The last time the Atlanta Falcons went up against the Carolina Panthers, wide receiver Calvin Ridley finished with eight catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in a rare Week 11 victory.

In Week 14, these two NFC South teams meet again, this time from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Julio Jones and Austin Hooper are back practicing after both players sat out of the team’s Thanksgiving night loss to the Saints.

Let’s examine the Falcons’ Week 14 fantasy football projections, focusing on ESPN’s standard league scoring system.

QB: Matt Ryan

ESPN Projection: 19.1 points — 2 pass TDs, 290 pass yards, 1 INT, 10 rush yards

Season Total: 196.4 points — 20 TDs, 3,246 pass yards, 12 INTs, 1 rush TD, 106 rush yards

Week 14 Analysis: Ryan had a bad game on Thanksgiving, but he was without his top receiver and tight end. With Julio Jones and Austin Hooper both potentially returning in Week 14, though, expect Ryan to have another nice game against the Panthers on Sunday. The Falcons QB passed for 310 yards and a TD in the team’s Week 11 win. Plus, Carolina just fired head coach Ron Rivera two days ago. Expect a bounce-back performance from Ryan, who’s the No. 8 QB this week according to ESPN.
