Just in time for Atlanta Falcons training camp starting on July 19, QB Desmond Ridder signed his four-year rookie contract worth $5.36 million.
Fantasy Impact: Previous offseason word coming out of Atlanta has said various things regarding the status of QBs Ridder and Marcus Mariota, but the consistency is often that Ridder will at least give Mariota a run for the QB1 position. The Falcons brought in Mariota to seemingly be the team’s starter before drafting Ridder in the third round. Neither quarterback requires high investment in fantasy with Mariota going at QB31 and Ridder going at QB39, according to FantasyPros average draft position. The Cincinnati product was seen as a fairly pro-ready option in the draft who could start sooner rather than later, depending on his situation. Ridder is worth an investment in superflex and dynasty leagues with the potential to see action in the latter half of the season.
