After Matt Ryan was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a third-round pick, the Falcons signed free agent Marcus Mariota one month later. Unsure if Mariota was going to be their future starter, the Falcons drafted Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder with the pick the Colts traded to them.
Mariota ended up being the starter, recording a 5-8 record before suffering an injury. Ridder played the final four games, throwing 73 completions out of 115 attempts (63.5 percent) for 708 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Ridder doesn't have very high expectations going into his second season due to his lack of production (even though it was limited) and the crowded, but talented running back room. Because of this, and head coach Arthur Smith's run-heavy scheme, Ridder isn't likely to be drafted in most 1QB leagues. However, the extremely underrated talent around him could give him a boost and potentially get him off the waiver wire at some point in the season.

ATL sends Desmond Ridder to ARI for Rondale Moore
Atlanta gets another weapon for Kirk Cousins

|  | Breaking news from NFL Media: Cardinals are trading WR Rondale Moore to the Falcons for QB Desmond Ridder.
Arizona has its backup to Kyler Murray and says goodbye to a receiver who was likely going to be its fourth or fifth man on the WR depth chart. (Bob McManaman on X)
FFToday's Take: The Falcons are overhauling their offense and now have Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Moore as their top wide receivers to go along with TE Kyle Pitts. Moore doesn't carry a lot of fantasy juice given he's likely fourth at best in the offensive gameplan but could have some spiked weeks in the right situation.
