Charles Johnson, Teddy Bridgewater, Greg Jennings' Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

Andrew GouldDec 14, 2014

Even as Teddy Bridgewater makes rookie mistakes, he continues to display more upside each week.

Against the Detroit Lions' potent defense, he caught fire out of the gate, entering halftime with 189 passing yards and a touchdown. He also threw two picks in succession before the break, however, as noted by NFL on ESPN:

Turnovers aside, it's promising to see Bridgewater fluently move the ball against an upper-echelon passing defense. He has turned a corner late into his rookie season, completiting more than 70 percent of his passes for the third straight game.

Greg Jennings3431514.3

While he's still too shaky to trust as anything more than a No. 2 quarterback, his progress bodes well for Greg Jennings—who secured his third score in four games—and Charles Johnson, who has replaced Cordarrelle Patterson as the Minnesota Vikings' fantasy darling.

Before Sunday's slate, 4for4football's John Paulsen illuminated Johnson's ascension into a relevant fantasy wideout.

If still floating around the waiver wire, Johnson is a must-add, even if just to block someone else from attaining his services. 

Another tough matchup awaits next weekend in the Miami Dolphins, but those who play through the end will want Johnson and Jennings around when they face the Chicago Bears in Week 17. Bridgewater could even cap off the season in style before becoming an intriguing 2015 sleeper.
