Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ryan has been an NFL defensive coordinator with the Raiders, Browns and Cowboys since 2004. Dallas coach Jason Garrett said Ryan was fired because of a lack of turnovers by his unit. The Cowboys had just 16 turnovers to tie for the fourth-fewest in the NFL. The Rams have a promising defense with one of the best cornerback pairings in the league - Cortland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins. They also led the league with 52 sacks.
