Matt Ryan is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for quarterbacks. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: We knew Michael Pittman Jr. was good. We didn't know he was the key to the entire Colts' passing offense. Without their top wideout, Matt Ryan looked lost. He barely completed 50% of his passes for 195 yards and threw three interceptions against the Jags. Oh, and they didn't score a single point.
So why keep any hope alive for Ryan? First, Pittman should be back next week as his quad injury wasn't deemed to be a long-term issue. Second, they return home to face the Chiefs next week.
The Colts will have no choice but to go full throttle with the passing game to keep pace. It looks like Indianapolis needs another playmaker at receiver so I'm lowering expectations on Ryan for the rest of the season but he is still streamable if needed.
