A quick look at this season's stats for Falcons' quarterback Matt Ryan and Bears QB Jay Cutler:

Cutler 8th (1,295)
Passing TD's-
Ryan: 6th-tie (11)
Cutler: 2nd-tie (12)
Comp %
Ryan: 13th (66%)
Cutler: 6th (68.1%)
Rating-
Ryan: 11th (96.4)
Cutler: 13th (94.9)

On paper, each quarterback looks almost interchangeable. Most of their major statistical categories are dead even, each has thrown 6 interceptions, but Ryan has been sacked half the amount of times that Cutler has (6 for Ryan and 12 for Cutler).
We don't like to create a QB vs QB scenario for football games, but strictly from a fantasy/stats perspective, who do you think will end up having the better game? They've each got dangerous weapons to throw to, and a running game that could be a nice compliment, so in theory each of the two quarterbacks facing off in Atlanta could have a great day.
If you're in a situation where you have to start one quarterback over the other, who do you go with on Sunday?
