  • Shifts to IR

    The Titans placed Ridley (fibula) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fractured fibula during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. The 30-year-old wideout will finish his second campaign in Tennessee with just 17 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns on 36 targets over seven games. Though Ridley is on the books through 2027 on a four-year, $92 million contract, he could be designated as a post-June 1 cut this offseason to save $18.7 million in cap space.

  • Done for season with fibula injury

    Interim head coach Mike McCoy noted after Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans that Ridley is out for the season with a broken fibula, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com and Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site report.

    Analysis: In his first game back after missing time with a hamstring injury, Ridley suffered a season-ending injury. In his looming absence, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and Van Jefferson are next up for the Titans' WR targets, though as Week 12 approaches, Dike is dealing with a chest contusion and Ayomanor a hamstring issue, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com.

    Ridley (ankle) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Texans.

    Analysis: With Chimere Dike (concussion) also not slated to return to the game, the Titans are left with Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey to handle WR duties versus Houston. Ridley's next chance to see game action will arrive next Sunday against the Seahawks.

  • Hurts ankle Sunday

    Ridley was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Texans after sustaining an ankle injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest -- his first since Week 6 -- Ridley caught his only target for 13 yards. In his absence, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey will handle the Titans' Week 11 WR duties.

  • Active versus Houston

    Ridley (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Ridley, who had missed three consecutive games prior to the Titans' Week 10 bye, was able to log limited practices Wednesday through Friday, before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Houston confirmed, barring any setbacks or in-game limitations, Ridley is poised to reclaim his key role in Tennessee's passing offense.

  • Expected to return Sunday

    Ridley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, is likely to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley missed each of Tennessee's past three games while dealing with an injured hamstring. He was able to log a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday following Tennessee's Week 10 bye, and the veteran wideout now seems ready to return to game action. If Ridley does indeed suit up Sunday, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike and the other members of the Titans' wideout corps could each take a step down in the team's pass-catching pecking order.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Ridley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley has missed three consecutive games, but following the Titans' Week 10 bye, the wideout logged limited practices Wednesday through Friday, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend. Fortunately for those considering Ridley in Week 11 fantasy lineups, Tennessee kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Ridley is limited or out versus Houston, however, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson would be in line to continue to see added WR opportunities.

  • Another limited practice

    Ridley (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: After logging back-to-back limited sessions, Ridley, who has missed the Titans' past three contests, is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Friday's injury report will reveal whether the wideout is able to upgrade his participation level, as well as his injury designation (or lack thereof) ahead of Week 11 action.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Ridley (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley has missed three consecutive games, in which span he didn't practice at all, but coming off Tennessee's bye he appears to have made notable progress in his recovery. If the veteran wideout is able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's home game against the Texans. That said, across six regular-season appearances so far Ridley is averaging just 48.3 receiving yards, and he remains without a touchdown on the…read more

    Ridley (hamstring) is slated to practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley has missed the Titans' past three games and hasn't practiced since Week 6, but following his team's bye, the wideout appears to be trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Texans approaches. Prior to sustaining his hamstring injury, Ridley recorded a 16-290-0 receiving line on 35 targets through five full games and the six snaps he saw Oct. 12.

  • Ruled out again

    Ridley (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley, who as of Thursday hadn't practiced since being forced out of Week 6 action after just six snaps, thus is slated to miss his third straight game, and with the Titans on bye Week 10, his next chance to play won't arrive until Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Texans. In Ridley's continued absence, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson -- who each logged eight targets Week 8 -- once again will lead Tennessee's WR corps this weekend.

    Analysis: Ridley hasn't practiced since being forced out of Week 6 action, so his status for Sunday's game against the Chargers remains cloudy.

    Ridley (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Given that Ridley has yet to practice since being forced out of Week 6 action after just six snaps, the wideout's continued absence at Wednesday's session isn't a good sign as Sunday's game against the Chargers approaches. If Ridley is sidelined for a third straight game this weekend, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson would continue to lead the Titans' WR corps versus Los Angeles.

    Analysis: Ridley hasn't practiced since exiting a Week 6 loss to the Raiders after just six snaps. Van Jefferson has stepped up as a full-time wideout opposite Elic Ayomanor the past two games, with Chimere Dike getting most of the slot snaps as the No. 3 receiver.

    Analysis: With Ridley out, look for Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson (ankle) -- if available -- to lead the Titans' WR corps versus New England. Chimere Dike and Tyler Lockett also should mix in, as was the case Week 6 when Ridley exited after just six snaps. Ridley's next chance to play will occur Sunday, Oct. 26 against the Colts.

The wideout now has two more opportunities to practice ahead of this weekend's game against the Patriots, but if Ridley ends up limited or sidelined, added snaps/targets would be available for Van Jefferson, who stepped into an expanded role in Week 6 following Ridley's departure.

