Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has shown some promise in his first season, but he's also had the speed bumps you'd expect from a rookie. Through six games, Bridgewater is completing 60.4 percent of his passes for 1,321 yards, three touchdowns and five interceptions.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Teddy Bridgewater
Bridgewater has been struggling in his rookie season, but the Bears defense offers an appealing fantasy matchup.

The good news is that the turnovers have been held to just a two-game stretch where Bridgewater threw all five of his picks. He has mostly settled in as a game manager type, with his accuracy on deep balls severely lacking at this point. Bridgewater’s 6.7 yards per attempt rank just 28th out of 32 qualified quarterbacks.
Fantasy impact: Despite his struggles and low fantasy upside, Bridgewater gets a good matchup with the Chicago Bears defense, which is allowing 268.6 passing yards per game and gave up more than 50 points in two straight weeks. The Vikings are unlikely to make it three in a row, but with Kyle Rudolph back as a security blanket, Bridgewater is a decent QB2 play in two-quarterback leagues this week.
