Taylor Heinicke solid in relief in Week 8 loss

Taylor Heinicke completed 12-of-21 pass attempts for 175 yards and one touchdown in the Falcons’ 28-23 loss to the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: Heinicke took over the reigns at quarterback after halftime as Desmond Ridder was evaluated for a concussion. Despite Ridder being cleared to return, Heinicke played the remainder of the game and found success. Head coach Arthur Smith stated that Ridder was not pulled due to performance reasons, so it is likely that Heinicke returns to the backup role in Week 9.
