Calvin Ridley Fantasy

It's been a flawless start to the season for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who has scored touchdowns in each of his first two games and totalled 169 receiving yards. He should continue to produce for his owners in Week 3 as the Falcons take on the Colts. Ridley was targeted ten times in Week 2, which is extremely encouraging given that he's the clear second option in the Falcons' passing game behind Julio Jones. Most weeks, he'll probably be closer to eight targets, but with his explosiveness, that should be all he needs to return WR2 value, amounting to around five or six catches for 80-or-so yards and a strong chance of scoring a touchdown.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley pulled in eight receptions (10 targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown during the Week 2 victory over the Eagles. It was yet another promising showing for the sophomore wideout as he has now recorded 12 receptions and two scores on the year. Look for him to continue to get his looks from quarterback Matt Ryan in the Falcons pass-heavy offense. He remains a must-start against the Colts in Week 3.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had 64 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings in Week 1 and should be able to duplicate or improve on those numbers in Week 2. The Falcons will host the Eagles in their home opener Sunday night. The Eagles' pass defense was exploited for 380 passing yards and three touchdowns against a suspect Redskins offense in Week 1, so the Falcons should have plenty of opportunities for big plays through the air. Ridley should see around eight targets in the game, so look for him to deliver around 80-100 receiving yards with a good chance of scoring. Start him confidently as your WR2.
