Calvin Ridley Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught eight of 12 targets for 52 receiving yards in a losing effort to the Buccaneers. Ridley saw 10+ targets for the eighth time this season, finishing up a monster year. He ended up being an excellent value for those who selected him in the third round, as he broke out for career-highs in targets, 143, catches, 90, and receiving yards, 1,374. His impressive route-running and nose for the end zone make him a must-have in fantasy football, especially on the pass-happy Falcons. Ridley will almost certainly be off the board in the early second round of 2021 drafts.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is on fire to end the 2020 season heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Buccaneers. Ridley has at least five catches and 100 receiving yards in each of his last four games, with two touchdowns in that span. He's seen an elite target share without the presence of Julio Jones (hamstring), who could end up sitting out the final game of the season. The Falcons' offense may have to play catch-up with Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, who are still playing for seeding. Ridley is a WR1 either way, but he should be a locked-in part of DFS lineups if Jones is ruled out.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley recorded five receptions for 130 yards on nine targets in Week 16. The WR now has at least nine targets and 108 yards in the last four games and the absence of Julio Jones has led to some monster production for him. Given his stellar recent production, Ridley is a solid WR1 in the season finale next week against a Buccaneers squad allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to wideouts.
