BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2QB Leagues / Stash in Deeper Leagues
Owned in 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Matt Cassel broke his foot in week three against the Saints. Enter the rookie, Teddy Bridgewater. In his twenty pass attempts in Week Three, Bridgewater threw for 150 yards, going 12-for-20 on the day. He also rushed for 27 yards on six attempts. Leaving New Orleans, Bridgewater had an 83.3 passer rating, which has got to be noted coming from a rookie in his first NFL game.
I think that Bridgewater could impress the league in Week Four, against a struggling Falcons' defense that has given up nearly three hundred passing yards per game on average, as well as just over twenty fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks on the year. There is definitely a risk in starting Bridgewater this week, but I have him as one of my quarterback sleepers and think he is likely worth the risk. Go snag this young man if you have the chance off the Week 4 waiver wire. He’s got a solid matchup this week coming up, and he looked somewhat impressive in Week Three coming in off the bench. He’s only a starting option for 2QB leagues right now, but he may be one to watch going forward. It should be fun and interesting to watch this talented QB get an opportunity to play over the next few weeks, and he may emerge as a solid fantasy contributor.
