By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 23rd 2023, 4:05am EDT

Ridley has a 24.3% Target share and a 37.5% air-yard share with 2.05 YPRR. He is second on the team with a 25.9% first-read Target share. Some of that is skewed after last week's game when Christian Kirk had 31.3% of his targets on designed plays. Ridley has also been the Jaguars zone coverage go-to leading the team by a substantial margin in Target share, TPRR, and first-read share. Ridley is tied with Zay Jones for the team lead in red zone targets. They are the only receiving options that Lawrence has looked at inside the 20 this season. Ridley will be peppered this week as he runs about 84% of his routes against Steven Nelson (66.7% catch rate and 40.3 passer rating) and Shaquill Griffin (2022: 68.8% catch rate and 125.0 passer rating.
