Scouting report

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.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New Orleans Saints

Calvin Ridley is beginning to look like a real road warrior, if his home versus road splits are anything to go by. Granted, two of his games have been played in London, but at home he averages 6.3 Half-PPR points per game, while on the road this jumps all the way up to 18.6. Ridley caught four of his eight targets for 30 scoreless yards in Week 6 on his way to 4.6 Half-PPR points. Ridley is the WR31 in fantasy points per game in 2023.

Statistically, the Saints are Ridley's favorite opponents, with 556 receiving yards in six games against them. That would go down a treat with his managers this week, but it will not be easy. The Saints are ranked 14th in aFPA to wide receivers in 2023, which coupled with Ridley's volatile performances so far this season makes him a low-end WR2 projection.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Calvin Ridley broke out of his mini-slump against the Bills in Week 5, going over 100 receiving yards for the first time since the opening week of the season. Ridley caught seven of his eight targets for 122 yards, adding another 14 on two rushing attempts. Ridley racked up 17.1 Half-PPR points, finishing as WR9 in Week 5, and after five weeks he is the WR23 in points per game.

Ridley fantasy managers should be able to count on another decent outing from him this week as the Jaguars take on the Colts. The Colts rank 22nd in aFPA allowed to wide receivers this season. Ridley's volatility is evident after his recent dry spell, but he should be viewed as a low-end WR1 option in Week 6.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Buffalo Bills (London)

It was another quiet week for Calvin Ridley, who at least found the end zone against his former team in Week 4. Ridley's 30-yard touchdown catch was joined by just one other catch for eight yards as Ridley finished as the WR27 last week. Ridley is the WR34 in Half-PPR points per game.

Ridley and the Jaguars wide receivers face an awful matchup in their second London game this week. The Bills rank second in aFPA allowed to wide receivers. With Ridley seemingly now behind Christian Kirk (and probably Evan Engram) on the target totem pole, it's hard to imagine him producing at more than a mid-tier WR2 level this week.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Atlanta Falcons (London)

Week 1 is starting to feel like a very long time ago for the Jaguars, and Calvin Ridley in particular. Ridley commanded seven targets against the Texans, but could only manage 40 scoreless yards on three grabs. Ridley earned 5.5 Half PPR points, "good" for WR66 in Week 3. After three games, Ridley is the WR41 in fantasy points per game.

Ridley faces his old team, the Atlanta Falcons, at Wembley on Sunday. It's not exactly the cake matchup Ridley or his fantasy managers would like, as the Falcons currently rank third in aFPA to wide receivers in 2023. Ridley is seeing work though, and his opportunity share hints that a return to his Week 1 form is not far away. Still, a high-end WR2 seems to be his ceiling this week.

JAX WR Calvin Ridley - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Houston Texans

The Kansas City Chiefs were able to keep Calvin Ridley quiet a week ago, holding him to just two catches from eight targets and 32 receiving yards. Ridley only managed 4.2 Half PPR points, a tally exceeded by 75 wide receivers last week.

The redemption of Ridley should come quickly against the Texans. Still, some concern from last week must be baked into any Ridley projection this week, so a low-end WR1 week seems a safe bet.
