Teddy Bridgewater

This is going to be an open competition here in Denver, but I do expect Bridgewater to walk out as the starter in Week 1. While Bridgewater didn't do exactly incredible things last season in Carolina, he fits what this coaching staff will want from its QB. He'll take care of the football, distribute it to their playmakers quickly, and keep the offense on pace. While Bridgewater has a lot of dynamic weapons at his disposal, it's unlikely that we see him enter into the weekly starter consideration this season. He'll have his streaming moments based on plus matchups, but that's likely his ceiling heading into 2021.

Teddy Bridgewater traded to Broncos for sixth-round pick

Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater has been traded to the Denver Broncos for a sixth-round pick.

Fantasy Impact

It only cost the Broncos a sixth-round pick to bring in a veteran quarterback in Bridgewater to possibly compete with Drew Lock for the starting job. The Broncos also have options with the Number 9 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. While it’s certainly possible they still select a quarterback, they at least now have a veteran to compete with and/or provide guidance and leadership to a younger, less experienced Lock.
