Calvin Ridley Could Be Poised For Another Big Week
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has excelled in two straight weeks, totalling 14 catches for 228 yards and two touchdowns on a whopping 22 targets. The targets are likely going to keep coming his way this week as the team will very likely be without star receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) and tight end Austin Hooper (knee). Neither player has practiced yet this week and the team has a short week of rest with a matchup against the Saints on Thanksgiving. The Saints have an elite run defense, so the Falcons are going to need to pass to stay competitive. Ridley should see around 10 targets in the game, giving him a great chance to gain around 100 yards and score another touchdown.
