Fantasy Impact:
Bridgewater, who is recovering from a severe knee injury suffered in the 2016 preseason, is entering his contract year in 2017. The Vikings told their former starter that they will decline his fifth-year option as they cannot "injury-guarantee" him, per USA Today's Tom Pelissero. Expect the 24-year-old signal caller to open the upcoming season on the PUP list as a result of his injury and uncertain recovery timeline.
