JAX WR Calvin Ridley - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Former Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was reinstated to the Jaguars' active roster earlier this year. Ridley, who was previously on indefinite suspension for gambling on NFL games, should add significant firepower to an already ascendant offense. Despite a year-plus away from the game, reports out of Jacksonville have been extremely positive and Ridley has looked dominant in early training camp workouts. The Jaguars finished 10th in the NFL in scoring (23.8 points per game), passing (232.9 yards) and total offense (357.4 yards) in 2022.

Fantasy Downside
Ridley hasn't played in an NFL game since Oct. 24, 2021. He will join a Jaguars pass-catching unit already features receivers Christian Kirk and Zay Jones as well as tight end Evan Engram after all three set career highs in receptions and receiving yards in 2022.

2023 Bottom Line
Downtime aside, Ridley, who is just 28, had 248 catches for 3,342 yards and 28 touchdowns in 49 games with the Falcons, including 90 catches for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020. If he's able to play at a similar level this year, the Jaguars could have one of the best offenses in the NFL and fantasy managers will have landed a value with a player currently ranked as our WR19 and going off at the end of the fourth round.

ATL WR Calvin Ridley- Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Panthers

Calvin Ridley had an interesting outing in Week 7. He once again led the way with 10 targets, but only hauled in four of those targets for just 26 yards. He did score his second touchdown of the season. He has double-digit targets in four straight games. But the arrival of Kyle Pitts may soon start to limit the fantasy ceiling of Ridley, especially as Atlanta starts using Pitts more on the outside. Fortunately for Ridley, Carolina is one of his favorite teams to play. He's had at least 130 yards receiving in two of his last four outings against the Panthers. He's a WR2 with WR1 upside.

ATL WR Calvin Ridley- Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Dolphins

Calvin Ridley is set to return this week after taking off Week 5 due to personal issues. He should have no trouble getting right back on track against a poor Dolphins defense, including Byron Jones and Xavien Howard being banged up. Ridley is our No. 10 half-PPR WR for the week and continues to be a strong start.

ATL WR Calvin Ridley- Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs Jets

Ho-hum, another solid day for Calvin Ridley. Now if only he can score some touchdowns, as he still has just one through four games. But Matt Ryan is feeding him the ball. 13 targets against Washington led the way again. Maybe a trip across the pond will change Ridley's fortunes in regards to touchdowns. Regardless, he's always a strong play each week. This week is no exception.

*UPDATE: Calvin Ridley is out in Week 5

ATL WR Calvin Ridley- Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Washington

Calvin Ridley is still Matt Ryan's favorite target. Another 11 targets against the Giants and 29 for the season. He has at least 50 yards and five catches in every game so far in 2021. No reason to shy away from him now.

ATL WR Calvin Ridley- Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Giants

As Atlanta's offense goes, so does Calvin Ridley. He caught his first touchdown pass of the season and had his first double-digit target day against the Buccaneers. As long as Matt Ryan is allowed to continue throwing the football, Ridley is going to be fed targets, giving him all the opportunity in the world. He's a top ten receiver this week, especially after seeing what Terry McLaurin did to the Giants in Week 2 (11-107-1).

ATL WR Calvin Ridley- Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Buccaneers

Calvin Ridley's 2021 start was a far cry from his 2020 start (9/130/2). Still, he ties for the team lead with eight targets. There shouldn't be any concern going forward with Ridley. Matt Ryan will find him. Plus, Tampa allowed two 100-yard receivers in Week 1. Ridley should be excited for Sunday to turn things around, especially if he can come close to his Week 15 performance from last season of 10/163/1 on 14 targets.
