Teddy Bridgewater Fantasy

Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater took it to his former team, the Carolina Panthers, in preseason action Friday night, leading four scoring drives for Detroit (2-1) in their 26-17 win. He completed 13-of-22 attempts for 178 yards, including a 70-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass to rookie Antoine Green in the closing seconds of the first half. In a captivating game, Teddy Bridgewater showcased his precision and decision-making, connecting on key passes that drove his team down the field. Bridgewater's reliability makes him a solid handcuff for Jared Goff owners in all fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed five of his 11 passing attempts for 34 yards in the team's preseason loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran signed with Detroit on Aug 10 and will presumably be locked into the QB2 role behind Jared Goff. Detroit selected Hendon Hooker in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he has yet to come back from a torn ACL suffered in late October of 2022. That said, Bridgewater is an attractive deep superflex and two-QB roster stash. If Goff gets banged up, he would be a must-start in those deep formats where quarterbacks are scarce.

The Detroit Lions are signing free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to an undisclosed deal on Monday after a recent visit with the team, according to sources. Rookie Hendon Hooker (knee) is set for a medical redshirt year with the Lions, and Bridgewater will give the team more backup depth behind starter Jared Goff entering the 2023 regular season. He'll compete with Nate Sudfeld for the backup job for the rest of training camp and the preseason. The 30-year-old former first-rounder played in five games (two starts) for the Miami Dolphins in 2022 and threw for 683 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions on 79 passing attempts. Teddy B would merely become a desperation second QB in superflex leagues if Goff gets injured this year and he's forced into a starting role for Detroit.