    Ridley recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 131 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Ridley entered Sunday's game having recorded only 141 yards combined across his first four games of the season. He finally got on track against the Cardinals, accounting for the Titans' three longest plays from scrimmage with receptions of 47, 38 and 25 yards. His longest two came at particularly opportune times, as he helped set up a touchdown early in the fourth quarter before getting Tennessee into field-goal range to attempt the game-winning kick as time expired.

    Analysis: Ridley is working through knee and elbow injuries, which caused him to miss the first two practices of the week before logging a limited session Friday to earn the questionable tag. The veteran wideout looks to be available for Week 5, though official word on his status may not come until the Titans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Snaps dialed back due to injury

    Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Ridley had his snaps dialed back during Sunday's loss to the Texans due an undisclosed injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: After playing at least 86 percent of the offensive snaps during each of the Titans' first three games, Ridley was on the field for just 54 percent against Houston. It translated into yet another disappointing box score for the 30-year-old wideout, as he finished with just two catches for 30 scoreless yards on three targets. Ridley has yet to find the end zone this season and has been held to 30 yards or fewer in three of four contests. In total, Ridley has an ugly 10-141-0 line on 24 targets.…read more

  • Struggles continue

    Ridley recorded two receptions on three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: There was some reason for mild optimism about Ridley's performance to begin Sunday's game, as he hauled in his first two targets -- one of which went for a 22-yard gain. However, he was targeted only once and went without a catch in the second half to continue an abysmal season. Ridley now has 30 receiving yards or fewer in three of four games, and he has converted only nine of his 24 targets into receptions as Cam Ward and the Titans' passing game remains horribly out of sync.

  • Disastrous showing in loss to Colts

    Ridley recorded one reception on seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The Titans continue to prioritize Ridley in their offense, as he led the team in targets Sunday. However, he struggled with drops and lacked rapport with Cam Ward, which led to the poor showing. Ridley has now been held to under 30 receiving yards in two of three games this season despite earning a minimum of six targets in every contest.

  • Some impovement in Week 2

    Ridley recorded three receptions on six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Ridley tied for the team lead in targets with both Elic Ayomanor and Chig Okonkwo, though he beat out Ayomanor by one yard to lead Tennessee pass catchers. Ridley's longest catch of the day went for 26 yards, when Cam Ward rolled out to his right and hit him along the sideline. It was an improved performance for Ridley, though Ayomanor is emerging as a key part of the offense and looks likely to continue to cut into Ridley's opportunities.

    Ridley recorded four receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Ridley led the Titans in targets and receptions, but he was not efficient with his chances and was slightly out of sync with Cameron Ward. The duo connected for a 13-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, Ridley's longest catch of the day. However, he had a few passes glance off his hands later in the contest as the Titans tried to mount a comeback, and Ridley had a particularly costly drop on the team's final offensive possession.

    Coach Brian Callahan said over the weekend that Ridley (soreness) is on pace to be ready for Week 1 against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7, Nick Suss of The Tennessean reports.

    Analysis: Ridley has missed practice time during training camp with what the Titans have termed as "general soreness," but it doesn't sound like his availability for the start of the regular season is in question. He played 11 offensive snaps in the Titans' preseason opener and caught all three of his targets for 50 yards. He's expected to command the lion's share of the targets in Tennessee's passing game this season.

    Ridley recorded three receptions on three targets for 50 yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Ridley played two offensive possessions, with Cameron Ward under center for both. Ridley was a key contributor to the latter drive, connecting with Ward for gains of 27, 13 and 10 yards, easily leading the team in receiving yards. Ridley will almost certainly remain Ward's primary target come the regular season, and their connection got off to a positive start Saturday.

    Analysis: Ward aired out several deep pass attempts during the practice session, hitting Ridley on a 40-yard shot as he was covered by Roger McCreary. Ridley also made a diving catch later on another deep route, displaying rapport early on in camp with his rookie quarterback. Given the projected improved offensive line and quarterback play around him in 2025, Ridley should be in a good position to post his third consecutive 1,000 receiving-yard season.

    Analysis: Ridley had a successful opening season with the Titans, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his career. That achievement was made more impressive by the fact that he suffered from inconsistent quarterback play from Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, something that the team hopes to have remedied with the selection of Ward.

  • Reaches milestone with TEN

    Ridley recorded three receptions on five targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Texans. He added two rushes for negative three yards.

    Analysis: Ridley was held quiet for much of the game, though he broke free for two big gains of 24 and 39 yards just before halftime and the end of the game, respectively. That pushed him over 1,000 receiving yards on the season and also one yard over his total from the 2023 campaign. Ridley will likely be back to lead the Tennessee receiving corps in 2025, and he could see improved results with a rookie quarterback likely leading the offense.

