The Atlanta Falcons will start quarterback Desmond Ridder against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12. Ridder will replace Taylor Heinicke, who has struggled in his last three games. Ridder has shown promise with a higher completion rate and yards per attempt this season. The Falcons believe that Ridder's mistakes are correctable and that he has a lot of learning to do. Ridder is expected to be a mid-range QB2 in fantasy football.
