Obviously a lot has changed since their original meeting in Week 4, but here is what it looked like:

Ryan- 369 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT
Newton- 301 total yds, 3 TDs, 0 INT
This is real close. Falcons are 7th against fantasy QBs and Car is 11th. There's a 50/50 split among "experts":

I would actually go Newton. He's at home and Car has nothing to lose. As already stated, he's the hotter QB. Atl has a bad run D, which should mean Cam rushes well this week. Also, Atl is 10-1, people have been giving them their best shot. Perhaps that's evidencee by Ryan throwing 7 INTs the past 6 games. Only one of those 6 games did he not throw a pick. Atl is probably tired, playing ver physical games. They may overlook Car. I think this is a trap game for Atl.
