The Facts: Sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapopor that Ridder, who began the season as Atlanta's starter, is expected to resume that role on Nov. 26 against the Saints.

Diehards Line: Ridder has been the backup to Taylor Heinicke the last two games, both losses. Ridder is 4-4 as a starter this season, with plenty of big moments. The hope is that the two-game break during which Heinicke started serves as a reboot for Ridder. Falcons head coach Arthur Smith had said prior to this weekend's bye that naming a QB during that week was a "little premature," but added that he considered the hamstring injury that Heinicke suffered against the Cardinals to be a low-grade one. In short, the QB decision would be made, injury or not. Now, it's slated to be Ridder.
