6. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons settled in at 8-8, and quarterback Matt Ryan failed to pass for more than 21 touchdowns during a disappointing 2015 campaign. Though, the potential this trio possesses earns them a spot on this list.
Ryan notably ranked fifth among his position with 4,591 passing yards. And Julio Jones did what he does best and that was record league-highs with 136 catches and 1,871 yards. Running back Devonta Freeman also caused a scene in his second career season and finished with a grand total of 1,634 yards and 14 touchdowns in 15 games.
Another productive year for Freeman is quite possible, and he could top upwards of 1,800-1,900 combined yards if he stays healthy. And unless somebody barricades Jones in his locker, he will naturally be poised for chart-topping numbers after seeing an average of 12.7 targets per contest last year.
Keeping Ryan upright so he can attempt even more passes and improve the Falcons’ chances of scoring through the air is of the utmost importance for the team to succeed as a unit.
