2 years agoAtlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder completed 10 of 13 passes for 143 yards in Monday night's 24-16 loss against the Jets. After throwing the game-winning touchdown in the first preseason game, Ridder was sharp and accurate against the Jets. While he had 59 rushing yards on six rushing attempts in the first preseason game, Ridder didn't have a rushing attempt in the second preseason game. Marcus Mariota will start the regular season opener against the New Orleans Saints, but it seems like only a matter of time until the Falcons hand over the starting job to Ridder. However, Ridder isn't draftable in single-QB redraft leagues and is a late-round target in superflex or two-quarterback leagues.--Mike Fanelli
