Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) set to start in Week 5 versus Pittsburgh
Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will start in Week 5 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What It Means:
Broncos fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Bridgewater's return spares them from watching another Drew Lock start. Bridgewater has already added more Passing Net Expected Points (37.05) to the Broncos' expected points total in 3.5 weeks of 2021 than Lock "added" (-14.88) in the entirety of 2020.
Bridgewater himself is not a particularly appealing fantasy option this week even against an underperforming Steelers defense, but his presence is a boon to the rest of the Broncos' offense. FanDuel has set his salary $6,600 while our models project him for 15.6 fantasy points.
