Calvin Ridley Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been reinstated by the league after a season-long suspension for betting on NFL games. The Jaguars acquired Ridley from the Atlanta Falcons just before the NFL's in-season trade deadline, so he'll join an offense of Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Christian Kirk, and Evan Engram in 2023. Ridley will be a hot name in fantasy football drafts ahead of the 2023 season, as he could dethrone Kirk as the team's No. 1 wide receiver with an emerging star quarterback in Lawrence. Ridley earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2020, catching 90 passes for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns with Atlanta.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who was suspended indefinitely for betting on NFL games during the 2021 season, applied for reinstatement on Wednesday, according to a source. Ridley was suspended for all of the 2022 season and applied for reinstatement on the first day that he was eligible. The Jags acquired the 28-year-old pass-catcher from the Atlanta Falcons last year, and he should eventually have a pretty big role alongside Christian Kirk and Zay Jones in Jacksonville's ascending offense if he's reinstated by the NFL. In 2020, Ridley had a 1,000-yard season and scored nine times on 90 receptions. He also scored a career-high 10 touchdowns and had over 800 yards in his rookie campaign in 2018.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that the team expects wide receiver Calvin Ridley to be reinstated soon. He can apply for reinstatement on Feb. 15, but he won't be able to have contact with the team football-wise until April 17. Ridley was suspended for the entire 2022 season after he was caught betting on NFL games in November of 2021. The 28-year-old was acquired from the Atlanta Falcons by the Jaguars in exchange for conditional draft picks in 2023 and 2024. Ridley played in only five games due to injury in 2021, but he had a 1,000-yard season with nine touchdowns in 2020 and will add more firepower to an improving Jacksonville offense under young quarterback Trevor Lawrence in 2023.
