Taylor Heinicke back to the bench
Sources: The #Falcons will start QB Desmond Ridder going forward, beginning with their next game against the #Saints, handing the ball back to their original starter. (Ian Rapoport on X)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Taylor Heinicke got the start the past two games but was predictably average completing 54% of his passes while throwing 2 TDs and 1 INT in Arthur Smith’ run-first offense. This change doesn’t move the need for Drake London or the TE combo of Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith. Their value remains the same.
