2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-04-2012 by George Bissell

Matt Ryan has the potential to develop into one of the elite quarterbacks in fantasy football, but has yet to elevate his game to that level in four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. Ryan established new career highs across the board, including reaching the 4,000 yard plateau for the first time in his career last season. Ryan has a plethora of weapons at his disposal with veterans like Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez, along with breakout candidate Julio Jones in the fold; which makes him a solid fantasy option with legitimate upside this season.

MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	6.12	FFToolbox.com
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	7.06	FantasySharks.com - This is one of those "in this format" selections. With Tom Brady rostered it may raise a few eyebrows that I pick Matt Ryan here but this isn't my first 20 round best ball draft and I've decided that I like me some quarterbacks in 2012. I really like Matt Ryan this year. His weapons are vast and he has spent the off season getting stronger and quicker. His coaches say he is throwing the ball harder and farther than he ever has. He has improved every year, cracking the top 10 at the position last year and has all the opportunity to improve once again in 2012. Witten was a consideration here as well but Ryan for me is one of those special players that stands head and shoulders above the rest at this spot.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	6.06	2MugsFF.com - Grab my QB before the run starts. Love the upside of this offense this year.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	6.12	TheHuddle.com - Big fan of the Dirty Birds offense this year, and I know QBs will be picked clean so I'd better get one at this turn.
