Who to watch
Matt Ryan
Ryan has to make this list again, and it’s due to the costly errors he has been making. He threw two costly picks against the Vikings last week, one of which was in the end zone. If Ryan plays a clean game without a turnovers, the Falcons will have a great shot at winning.
Tamme had a big day against the Bucs last time around, hauling in 10 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. He could be leaned on again by Ryan to move the chains against a tough defense.
Hester looks set to return to action after being placed on short-term injured reserve. We will never forget the moment Hester broke out a historic punt return touchdown against the Bucs last year. The Falcons could do with that kind of spark again. Maybe Hester takes one to the house.