  • Produces late in loss

    Ridley recorded five receptions on six targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for seven yards.

    Analysis: The entire Tennessee offense struggled to get going, and the team had only 37 net passing yards entering halftime. As a result, Ridley's slow start to the game was unsurprising, though he managed to come alive in the second half with long catches of 24, 20 and 19 yards. He needs 59 receiving yards in a Week 18 matchup against the Texans to top 1,000 for the second consecutive campaign.

    Analysis: Ridley finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Titans, adding his first touchdown catch since Week 10 on a 38-yard grab with just under eight minutes remaining in the first quarter. The veteran speedster's yardage total was also his highest since Week 12, and he seemed to have solid rapport with new starter Mason Rudolph overall. Ridley will have a chance to target the suspect secondary of his old Jaguars squad in a Week 17 road clash.

    Analysis: Ridley saw his fewest targets since Week 4, though he still made explosive plays with the ball in his hands. He tallied long receptions of 21 and 16 yards and supplemented that with a 19-yard rush off the right end late in the third quarter. Even so, Ridley has 60 or fewer yards from scrimmage in four of his last five games.

    Ridley recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Ridley dominated opportunity in the passing game, as no other Titans pass catcher saw more than four targets. That didn't lead to a great stat line, and Ridley ultimately needed a long 30-yard reception midway through the fourth quarter to have even a mediocre performance. He also drew negative attention for stepping out of bounds on a third-down play while seemingly having the chance to turn upfield to get past the sticks. The Titans failed to convert on the next play, ending Tennessee's best…read more

  • Can't convert opportunities

    Ridley recorded two receptions on seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Ridley had been on a strong run of production, though this performance was reminiscent of his struggles earlier in the campaign. He struggled to get on the same page as Will Levis on both long and short-distance targets, with his only catches going for 30 and 15 yards. Positively, Ridley continues to get plenty of opportunities, as he now has at least seven targets in six of his last eight contests.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Ridley (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to a full practice one day later sets the stage for the wideout to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Through 11 games to date, Ridley -- who has scored three TDs in that span -- leads Titans pass catchers in receptions (41), targets (80) and receiving yards (634). He figures to remain busy once again this weekend on the heels of a 5-93-0 effort on six targets in Tennessee's 32-27 win over the Texans in Week 12.

    Ridley (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: After he missed Wednesday's session, Ridley's return to the field a day later bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Titans' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's participation level, but so far there's nothing to suggest that Ridley is in danger of being out this weekend.

  • Sits out practice with ankle injury

    Ridley didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley is tending to the ankle injury after playing 79 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans while finishing with five receptions for 93 yards on six targets. His absence from practice to begin Week 13 prep makes his status worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Commanders, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that Ridley's availability for the contest is in danger.

  • Tallies 93 yards

    Ridley recorded five receptions on six targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Ridley saw only six targets for the second consecutive week as both Tyler Boyd and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine earned increased usage in the Tennessee offense. However, his role as the big-play threat remains intact, as he broke free for a 63-yard catch early in the second quarter. Ridley now has at least one reception of 20 yards in six consecutive games while also topping 70 receiving yards in four of his last five contests.

  • No injury designation for Week 12

    Ridley (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, but he isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday after returning to full practice participation Thursday and Friday. He has excelled since the Titans traded away DeAndre Hopkins, with 358 receiving yards and two touchdowns in four subsequent games.

  • Turns in full practice

    Ridley (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley was held out of the Titans' first Week 12 practice due to the illness, but he felt well enough to take every rep in practice a day later to clear up most of the concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Texans. After being contained for just three catches over a three-game stretch from Weeks 3 through 6, Ridley has been a more reliable contributor for fantasy managers over the ensuing five weeks, producing a 27-400-2 receiving line on 47 targets during that stretch.

    Analysis: Though Ridley won't practice Wednesday, head coach Brian Callahan noted that the wideout is expected back for Thursday's session.

  • Gains 58 yards in loss

    Ridley brought in four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Ridley was unable to replicate his big scoring day from a week prior, but he still churned out serviceable production Sunday. The 29-year-old's fantasy value has taken a hit overall since he joined the Titans, as he has a 36-541-3 receiving line through 10 games and has eclipsed 85 receiving yards just once all season. Ridley still offers enough juice for those in deeper formats, or even as a Week 12 bye replacement in standard leagues against the Texans next Sunday.

    Ridley recorded five receptions on nine targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Ridley had increased his production with Mason Rudolph under center across the past three games, but he managed his best performance of the season with Will Levis back under center in Week 10. Ridley began the contest in impressive form by catching a deep 41-yard touchdown on the Titans' opening possession after he broke free from coverage over the middle of the field.

