Desmond Ridder News
Desmond Ridder traded to Arizona · Mar 15, 2024
The Falcons have traded Desmond Ridder to the Cardinals in exchange for Rondale Moore.
Moore had shown little in Arizona and desperately needed a change of scenery. Ridder was also expendable after the signing of Kirk Cousins, so this one makes sense. Unfortunately for Ridder, he's going to be a backup again as it would take a Kyler Murray injury for him to see the field. While he still has some promise and youth is on his side, Ridder isn't worth a roster spot in dynasty leagues at the moment.
Desmond Ridder benched again · Dec 20, 2023
Desmond Ridder has been benched in favor of Taylor Heinicke once again.
Ridder's time in the sun is over yet again and there's little reason to expect either quarterback has a future in Atlanta. The Falcons are certain to address their quarterback situation via the draft or free agency, ending the would-be carrousel in 2024. Ridder, still listed as DLF's QB32, could remain in Atlanta as a backup for the remainder of his contract but he'll all but fall from the dynasty radar in short order.
Desmond Ridder will start · Nov 20, 2023
Falcons head coach Arthur Smith confirmed Desmond Ridder will be back under center in week 12.
Ridder gets one more chance to show he can be the answer for the Falcons, though the chances of success ahead of a deep 2024 quarterback class remains slim. Ridder is listed as DLF's QB32 and has emergency bye-week appeal only.
Desmond Ridder benched · Nov 1, 2023
Desmond Ridder has been benched
Taylor Heinicke will start for the Falcons in week nine and presumably finish out the season after Ridder proved to be a turnover machine. Currently tied for for first place in the division, the team has everything to play for and will turn to the veteran. For all intents and purposes, the Desmond Ridder experiment has failed and the team will look to reboot in 2024. For players such as Drake London and Kyle Pitts, the quarterback change may pay dividends for the remainder of 2023 but if/when a new quarterback is under center in 2024, it may be another setback to the development of their careers and production. As for Desmond Ridder, DLF's QB33, he'll likely end up as just another backup-potential asset, losing most all of his dynasty value.
Desmond Ridder replaced · Oct 30, 2023
Despite passing a concussion evaluation in the third quarter of the team's week eight loss to the Titans, Desmond Ridder didn't return to the game
Head coach Arthur Smith cited injury concern and that he "didn't think Des was right" and "we didn't take him out for performance reasons." Ridder, a turnover machine in recent weeks, deserved to be benched long before this week's concussion and Smith's media statements ring hollow. Taylor Heinicke immediately sparked the team and looked like the more confident and capable player. Smith is now trapped between his words and what everyone else understands, the team has a better chance of improving its 4-4 record over the second-half of the season with Heinicke under-center. By all appearances and performance metrics, it stands to reason that the Falcons will be looking for an upgrade at the position in 2024, or sooner. Desmond Ridder is found as a fading QB30 on DLF's dynasty quarterback rankings.
Desmond Ridder facing adversity · Oct 1, 2023
Desmond Ridder completed just 19-of-31 passes for 191 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Falcons loss against Jacksonville in London.
He also lost a fumble. Ridder now has just 744 passing yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions through the first four games of the season. The Falcons are still somehow 2-2 so he doesn't seem to be in danger of losing his job. However, things need to change quickly in Atlanta for there to be any fantasy value outside of Bijan Robinson with this team. Ridder's ranking of QB27 seems about right as he still has upside but hasn't shown it quite yet.
