Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues

OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Oh boy, what a scare seeing Teddy B off to the sidelines a couple of weeks back, let alone having him potentially missing time to QB2 Drew Lock! But we need not to worry anymore, folks, as Bridgewater came back to his usual starting role this past Sunday and was this close to snatching his second QB1 finish of the season after putting up a classic Teddy Game against Pittsburgh.

Bridgewater, if you've been following the NFL this season, has been a blast to have rostered in most deep/2QB leagues. Excluding his half-played Week 4 game (in which he still somehow was able to pass for a touchdown on just 7 completions), Bridgewater has completed at least 63% of his attempted passes and 76%+ in the three first games of the season. Sunday's 19.6 FP effort marked the third such game of the year for Bridgewater, who also went on to reach 20.5 and 21.2 in the first couple of weeks of the season.

The average yardage sits at 279 passing yards per game. The touchdown counter is already at 7 against just one interception, and Teddy has still to fumble a ball. Not the highest of ceilings when it comes to rushing the ball, sure, but more than a viable starter for those in deeper leagues, let alone 2QB-formats in which he's a weekly lock to start. Even with an "incomplete-score" Week 4, Teddy is currently the QB23 in total FP and he's averaging 16 FPPG with a low deviation of just 5.7 FPPG (eight-lowest among QBs putting up 16+ FPPG).
