Teddy Bridgewater Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old hasn't been a fantasy star by any means but has posted at least 16 fantasy points in three starts this year. He'll face a Cardinals Defense that ranks 25th in the NFL against the pass. The last time Bridgewater got a matchup this good, he went off for 27 fantasy points and four touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Don't expect a repeat performance, especially considering that Drew Brees (thumb) may return to the lineup this week. If Bridgewater is under center, he'll be a low-end streaming option in Week 8.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 36-25 victory over the Chicago Bears. On the one hand, Bridgewater completed just 60.5 percent of his passes, his second-lowest mark of the season. Fortunately, the 26-year-old averaged his second-highest yards per attempt mark of the season, 7.4, and was aggressive looking downfield. The day could have been even better for the sixth-year veteran had wide receiver Ted Ginn hauled in a deep pass in the end zone. Still, it was a good sign that Bridgewater had some success against a tough defense, though he may not have fantasy value moving forward. Starter Drew Brees (thumb) has an outside chance to play in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is in for a rough Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. Except for his four touchdown passes against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5, Bridgewater has been an average fantasy quarterback. Through six weeks, Bridgewater has averaged just 217.8 yards per game with 6.9 yards per attempt and seven touchdowns. He'll take on a Bears Defense that ranks fifth in points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Bridgewater is a low-end QB2 for this contest and won't have fantasy value for long with starter Drew Brees' return coming soon.
