The list of the most intriguing Atlanta Falcons this week features several players who will have critical roles if they hope to beat their rival Saints, including one player making his return to the starting lineup and one set to face his old team.
Desmond Ridder
It starts with quarterback Desmond Ridder, who is returning to the lineup after being benched for two games. The Falcons coaching staff is terming it a “reset” for Ridder.
He’s expected to start for the remainder of the season, but his status as the team’s top signal-caller beyond 2023 is in jeopardy.
