Turner, Ryan to play vs Jets
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and running back Michael Turner will play against the New York Jets today.
Turner, who has battled a high-ankle sprain, has played in only one (partial) game in the past four weeks. In that game against the Bucs, Turner carried the ball 12 times for 33 yards.
Meanwhile, Ryan hasn't played since leaving after one series in week 12 against Tampa.
The Jets' pass defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks over the past three weeks. In fact, they have only given up a total of 321 passing yards and no passing touchdowns during that span.
Against the run, the Jets have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs over the past three weeks.
So, if you have Ryan, Turner or the other Falcons' running backs (Jason Snelling and/or Jerious Norwood) on your fantasy roster, I would sit all of them on your bench.
And with shutdown corner Darrelle Revis on Roddy White, I named him my WR Dud of the Week in our weekly fantasy football podcast.
