Falcons' Calvin Ridley totals 10 receptions, 163 yards, and 1 touchdown in Week 15 loss to Tampa Bay
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught 10 of 14 targets for 163 yards and 1 touchdown in a 31-27 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15.
What It Means:
Ridley continued to operate as a true alpha wide receiver with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined in Week 15. He recorded a 29.1% target share on a day when the Falcons attempted 48 passes. Ridley's touchdown came on a 12-yard reception in the second quarter, and he almost added another from 30+ yards late in the game, but it was broken up. Ridley has now seen at least 10 targets and produced over 100 yards in each of his last three games. Next up for Atlanta is a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16.
Ridley scored 27.3 FanDuel points in Week 15, the most of any wide receiver on Sunday's early slate and 12.7 more than numberFire's projection (14.6). Our models project Ridley for 13.3 FanDuel points in Week 16.
