JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Baltimore Ravens

The charitable way to describe Calvin Ridley’s Week 14 showing would be “inefficient”. The blunt way would be “bloody awful”. Ridley caught just four of his 13 targets for 53 scoreless yards on his way to 7.3 Half-PPR points. 40 wide receivers managed more last week.

Ridley has made himself hard to trust on a weekly basis, and should probably be viewed as a high-end WR3 option for this clash with a Ravens side ranking seventh in aFPA to wide receivers in 2023.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

Calvin Ridley saw a decent workload in Week 13, seeing eight targets for the second most on the team. But he caught only four of them for 26 yards, giving him 5.3 Half-PPR points and a WR45 finish.

The whole Jaguars offense has to be downgraded from a fantasy viewpoint with Trevor Lawrence out of the lineup. The Browns rank 15th in aFPA to wide receivers this season, but that's not enough to project Ridley as anything more than a low-end WR3 this week.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Calvin Ridley was once again among the elite performers in fantasy football last week, finishing as the WR8 overall against the Texans. Ridley caught four of his five targets for 89 yards while also nabbing Trevor Lawrence's only touchdown pass of the game. Ridley is now the WR26 in average fantasy points per game.

The Bengals are an enticing matchup for Ridley in Week 13, as they rank 22nd in aFPA to wide receivers this season. But Ridley is still operating as part of the passing attack and not the focal point of it, so his upside is somewhat capped. Still, he can be viewed as a high-end WR2 for the week ahead.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Houston Texans

What a week that was for Calvin Ridley, with seven grabs for 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans. Ridley finished as the WR1 in Half PPR formats, a long way ahead of his WR31 ranking in average points per game.

Ridley has played himself into solid WR2 territory with his Week 11 deeds, and that's where he should be ranked for the clash with the Texans. The Texans are not great, nor are they bad against wide receivers in 2023, ranking 16th in aFPA to the position. But if Week 11 marks the turning of a corner for Ridley, then it will be hard to not start him this week.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tennessee Titans

Calvin Ridley continues to be an extremely volatile performer, with an absolutely woeful outing against the 49ers in Week 10. Ridley managed just 3.0 Half-PPR points and finished behind 67 other wide receivers. Ridley is the WR46 in average points per game in 2023 with just 8.6.

The Titans rank 21st in aFPA to wide receivers this season. But the struggles of Trevor Lawrence, and Ridley himself, do not make this an appealing matchup for Ridey managers. He should be looked at as a WR4/Flex option this week, with hopes that he can do more. But at the moment, they are only hopes.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. San Francisco 49ers

It's been an enigmatic start to Calvin Ridley's time as a member of the Jaguars. He has seen a 22% target share, with 58 targets to Christian Kirk's 60. But while Kirk has 43 grabs for 520 yards, Ridley has just 33 for 451. Ridley is the WR43 with 9.3 Half-PPR points per game so far.

The 49ers rank 27th in aFPA to wide receivers this season, so Ridley might be able to make some noise. But it's best to view him as a high-end WR3 with potential for more, until (or unless) he starts turning out more consistent production.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 7 saw Calvin Ridley turn in his least productive game of the 2023 season, as he caught just one of four targets for a mere five yards. This catch, and these yards, gave him a grand total of 1.0 Half-PPR points, "good" for WR134 in Week 7. Ridley averages quite a few more points per game but is only the WR45 in per-game scoring in 2023.

The matchup really could not be better for Ridley this week, with no team ranking lower in aFPA to wide receivers than the Steelers. But Ridley's erratic production makes him a hard man to trust in fantasy, so it's probably wise to temper your expectations to high-end WR3 territory this week.
