Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Falcons are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on star WR Calvin Ridley. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact:

Ridley will certainly deserve to have his fifth-year option picked up. He enjoyed a breakout season in 2020 and officially put his name in the upper tier of elite wide receivers. He caught 90 passes for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns on 143 targets. He led the NFL in 100-yard receiving games with eight and was a big play threat every single time he ran a route. Ridley was constantly open with his crisp and sharp route running ability. He's a bonafide WR1 in all fantasy formats and will be a key piece for the Falcons for the foreseeable future.
