Smith Doesn't Rule Out Desmond Ridder Start Moving Ahead
2 years agoAtlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder could find himself under center moving ahead. "There's a lot that we need to make sure we get in there and evaluate fairly objectively," said head coach Arthur Smith, speaking after the team's Week 13 loss to Pittsburgh. "Everything's on the table." The Falcons are sitting just one game out of first place in the NFC South. As a result, it may not be the right time to replace Marcus Mariota with the inexperienced Ridder. The rookie hasn't seen a regular-season snap as a professional, so it's unknown how much fantasy managers will benefit by adding him to the roster. That said, Atlanta has a bye in Week 14, so there may not be an update anytime soon.
