Fantasy Impact:

Ridder, the 74th overall pick in this year's draft, will be set to close out the season under center for Atlanta as they look towards the future. The rookie will supplant Marcus Mariota who somewhat surprisingly held the Falcons in playoff contention through 13 weeks. Ridder could be a deeper-league fantasy option given his dual-threat ability and he is a more than reasonable hold in dynasty leagues everywhere.
