Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~156 Overall

CURRENT ADP: ~178

ANALYSIS: Teddy Bridgewater didn't generate much noise in 2019 as he wasn't the starter of his team (New Orleans) only getting his starts when Drew Brees got injured. Bridgewater appeared in nine games last season and started five of them. Although he wasn't the flashier of players at the position, Teddy B went on to win all of his starts, completed 67.9% of his pass attempts (133 of 196), and threw for 1,384 yards (7.1 yards per attempt) to go with nine TD against just two INT.

As many as 35 quarterbacks started five or more games last season. Bridgewater ranked 6th in completion rate, had the third-lowest interception rate (only behind Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson) and was 12th in Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt. All of that, simply put, allowed him to reach 90.5 PPR points on the season for an average of 10.1 PPG. That last number is skewed, though, because of his last three games of the season, in which he played a non-factor role. Looking only at his five starts (from Week 2 through Week 6), Bridgewater averaged a much healthier 19.1 PPG that translated to 241 Yds/G and 1.8 TD/G.

Bridgewater is the clear go-to quarterback in Carolina entering 2020, barely has a backup (which means he will stay as the QB1 all season long no matter what), will have a great trio of receivers playing for him (DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Robby Anderson; instead of just Michael Thomas), and most of all, he will always have the option to check down to Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield and let him rack up yards that would ultimately benefit the quarterback. It's a win-win situation for Bridgewater and his ultimate redemption after all he has gone through during his career.
