It's good for the Falcons to see what they have in Desmond Ridder as he'll be starting in Week 15. But ellenport is wondering if it will be good for fantasy managers? 🤔
entered his bye week ranked 12th in fantasy points scored among quarterbacks, but that wasn’t good enough to keep the starting job in Atlanta. At 5-8, the Falcons are still one game out of first place in the putrid NFC South, but head coach Arthur Smith announced last week that Ridder will take over when Atlanta meets the Saints in New Orleans this week.Ridder, a third-round pick in the 2022 draft, passed for 3,334 yards and 30 touchdowns last season at the University of Cincinnati.
Not that Atlanta has many weapons in the passing game. Tight end Kyle Pitts only played 10 games in 2022 before being lost for the season, and he’s still third on the team in receptions. The team’s top receiver is rookie London could be the big winner in the move to start Ridder. The eighth overall pick in this year’s draft, London had a season-high 95 yards in Week 13 against the Steelers.
London is rostered in 77% of Sleeper.com fantasy leagues, but he’s only in the starting lineup in 32% of leagues. Whether or not Ridder makes a big fantasy impact this week, he could make London a worthy start.
