Teddy Bridgewater Fantasy

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater draws a tough matchup in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' improved defense. Tampa Bay's pass rush made Hall of Famer Drew Brees look very ordinary in Week 1 and could do the same to Bridgewater, especially considering his offensive line isn't as good as Brees'. The 27-year-old threw for 270 yards and a score against Oakland, though their defense isn't as talented as the Buccaneers'. The best case scenario for Bridgewater this week is that Tampa Bay jumps out to a big lead, forcing him to throw the ball to keep up. Still, the matchup isn't enticing enough to look at him as anything more than a QB2.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater recorded 270 passing yards, one passing touchdown, zero picks, and was 22-for-34 overall in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He also added four rushes for 26 yards. It was a modest Panthers debut for the QB. Bridgewater is certainly not the most explosive QB, so it's most important to monitor his consistency before considering him for fantasy. He faces a tough matchup next week against the division-rival Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be making his debut this week with the team. Bridgewater last played in 2019 with the New Orleans Saints in a total of nine games and started in five. Now in a new system, it's best to wait and see how the QB performs with a new set of weapons before starting him in fantasy in single-QB leagues. This is also considering that running backChristian McCaffrey is the focal point of the offense. Keep Bridgewater on the bench for this week's matchup against the Raiders.
