Colts Name Matt Ryan The Starter
2 years agoIndianapolis Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday confirmed on Wednesday that quarterback Matt Ryan is the team's starter. The Colts made the surprise move to bench Sam Ehlinger for Ryan right before the Week 10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. It's not a surprise that the Colts will stick with the veteran signal-caller moving forward. The 37-year-old went 21-for-28 for 222 yards and a touchdown and added 38 rushing yards and another touchdown in the win over the Raiders. Ryan gives the Colts a much better chance to win in the short term and he elevates all of the team's offensive skill players in real life and in fantasy. He'll face a tough test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles defense, though, and he should be considered a low-end QB2.
