In The Blitz, RotoViz writers react to the latest fantasy football news and help you place it within the context of our 2020 research and recommendations.
The 2020 NFL season is officially in full swing, and it’s already given us story lines galore. RotoViz favorite Calvin Ridley was among those who got off to a great start.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley put up a massive stat line in a 38-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Ridley caught nine of 12 passes for 130 yards and two scores, the third multi-touchdown game of his career. Ridley’s 12 targets were tied for the team lead with Julio Jones and Russell Gage (groin) as Atlanta ramped up their passing attack in an effort to make a comeback. If the 25-year-old gets volume like this – which could be likely given the way Atlanta’s defense played – he should have no trouble smashing his ADP. He’ll next take on a Dallas Cowboys team with some question marks in the secondary.
We labeled Ridley one of the 10 Most Undervalued Players in Redraft, and his Week 1 fit our thesis perfectly. Can he keep it up and deliver a league-winning campaign for fantasy owners?
