The Atlanta Falcons are planning to go back to Desmond Ridder as their starting quarterback when they come off their bye in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints. Ridder sat for the last two games in favor of Taylor Heinicke, but the Falcons used the bye week to reassess their quarterback situation. In his eight starts this season, Ridder completed 65.4% of his passes for 1,701 yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions.
