Draft note

by John Paulsen

In the 10 games over the past two seasons when Jones played fewer than 30 snaps (i.e. he was out or limited), Ridley averaged 6.3 catches (on 10.3 targets) for 95 yards and 0.30 touchdowns. The touchdowns were low given that usage–he averaged 0.72 touchdowns in the games that Jones played his full snaps–so expect Ridley to catch plenty of touchdowns in 2021 and perhaps crack the 1,500-yard mark if he stays healthy. Ridley should be going off the board in the second round.

Olamide Zaccheus 'clear favorite' to win for Falcons WR3

Kevin Knight - SB Nation

Aug 04 · 2:36 PM EDT

Falcons WR Olamide Zaccheus has been the standout wide receiver for the Falcons with Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage leading the depth chart, according to Kevin Knight of 'The Falcoholic' of SB Nation. "Zaccheaus has also notably been lined up both in the slot and outside, so there’s a chance he could be the starting outside WR opposite Calvin Ridley when the Falcons are in 12 personnel packages," wrote Knight.

Fantasy Impact:

The last line is important to note as Russell Gage has worked best from the slot. Zaccheus could also line up opposite another Falcons receiver if Atlanta wants Ridley to get looks inside away from potential shadow coverage. The Falcons may have to throw more unless RB Mike Davis can impress similarly as he did with Carolina in 2020. That could mean more snaps and targets for Zaccheus after showing signs of talent when injuries took away some of Atlanta's receiver depth last season.

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).
