Calvin Ridley Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley recorded seven receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's loss to Tampa. Ridley once again was a major factor for the Falcons and performed better in the most important statistical categories in Week 2 compared to Week 1. He also paced the team in receptions and targets in Week 2. As Matt Ryan's top receiving option, Ridley should see enough volume each week to put up decent numbers. Thus, he is a solid WR1 going forward.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 option against Tampa this week. As expected, Ridley paced the team last week with five receptions for 51 yards on eight targets in Week 1 against the Eagles. With Julio Jones out of town, the youngster now has no competition for the WR1 role and should see a high number of targets each week. After one week, the Bucs rank first in points allowed to fantasy wideouts, meaning Ridley is one of the best starts of Week 2.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a quiet day in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Ridley scuffled to just 51 receiving yards in a beatable matchup against the Philadelphia secondary, though he did see eight targets, tied for the team lead with rookie Kyle Pitts. Even in a down performance, it's clear that Ridley won't have much resistance this year in the target department, meaning he should produce WR1 numbers more often than not. A bounce-back opportunity awaits in Week 2 against the Buccaneers defense, who surrendered 163 yards and a touchdown to Ridley in one game last year.
