Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Journal-Constitution staffer Steve Wyche suggested, Ryan’s start could be an indication that the rookie will start the regular-season opener against Detroit on Sept. 7. The third pre-season game typically is when teams set most of their starting lineups and rotations. The first-team units usually play together for at least a half. The third preseason game is also when teams typically start game planning as they will in the regular season.
