Desmond Ridder, Taylor Heinicke: no starting QB named

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that the team has not yet named its Week 16 starter at QB, whether that be Desmond Ridder or Taylor Heinicke. (Michael Rothstein on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Ridder has already been benched once this season for Heinicke, back in Weeks 9 and 10 before taking back over the starting job. Ridder has been up and down in his sophomore season in Year 1 as a starter, showing some promising moments (three 300+ yard games) and some dim moments (three multi-INT games). Heinicke looked solid in relief in Week 8 but wasn't outstanding as the starter. While this could be a toss-up, Smith did add that Atlanta wouldn't bring in a third QB or consider starting third-stringer Logan Woodside.
