</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The Falcons have Philadelphia in town on Sunday and a loss would drop them to two games back of the Eagles in the wild card chase. In Week 14 the Saints visit Atlanta with Ryan being a long shot to play in this one too. If Chris Redman can't pull out a victory in one of these games, the Falcons would fall to 6-7 and would have little reason to bring their franchise QB back.

Baker and Dahl both missed Week 13, and Atlanta's offense floundered. Ryan didn't practice Wednesday, only taking part in the pre-practice walkthrough in a limited manner. The Falcons smartly don't want to put an immobile Ryan under center if two of their top lineman are inactive. Ryan's plant foot is "painful" and "damaged." He'll be a game-time decision.

Matt Ryan - QB - Falcons Matt Ryan (toe) is "highly unlikely to start" on Sunday against the Saints.
Ryan will test the toe in pre-game warmups, but the odds are against him. The Falcons really need a win to keep any playoff hopes alive, and it looks like they will be in Chris Redman's hands again. Redman has zero pocket presence, and it could be a long day for Atlanta's offense. December 13

Even in a must win situation, Ryan and Turner aren't going to go. Chris Redman starts at quarterback while Jerious Norwood gets the nod at running back. However, Jason Snelling is the goal line back and therefore the better fantasy play.

Turner admitted that he's not quite 100 percent, and he's not out of the woods yet. Both players refused to give odds on their chances of playing in a game that remains a must-win for the Falcons to make the playoffs. We're still expecting the Atlanta duo to be game-time decisions.

Both players will be game-time decisions for Sunday's 1PM ET clash with the Jets. It would probably be smart to explore other options in both cases, whether or not Turner or Ryan is active. Turner goes against a Jets defense that ranks No. 11 against the run and held Bucs starting RB Cadillac Williams to 14 yards on 11 carries last week. Turner also wouldn't be at 100 percent.

Matt Ryan - QB - Falcons With the Falcons eliminated from playoff contention last night by the Cowboys, the Falcons may be more cautious with Matt Ryan (toe) and Michael Turner (ankle) on Sunday.
Coach Mike Smith said on Friday that Saturday night's outcome would have nothing to do with who plays and who doesn't, but one would have to think that it would be easier to let his two stars heal up completely. We'll soon be hearing what Smith and the Falcons plan on doing, as Atlanta takes on the Jets at 1 PM ET. December 20 - 9:41 a.m. ET
