Calvin Ridley Week 7 Outlook - Steelers at Titans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 22nd 2020, 9:30am EDT

Outside of that one game on Monday night where he didn't catch a pass, Ridley has totaled at least 110 yards and/or scored a touchdown in every game. Despite having that zero-point game in Week 4, Ridley is still the No. 1 receiver in fantasy. You can say his ceiling took a hit with Jones back in the lineup, and that's fine, but there should be room for both of them to get near double-digit targets in Week 7. The Lions have faced an average of 22.2 wide receiver targets per game, which has accounted for a 65.3 percent target share (ranks second in the NFL). The cornerback Ridley will see about 70 percent of the time is rookie Jeffrey Okudah, who's had some issues to this point, allowing a 73.1 percent catch-rate and 11.5 yards per target in his coverage. Ridley should continue to be plugging into lineups as a sturdy WR1 even with Jones back.
