ANALYSIS: Over the past three weeks, Desmond Ridder has scored 13.8 (Week 7), 16.1 (Week 6), and 26.1 (Week 5) points. While the 13.8 looks disappointing, he did lose three fumbles. It's highly unlikely he's going to continue having three lost fumbles. If we take two of them away, he'd have finished with 17.8 points, which looks far more appealing. Obviously, that's not how it works, but we're looking at what's most likely moving forward. Is it likely he has three fumbles lost? It's not.
Ridder has been better as of late. He's completed almost 69% of his passes over the last three weeks and has thrown for 886 yards. He has thrown for 300 or more passing yards in two of the last three weeks and has at least 250 in all three. He's also found the end zone as a runner on two occasions.
While he needs to clean up the turnovers -- six in the past three games -- Ridder is performing well and his rushing offers fantasy managers some upside. Through seven games, he has three rushing scores, which has helped him score more than 20 points in two contests. He plays the Titans in Week 8, who have allowed the seventh-most passing touchdowns this season.
