Teddy Bridgewater Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater took over for Drew Brees, who prematurely exited after injuring his thumb, during the loss to the Rams and finished with 165 yards on 17-for-30 passing. With Brees heading for surgery and expected to be out for around six weeks, the 26-year-old will start for the foreseeable future. Despite his lack of playing time over the years, Bridgewater will have an abundance of options at his disposal while serving as the primary signal-caller, making him an efficient option for those who are forced to weather the storm of Brees absence in the weeks ahead.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater played a strong first half in Friday's preseason loss to the Vikings, going 14-for-19 passing for 134 yards. He threw a touchdown to tight end Dan Arnold. Bridgewater remains the top backup in New Orleans, though he'll see the field less this year than third-string quarterback Taysom Hill, who the Saints use in a variety of ways. Bridgewater's the better pure passer, and if anything happens to Drew Brees, he'll be the first one up. But as long as Brees is active, Bridgewater's not rosterable in re-draft.

The New Orleans Saints are re-signing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to a one-year deal worth $7.25 million fully guaranteed on Thursday, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal has a maximum value of $12.5 million. Bridgewater visited with the Dolphins on Wednesday night but left without a contract, leaving the door open for him to return as Drew Brees' backup. Bridgewater started the regular season finale in 2018 and won't have any fantasy value again in 2019 unless Brees is injured.
