Tonight’s big question concerns next year’s biggest bounceback player, or simply the one who takes the biggest stride forward. Who is it going to be?
There are a handful of logical candidates for this:
Ryan didn’t actually take a nosedive in 2017 in many areas outside of his actual counting stats, but a bounceback in those stats would certainly count as an improvement. Austin Hooper had a fine year but had a handful of bad drops and is in line for a bigger share of the target load in this offense, if the Falcons don’t draft his replacement.
