The Falcons intend for Taylor Heinicke to start over Desmond Ridder versus the Colts on Sunday. Heinicke is usurping Ridder on the depth chart for the second time this season, a change that could well last the remainder of the 2023 campaign. Heinicke has been serviceable if unimpressive in limited action this season, having completed 41 of 74 pass attempts for 498 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception across three appearances.