    Ridley recorded five receptions (on eight targets) for 73 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Ridley remained a focal point of the Tennessee offense and now has drawn at least eight targets in four consecutive games. His production in that span has varied widely, though he managed a 25-yard gain early in the second quarter while also accounting for 30 yards on two catches on Tennessee's game-winning drive in overtime.

    Analysis: Ridley's return to a full practice a day after sitting out Wednesday's session indicating that his shoulder injury won't be anything that keeps him from playing this Sunday against the Patriots. The 29-year-old wideout has endured a tough first season in Tennessee, but he turned in his best game to date in the Titans' 52-14 loss to Detroit this past Sunday, when he recorded 10 catches for 143 yards on 15 targets.

    Analysis: Ridley handled an 80 percent snap share and a 92 percent route share in Sunday's 52-14 loss at Detroit, catching 10 of 15 targets for 143 yards. The Titans have offered no indication that his shoulder injury is serious, but another absence from practice Thursday would create some doubt about Ridley's availability for a home game against the Patriots this Sunday. Out of his 326 receiving yards this season, 36.2 percent came in the first quarter of the blowout loss to Detroit.

  • Finally gets on track

    Ridley recorded 10 receptions on 15 targets for 143 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: The Titans have been doing everything they can to get Ridley the ball, but he entered Sunday's game with only three catches across 17 targets over the last two games. His outlook brightened in Sunday's loss thanks to big gains of 47 and 26 yards, and he showed at least some modest rapport with Mason Rudolph. Given the state of the Titans' offense, it's difficult to trust Ridley moving forward despite Sunday's positive outcome.

  • Cleared to face Lions

    Ridley (foot) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Ridley's status was looking iffy after consecutive absences from practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he has gained clearance to suit up for an enticing matchup with a Detroit defense that's allowing the most yards per game in the league to wide receivers. Ridley has caught only five of 23 targets over his last four games, but he'll be the clear No. 1 option in Tennessee's receiving corps after DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Kansas City earlier in the week.

    Analysis: Ridley handled his usual workload in a 34-10 loss at Buffalo on Sunday, leading the Titans in targets (nine) and route share (77 percent) but catching just three passes for 42 yards. With the Titans trading DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs on Wednesday, Ridley could end up drawing a few more targets, although volume has been the least of his problems in what's been a dismal Tennessee offense through six games.

  • Shows mild improvement

    Ridley recorded three receptions on nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Ridley voiced frustration following a Week 6 loss during which he failed to record a reception on eight targets. He remained highly inefficient in Sunday's loss, though he did manage his highest yardage since Week 2. Even with strong opportunity on a weekly basis, Ridley will be unreliable until the Titans' offense shows some signs of improvement.

    Ridley failed to come up with any of his eight targets and rushed once for nine yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ridley logged a team-high target total but somehow failed to come up with any of the passes thrown his way. The veteran is mired in a forgettable three-game stretch during which he's posted a combined 2-14 line on 14 targets, and Will Levis' failure to develop any consistent rapport with the valued offseason addition could help spur a quarterback change to Mason Rudolph ahead of a Week 7 road matchup against the Bills.

    Ridley caught one of three targets for five yards and added a 10-yard rush in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ridley was a non-factor for a second consecutive game. After starting his Titans tenure with 137 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown through two games, Ridley has just 24 total yards in the last two games heading into a Week 5 bye. Ridley will try to get back on track Week 6 against the Colts, though it remains to be seen if he'll be catching passes from Will Levis (shoulder) or Mason Rudolph, the latter of whom had 85 passing yards after replacing the injured Levis in the first quarter Monday.

    Analysis: Ridley had managed decent production despite Will Levis' incompetence for the first two weeks of the season, though he made no impact in Sunday's loss. His lone catch of the game came midway through the third quarter and did set up one of Tennesse's touchdowns. Ridley and all of the Titans' pass catchers are likely to remain volatile due to Levis' inconsistent play.

Ridley was solely responsible for Tennessee's other end-zone visit as well, scoring on a 10-yard end around late in the first quarter.

    Ridley recorded three receptions on seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Ridley made his Titans debut and led the team with seven targets and 50 yards. However, he and Will Levis still struggled to connect on several deep targets, which led to an inefficient performance overall. It's also unclear if he will be able to keep his target advantage over the rest of the wide receiver corps, as DeAndre Hopkins played only 24.6 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

  • Working on rapport with Levis

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the deep-ball relationship between Ridley and quarterback Will Levis needs improvement, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

    Analysis: It's not time to panic this early in camp, as Levis has had relatively few reps as a pro and Ridley is new to Tennessee. However, the report still raises some concern, because Ridley was among the league leaders in deep targets and air yards last season. Meanwhile, Levis led the league in air yards per attempt. That combination suggests that the duo should be productive on deep shots down the field. Callahan noted that the two are working hard to get on the same page, including watching game…read more

  • May be used like Ja'Marr Chase

    Titans coach Brian Callahan told ESPN's Kevin Clark that he envisions Ridley's role as being "very similar" to what Ja'Marr Chase did for the Bengals.

