Teddy Bridgewater Fantasy Outlook After Sam Bradford Placed on IR After Surgery

Related Topics: Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Bradford

The quarterback carousel for the Minnesota Vikings took another turn on Wednesday, with the team announcing two major roster moves: Sam Bradford was placed on injured reserve due to his ongoing knee issues, while Teddy Bridgewater was activated to the 53-man roster following his recovery from a devastating knee injury before the 2016 season.

That leaves a fairly obvious question on the table: Does Bridgewater have any fantasy value in 2017?

In the short term, the answer may be no. Head coach Mike Zimmer confirmed to reporters that Case Keenum would start Sunday against Washington, and that Bradford—who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee Tuesday, per ESPN's Chris Mortensen—could potentially return for the postseason should Minnesota earn a berth, per Tom Pelissero of NFL.
