BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team / 2QB Leagues
OWNED IN: 5% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: I honestly cannot think of a player available in almost every league that I would rather pick up than Teddy Bridgewater. With the Minnesota Vikings on the verge of activating Bridgewater and Case Keenum currently starting for the uber talented Vikings, there is no reason Teddy could not be starting games as the fantasy season comes to an end, and the playoffs begin.
Bridgewater is a very talented QB and should thrive with the talent around him. Last time we saw him he saw steady production and took good care of the ball, throwing only 9 picks in 2015. I see no reason he should not be able to replicate the success we saw in interim starter Sam Bradford, (albeit with very limited sample size) and Backup Case Keenum (who has outplayed every other backup QB and it's not even close) Teddy should be able to thrive under the same game plan
It's true, you don't know what you're going to get from a player who hasn't played since 2015, and we know he won't save your fantasy season, but we think the risk is worth it. No matter your current QB situation, Bridgewater could, and should provide a solid play at the second QB spot in 2QB leagues, and could provide a bit of remedy for Rodgers and Watson owners heading into the playoffs. Jump on Teddy fast, because he'll go, especially in 2QB leagues
