Fantasy Impact:
With JJ McCarthy injured Desmond Ridder adds depth to the Minnesota Vikings quarterback room and will battle undrafted free agent Max Brosmer to backup Carson Wentz. Ridder was selected in the 3rd round (74th overall) of the 2022 draft by the Atlanta Falcons. He spent training camp with the Cincinnati Bengals but was waived ahead of the final roster cuts. He has also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders. During his NFL career, he has thrown 588 times, with a completion rate of 63.6% (374 completions) for 4,002 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has 293 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. He largely remains irrelevant for fantasy football purposes.
