Who Should I Start? Case Keenum or Desmond Ridder

Sunday, July 20, 8:13 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Case Keenum (undisclosed) was activated off of the active/Non-Football Injury list. The veteran landed on the list on Saturday. However, he's now able to be on the field for training camp. Keenum played for seven different teams before signing with the Bears in April. He's appeared in 80 regular-season contests, throwing for 15,175 yards, 79 touchdowns, and 51 picks off of 62.3% passing. Keenum missed the entire 2024 campaign because of a foot injury. While it appears the signal-caller is finally healthy, he won't have any value for fantasy managers, considering he is projected to be the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent.

Former Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Desmond Ridder is signing an undisclosed deal with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, per the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Ridder will bring some experience to the Bengals' QB room behind starter Joe Burrow. The 25-year-old Ridder will join backups Jake Browning and Logan Woodside. He was originally a third-rounder by Atlanta in 2022 out of Cincinnati. Ridder made 17 starts in Atlanta in his first two years in the NFL before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2024. He then appeared in six games with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 before joining the Bengals this summer. In three NFL seasons, Ridder has completed 63.6% of his pass attempts for 4,002 yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 25 games (18 starts). He will not be a lock to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.
