Who Should I Start? Matt Ryan or Davis Mills

Monday, April 22, 2:31 PM

Quarterback Matt Ryan officially announced his retirement from professional football on Monday as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, the team that drafted him third overall in 2008 out of Boston College. Ryan spent 14 of his 15 NFL seasons in Atlanta, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2008 and an MVP award in 2016. In his lone trip to the Super Bowl in the same season he won his MVP award, the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead at halftime to lose to the New England Patriots. He made just 12 starts for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022 and threw for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The 38-year-old four-time Pro Bowler ends his career as Atlanta's all-time leader in passing yards (59,735) and passing touchdowns (367). Ryan ranks seventh all-time in passing yards (62,792) and ninth in TD passes (381) as a future Hall of Famer.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills came on in relief of C.J. Stroud, who left with a concussion, and completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 9's loss to the Denver Broncos. Mills has only played in one other game this season, which came back in Houston's Week 5 blowout win against the Ravens, where he completed two of four pass attempts for 23 yards. Stroud's status will be updated throughout the week, but it's possible he misses a week after suffering a nasty blow to the head. Mills played decently against a strong Denver defense and has experience as a starter in the NFL. The 27-year-old last started a game in 2022, where he was the Texans' starter for 15 games. He completed 61% of his passes for 3.118 yards with 17 touchdowns and a league-leading 15 interceptions. Mills could be the Week 10 starter for a big divisional game against the Jaguars, but is only relevant as a waiver add in superflex and 2QB formats.
