Calvin Ridley Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five passes on six targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in a 24-21 road victory over the Houston Texans. After recording zero receptions on only one target in the first half, Ridley and quarterback Trevor Lawrence caught fire in the second and were nearly unstoppable. The duo hooked up for a one-yard score in the third quarter where Ridley completely lost his defender, and then once again the very next play for a two-point conversion. The twenty-eight-year-old wideout certainly gave fantasy managers a scare with his goose egg first half but the rapport between him and Lawrence was on full display in the second half. That is now consecutive top-10 WR performances from Ridley, who appears to be gearing up for a strong second half of the season. Up next is a home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley takes on the division rival Houston Texans in a Week 12 road matchup this Sunday. Ridley finished as the overall WR1 last week, dropping 100+ yards and two scores on the Titans. A lot of emphasis has been put on the return of Zay Jones helping Ridley succeed, as all of his top-10 weekly finishes have come with Jones active. Granted, all of those Weeks came in plus matchups as well, so it's tough to know how much the former ECU receivers' presence has truly helped Ridley. Jones' status is currently up in the air, but regardless if he plays or not, Ridley can be viewed as a low-end WR2 which would be slightly upgraded if his fellow wideout is able to go.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in seven passes on a team-high nine targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans this Sunday. No one should be shocked by this effort from the most boom-bust player in fantasy. That is now three top-10 weekly finishes for the former first-round pick, to go along with five outside the top-50. We've seen Ridley boom in some favorable matchups, and he did it again in this one with an all-around herculean effort that currently has him at WR1 on the week heading into Sunday Night Football. Ridley and quarterback Trevor Lawrence were in sync all game long, with touchdown hookups of three and twenty yards. The speedy wide receiver also appeared to be operating with an expanded route tree and not just the usual vertical deep routes we have become accustomed to the past few weeks, which is great for his outlook moving forward. The former Falcon will look to stay hot against the Texans stingy pass defense in Week 12.
