Who Should I Start? Matt Ryan or Tyrod Taylor

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.

The New York Jets said quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin), who departed Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, is questionable to return to action. Undrafted rookie Brady Cook is the team's backup quarterback and could be looking at extended action if Taylor is unable to return. Taylor, who supplanted Justin Fields as the Jets' starter, has brought some value to Superflex formats with a pair of top-10 finishes on the year, but with Fields (knee) inactive today, the Jets' entire offense could see its ceiling lowered if an inexperienced quarterback is at the helm.
