Who Should I Start? Matt Ryan or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put up a lackluster performance in Week 10, especially for his standards. It was the only game that he played start to finish and didn't end up in QB1 territory. In Week 11, he takes on the Cleveland Browns, who haven't been very easy for opposing quarterbacks. They're ranked as the fifth-toughest matchup for the position and give up an average of 13.83 fantasy points per game. Jackson was one of only two QBs that has already thrown for 200+ yards and three or more touchdowns against this defense, though. He finished as QB3 in that Week 2 showdown and is projected for the same finish this time around.
