Wide Receiver Outlook Week 3
We may not only be in the midst of watching Calvin Ridley (WR3) take the torch from Julio Jones as Atlanta’s top receiving target, but we may be watching the development of one of the league’s elite pass-catchers. Ridley leads all fantasy receivers in points through the first two weeks of play and it’s not even close. Ridley’s 63.8 points thus far are 13.9 more points than then next closest highest-scoring receiver (DeAndre Hopkins 49.9). Ridley has now topped 100 yards or scored one-plus touchdowns in five of his last six games dating back to last season.
A Week 3 matchup against the Bears may sound daunting, but Detroit’s top-three leading receivers saw a total of 25 targets come their way against Chicago back in Week 1. Expect Ridley’s high-volume usage to continue as he’s now seen an average of 11.5 targets over four of his last five games.
