rotoviz's Game Splits App.

Ryan will benefit from playing against the Saints, who have already given up over 300 yards passing in seven separate games this season. They have only intercepted seven passes all season, which is equal to the amount of interceptions Ryan himself has thrown.

With the game script and soft matchup in his favor, Ryan is our top quarterback for the final week of the season.