    Analysis: Chase is bigger, stronger and probably also faster, not to mention he has Joe Burrow throwing him the ball rather than Will Levis. Still, it's promising that Callahan -- the former offensive coordinator in Cincinnati -- hopes to have Ridley mimic Chase's usage, as the 2021 fifth overall pick got a lot of easy receptions the past two years, including 35 targets behind the line of scrimmage in 2023 (tied for second most among WRs).

The 29-year-old wideout managed a 76-1,016-8 receiving line across 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2023, his first NFL action since 2021, and it's possible that another offseason to build chemistry with Trevor Lawrence could allow Ridley to truly become the No. 1 option he was billed as last season.

If the team somehow ends up with both guys, Zay Jones' chances of sticking around for the final year of his contract would be close to nil.

He was on the old side for his draft class (2018 first round), got suspended for all of 2022 and then played out 2023 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. He wasn't quite the dominant No. 1 option the Jaguars (and many fantasy drafters) had been hoping for in 2023, but he did play all 17 games en route to a 76-1,016-8 line on 136 targets (55.9 percent catch rate, 7.5 YPT).

    Analysis: Ridley finally broke out with a huge fantasy score after managers were forced to endure three weeks of inefficient play. Jacksonville's top wideout scored both of his touchdowns in the second half of Sunday's loss, but the second came from the arm of backup quarterback C.J.

The absence of Christian Kirk (groin) has resulted in back-to-back games with double-digit targets for Ridley after he reached that total just twice in his previous 12 contests.

    Analysis: Ridley benefitted from the absence of Christian Kirk (groin) and saw a season-high 13 targets. However, he struggled to produce, as he averaged only 4.1 yards per target with a long gain of just 16 yards.

He snapped both unfavorable streaks with his performance, tallying touchdown catches of three and 20 yards.

    Analysis: Ridley tied Evan Engram for the team lead in targets while finishing five yards shy of Engram's team-leading total. In his three best games -- including this one -- Ridley has combined for 21 catches, 306 yards and one touchdown on 29 targets, but he has just 12 catches for 145 yards and one touchdown on 29 targets across five other games. He'll remain a low-floor, high-ceiling option in Week 10 against the 49ers following Jacksonville's Week 9 bye.

  • Limited to one catch in win

    Ridley rushed once for no gain and secured one of four targets for five yards in the Jaguars' 31-24 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Ridley's catch and yardage totals were season lows in an utterly forgettable night for the veteran speedster. Ridley opened the season with a stellar 8-101-1 line against the Colts -- his first game action since Oct. 2021 -- but outside of a seven-reception, 122-yard tally in Week 5 against the Bills in London, he's been quiet since, even with fellow receiver Zay Jones (knee) missing multiple games. Ridley inconsistent production but high ceiling makes him a relatively frustrating asset for…read more

  • Held in check in win

    Ridley brought in four of eight targets for 30 yards and rushed once for minus-4 yards in the Jaguars' 37-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ridley finished second on the team in receptions to Evan Engram and led the Jaguars in targets, but his yardage total left plenty to be desired. The speedy veteran had just compiled a season-best 122 yards in Week 6 against the Bills in London, so Sunday's downturn was especially disappointing. Ridley will aim to atone in a Week 7 road matchup against the Saints on Thursday night.

  • Leads receiving corps

    Ridley caught seven of eight targets for 122 yards and carried twice for 14 yards during Sunday's 25-20 win against the Bills.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old tied for the team lead in targets and led Jacksonville in both receptions and receiving yards as Trevor Lawrence passed for more than 300 yards for the first time this season. Ridley topped 100 receiving yards in the season opener but totaled just 110 yards over the subsequent three games, and his resurgence in production Sunday is a welcome sight after a few quiet performances.

  • Scores against former team

    Ridley caught both of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Ridley took advantage of busted coverage to haul in a 30-yard touchdown during the first quarter. Despite scoring against his old team, Ridley otherwise was largely shadowed by top Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, contributing toward a third straight game with three or fewer catches and 40 or fewer receiving yards. He'll strive to improve his volume in Week 5, when the Bills travel to London to face the Jags.

