Teddy Bridgewater

The Lions agreed to terms with QB Teddy Bridgewater.

Fantasy Impact

Bridgewater spent last season backing up Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay. He'll compete for the backup job in Detroit this offseason.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Teddy Bridgewater will get most of the first-team practice snaps this week.

Fantasy Impact

Bridgewater will prepare to start with Baker Mayfield battling a shoulder injury. Mayfield figures to do everything he can to not miss any time, but it seems likely he'll miss at least one game. This remains a situation to monitor the rest of the week.

Teddy Bridgewater completed 8-of-15 passing attempts for 62 yards in Sunday night's 34-7 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Bridgewater had to unexpectedly slot in on Sunday night after Baker Mayfield left the game with a shoulder injury. The veteran wasn't able to get much going when he took the field, but he limited his mistakes and looked okay overall. He will continue to be the starter if Mayfield misses time, which would be bad news for Emeka Egbuka, Bucky Irving, and all of Tampa Bay's fantasy-relevant players.

Teddy Bridgewater won the backup quarterback job for the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Bridgewater will enter the season backing up Baker Mayfield. He came out of retirement to sign with Tampa on August 5.

Veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is expected to make his Tampa Bay Buccaneers preseason debut on Saturday, Aug. 16.

Fantasy Impact

Bridgewater most recently played for the Detroit Lions, where he played as Jared Goff's backup, but he stepped away from the pros to become a high school football coach. After being suspended for "providing impermissible benefits" to his students in need, he is pivoting back to the NFL before his expected return to the coaching ranks.
