Calvin Ridley Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a monster day in Week 11 against the Panthers, catching all eight of his targets for 143 yards and a touchdown. It was only Ridley's second 100-yard game of the season. The first one came all the way back in Week 2. Clearly, Matt Ryan saw something he liked in Ridley's matchup this week and exploited it heavily. Ridley had as many targets as his superstar teammate Julio Jones and outperformed Jones significantly as Jones had six catches for 91 yards in the game. Ridley should continue to see an uptick in targets with Austin Hooper (knee) sidelined, so make sure he's in your lineup with his favorable matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 12.

It's been a roller-coaster type of year for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley. He was rolling early in the season, but has gone without a touchdown in three straight games, and has failed to top 30 receiving yards in two of those three games. This week, Ridley and the Falcons face the Panthers. The team is going to be short-handed offensively with Austin Hooper (MCL) and Devonta Freeman (foot) sidelined. There's also a chance that quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) misses the game. Ridley should have an opportunity to step up in the absence of Hooper and Freeman. Expect him to see at least six or seven targets from whoever is quarterback, giving him a good chance to come down with four or more catches and around 70 or 80 yards. He's a solid WR2 option this week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley finished with just three catches for 28 yards during the win over the Saints in Week 10. Ridley was targeted five times on Sunday, his second-lowest of the season, and also failed to find the end zone for the third time in the team's last three games. After scoring four times during the first six games of the season, the 24-year-old has disappeared for the most part as of late. He remains a suitable starter in all formats but desperately needs to get it together against the Panthers in Week 11.