  • Quiet day in upset loss

    Ridley brought in three of seven targets for 40 yards in the Jaguars' 37-17 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ridley had about as uneven a day as the rest of the Jaguars' air attack, leading to his second straight underwhelming performance following an 8-101-1 line in Week 1. The veteran speedster has particularly had trouble with his efficiency in the last pair of contests, now having brought in just five of 15 targets in that span. The amount of Trevor Lawrence's attention that he's garnering is encouraging, however, and he'll aim to put together a resurgent effort across the pond in a Week 4 matchup…read more

  • Quiet in Week 2

    Ridley caught two of eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Ridley drew more defensive attention after topping 100 yards in his Jacksonville debut, and he was held in check this time while Christian Kirk led the team with 11 catches for 110 yards on 14 targets. Trevor Lawrence has thrown for just 457 yards through two games, so it's possible that Ridley and Kirk could be productive simultaneously once the talented third-year quarterback finds his groove. Doing so may not be easy in Week 3 against a Houston team that held Lawrence without a passing…read more

  • Huge performance in return

    Ridley caught eight of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Playing in his first NFL game since Oct. 2021, Ridley made an immediate impact as he caught four passes on the Jaguars' first scoring drive, including a nine-yard TD toss from Trevor Lawrence. The former Falcon ended up being Lawrence's top target, and Ridley doesn't seem to have lost a step at all despite his long layoff. Next up for Jacksonville is a Week 2 clash with a Kansas City defense that had trouble slowing down Amon-Ra St. Brown in a Week 1 loss to the Lions.

  • Caps off preseason in style

    Ridley brought in all three targets for 50 yards in the Jaguars' 31-18 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Ridley tied for the team lead in receptions while recording a pair of 11-yard grabs as well as a 28-yard catch that took the ball down to the Dolphins' three-yard line. The 28-year-old has impressed all summer after having missed nearly two full seasons due to a gambling-related suspension, and he appears poised to serve as an integral part of a deep Jaguars air attack beginning with an AFC South road matchup versus the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 10.

    Ridley caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Ridley made his first appearance in an NFL game since Week 7 of the 2021 season, back when he was still a member of the Atlanta Falcons. The 2018 first-round pick looked refreshed after the lengthy, non-injury related layoff, catching both targets from his new quarterback Trevor Lawrence before exiting with the rest of the starters. Ridley's talent is unquestioned, and he appears to be happy in Jacksonville, so the 26-year-old could be in store for a nice bounce-back season. The last time…read more

  • Toe issue related to cleats

    The Jaguars relayed that the toe issue that bothered Ridley earlier Wednesday was caused by the cleats the wideout had been wearing, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: DiRocco notes that Ridley eventually switched cleats, which is expected to resolve the issue. Though the wideout had been in for limited work at Wednesday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union relays that Ridley was able to join team drills. Ridley, who didn't play last season while serving a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy, has been "one of the top players of camp thus far" for the Jaguars, according to Harvey.

"He'll be fine," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said. "We were sort of cautionary with [Ridley on Tuesday]. He'll be back out there and we'll just monitor him and limit the amount of running that he'll do."

    Analysis: Ridley missed portions of Tuesday's practice and could be on a similar schedule Wednesday. The wideout has drawn positive reviews early on in training camp after he missed the entire 2022 season while serving a gambling-related suspension.

    Ridley (undisclosed) sat out portions of Tuesday's practice, the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Channel 4 Jacksonville, Ridley stopped participating in drills midway through Tuesday's session and headed over to sit in the team's cooling tent. Though the wideout subsequently rejoined his teammates, Ridley didn't return to the field. With that in mind, it appears as though the 28-year-old's limitations weren't injury related, and chances are he'll be back in action the next time the Jaguars take the field.

    Ridley is making a strong impression on teammates at training camp and told reporters he hasn't lost a step, John Oehser of Jaguars.com reports.

    Analysis: A slew of Jacksonville beat writers have praised Ridley's speed and route running, further fueling the considerable hype that's been building since the Falcons traded him to the Jaguars last fall. He's 21 months removed from his last NFL appearance, but it's easy enough to see why it's become increasingly rare for Ridley to make it past the third round of fantasy drafts. He's 28 years old, topped 1,300 yards in his last full season and now will catch passes from third-year pro Trevor Lawrence.

"He hasn't played in a while plus the injury, so we're just trying to be careful with him," Pederson said. "But he's doing a great job. He's picking up the offense well."

    Analysis: The 28-year-old was suspended for the entire 2022 campaign for violating the league's gambling policy and played in only five games during 2021 in order to focus on his mental health, but he now appears to be in top shape after being acquired by Jacksonville in November. Pederson also indicated Ridley has been active in the offseason program, which should put him in a strong position to establish an on-field rapport with quarterback Trevor Lawrence ahead of training camp.

He was acquired by the Jaguars last season at the trade deadline and gets a fresh start in Jacksonville, where he'll likely fill the role vacated by Marvin Jones, who is a free agent this month.

    The Jaguars acquired Ridley (suspension) from the Falcons on Tuesday in exchange for conditional 2023 and 2024 draft picks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jacksonville's decision to trade for Ridley is more of a long-term play, as the 27-year-old receiver is suspended through at least the 2022 season.

