What the heck Teddy? Bridgewater was looking amazing in the preseason (I know, I know) and seemed poised to take steps forward with a growing Charles Johnson, the return of Adrian Peterson, and the acquisition of Mike Wallace. This has not happened.
His overall numbers are being somewhat salvaged by a solid Week 2 effort against Detroit (who everyone seems to be passing effectively against). Week 3 was disgusting, finishing with 13 completions on 24 attempts for a paltry 121 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Minnesota still won convincingly 31-14 on the backs of Adrian Peterson and a strong defensive effort, but the concern is there for Teddy.
His next opponent? Oh you know, just the Denver Broncos and their #1 defensive unit... in Denver. I'm worried, and I don't see how that matchup is going to help Teddy's stock at all heading into the Vikings' Week 5 bye. Hopefully if you were banking on him in a 2 QB league or as a backup, you were able to scoop some of the other hot starters instead.
Hopefully Minnesota adjusts, maybe Teddy is just trying to do too much, but a matchup in Denver with Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. does not seem like the place where answers will be found.
