Calvin Ridley (personal) ruled out vs. Jets

Oct 07, 2021

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been ruled out for Week 5 due to a personal matter.

Fantasy Impact:

Ridley will not be making the trip to London and will miss Week 5's contest against the New York Jets. With number two receiver Russell Gage also expected to miss the trip, it may be the Cordarrelle Patterson show again this weekend. Olamide Zacchaeus, Tajae Sharpe, and Christian Blake are now the Falcons top three wide receivers (if you count Patterson as a running back). Expect Patterson to run more routes than usual in Week 5 and for the Falcons to increase their usage of two tight end formations.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