Garafolo even went on to say it's possible both sides could mutually seek a trade this offseason, though that's by no means something that has been confirmed by either party.

Whether Ridley returns to action when first eligible Week 12 is uncertain, as the Falcons intend to give him as much time off as he needs after he acknowledged in a post on his personal Twitter account Oct. 31 that he's taking a break from football to focus on his mental well-being.

Since then, the Falcons had a bye week, and Ridley returned to action last Sunday at Miami. But he was included on Atlanta's inactive list Sunday against the Panthers, again due to a personal issue.

  • Big volume again in loss

    Ridley caught seven of 13 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 34-30 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: The fourth-year receiver once again led the Falcons in targets and catches, but it was Cordarrelle Patterson who led the club in receiving yards. Ridley has seen double-digit targets in three straight games but his actual production has been a little disappointing, as Sunday's yardage was a season high and he has only one TD. Ridley will get a golden opportunity for a breakout in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London.

    Analysis: Ridley led the Falcons in receptions and targets, but besides a long gain of 20 yards, he mostly was a factor on underneath routes. Through three games, Atlanta's top wideout is yet to surpass 65 yards, but he's hauled in at least five passes each contest. After tying for fifth league-wide with 1,374 receiving yards last season, Ridley still hasn't enjoyed his breakout performance under new coach Arthur Smith, yet he remains a reliable option ahead of Week 4's matchup against Washington.

The Falcons' No. 1 wideout looked the part a bit more than during a pedestrian Week 1 effort, and he'll look to capitalize on a questionable Giants secondary in a Week 3 road battle.

Nevertheless, Ridley's final line has to be considered a fantasy disappointment in what was the Falcons' first game of the post-Julio Jones era.

Even if the Falcons ease him into team drills, he'll have plenty of time to ramp up for Week 1 against the Eagles (Sept. 12).

    Analysis: Atlanta likely didn't have to think too hard about whether to extend Ridley's rookie contract to a fifth year after he emerged as one of the NFL's top wideouts in 2020. Following a pair of promising campaigns to begin his career, Ridley catapulted to stardom last season, claiming second-team All-Pro honors after amassing 90 receptions for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns. Ridley and Julio Jones will remain locked in as the No. 1 and 2 options in some order in a strong Atlanta passing game that…read more

  • Catches eight passes in finale

    Ridley reeled in eight of his 12 targets for 52 yards, losing one fumble during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Ridley and Russell Gage (11 targets) were the clear focal points in the passing game during Atlanta's season finale, collectively engulfing over 56 percent of the team's targets. Ridley came back to earth in the yardage department after posting an absurd 525 receiving yards over his preceding four outings entering Sunday. However, the 26-year-old's eight receptions provided him with a respectable floor in PPR formats. He blew past previous career highs this season by totaling 90 receptions for…read more

  • Eclipses 100 yards yet again

    Ridley reeled in five of nine targets for 130 yards and lost seven yards on his lone rush attempt during Sunday's 17-14 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Ridley attracted four more targets than any other Falcon during Week 16, posting his fourth consecutive 100-yard receiving output in the process. The third-year wideout continued to produce gaudy numbers Sunday with Julio Jones (hamstring) inactive for a third straight contest, as he has averaged 139 receiving yards per game with two total touchdowns since Week 14. Ridley has attracted nine or more targets in six consecutive appearances, and he next draws a matchup against Tampa Bay to close…read more

  • Posts humongous Week 15 outing

    Ridley reeled in 10 of 14 targets for 163 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: On his 26th birthday, Ridley decided he would be the one handing out gifts. For those with stock in the Alabama product, he delivered a third consecutive 100-yard receiving outing and his seventh total on the season. With Julio Jones (hamstring) inactive for a second straight game, Ridley expectantly dominated the target share, collecting four more looks than the next-busiest pass catcher. Atlanta's Week 16 opponent, Kansas City, will aim to slow the electrifying wideout. The Chiefs have…read more

  • Ready for Sunday

    Ridley (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Ridley has dealt with the same foot injury for much of the season, remaining productive all the same. He should be fine to handle his usual large helping of snaps and targets this weekend, especially with fellow wideout Julio Jones (hamstring) being ruled out for another game.

    Ridley (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ridley maintained his activity level from Wednesday, as did Julio Jones (hamstring), who was unable to practice yet again. If Jones needs to sit out again Sunday against the Buccaneers, Ridley would be in line to lead the Falcons' receiving corps, assuming he's able to play through his foot issue. Since the team's Week 10 bye, Ridley has notched 24 catches (on 40 targets) for 372 yards and two touchdowns over the last four games.

    Analysis: Ridley was examined briefly by Falcons trainers during the team's Week 14 loss to the Chargers, but he still played 84 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to his second consecutive 100-yard effort. His appearance on the injury report to begin Week 15 suggests the foot issue was the root cause of his brief departure against the Chargers, so his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on.

    Analysis: Ridley was evaluated by trainers in the second half for a potential injury, but he quickly returned to continue his prolific afternoon. The third-year man had already made quite an impression through the first two quarters, reeling in a 39-yard TD strike from fellow wideout Russell Gage to kick off the scoring for Atlanta and racking up a total of 95 yards by halftime.

    Ridley collected five of 10 targets for 108 yards during Sunday's 21-16 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Ridley and Julio Jones each commanded 10 targets on the afternoon, but by recording four different receptions of 18-plus yards, the third-year man was able to edge out Jones for the team high in receiving yards. The 25-year-old has been a consistent high-floor option this season, with 90-plus yards or a touchdown in nine of his 11 appearances.

With Jones sidelined this past Sunday versus the Raiders, Ridley hauled in six of nine targets for 50 yards and a touchdown.

According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, interim coach Raheem Morris said that the third-year wideout will handle his usual amount of reps this week.

He exited briefly in the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury, but he was able to return two plays later.

    Ridley will take on a bigger role in the Falcons offense Sunday versus the Raiders with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley has been targeted 10 or more times in four games this season, and two of those occurred with Jones out of the lineup. In those contests -- Week 3 versus the Bears and Week 5 against the Panthers -- Ridley combined for 13 catches, 246 yards and no touchdowns on 23 targets. Facing the Raiders' 28th-ranked pass defense (273.6 yards per game) should be a boon for Ridley's Week 12 prospects.

The third-year receiver was inactive for Atlanta's win over the Broncos on Nov. 8, and he remained limited throughout the practice week entering Sunday.

    Analysis: Despite having his practice reps limited this week, Ridley avoided a designation on the final injury report. He should be ready for his usual role coming out of a bye week, hoping to pick up where he left off before he sprained his foot. Ridley is averaging 5.4 catches for 82.1 yards on 8.4 targets per game, with six touchdowns in eight appearances. It'll be a rarity for the Falcons to enter Sunday without any of Ridley, Julio Jones or Russell Gage listed as questionable/doubtful/out.

    Analysis: Ridley didn't practice this week due to a mid-foot sprain, earning a questionable designation for Week 9. His availability was subject to a pregame workout, after which the Falcons opted to give him the week off with a bye on tap.

    Ridley (foot) will go through a pregame workout to determine his availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but the Falcons aren't optimistic he'll play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was unable to practice this week due to the foot issue and is officially labeled questionable, but it appears he hasn't progressed much since the release of Friday's injury report. Ridley was limited to 23 snaps last week in Carolina due to the injury, and if he's unable to play Christian Blake may receive the spot start. The Falcons have their bye in Week 10, so Ridley would be afforded an extra week to recover should he sit out Sunday.

    Analysis: Ridley went down Thursday at Carolina, holding his left foot at the end of a catch. While he was able to walk off the field under his own power, he didn't return to the contest. An ensuing X-ray was returned negative, and an MRI also didn't "show much," so the wide receiver is considered day-to-day. With more time than normal to prepare for the Falcons' next game Nov. 8 against the Broncos, Ridley has a good chance to miss no more time due to injury.

It'll help to have 10 days between games after a Thursday contest, but Ridley nonetheless figures to show up on the injury report next week.

    Analysis: Both Ridley and fellow starting wideout Julio Jones (hamstring) were limited in the Falcons' second practice of Week 7, but neither player looks to be at major risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Lions. Jones' return from a one-game absence didn't prove too costly for Ridley in the Week 6 win over the Vikings. Though he was held under double-digit targets for only the second time all season, Ridley turned in another productive stat line (six receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown).

While Ridley was unable to extend his streak in that department, he did score for the first time since posting four combined TDs between Weeks 1 and 2.

    Analysis: Ridley has battled a number of lower-body injuries of late, with thigh and knee issues this week joining ankle and calf concerns from last week. After reeling off at least 100 receiving yards in each of the first three games of the season, he was blanked by the Packers this past Monday. On a positive note, Ridley managed to get in some reps Wednesday, while Julio Jones (hamstring) didn't practice at all. After Jones and Ridley, Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus are the next wide receivers up…read more

  • Blanked in catch department on MNF

    Ridley corralled none of his five targets during Monday night's 30-16 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The third-year wideout just missed a touchdown on Atlanta's penultimate drive of the night, as Matt Ryan left a ball slightly behind Ridley on a fourth-down end-zone heave with 3:44 to go, allowing Green Bay's Adrian Amos to knock the ball out of Ridley's grasp. The Packers were able to key in on the young star as Julio Jones exited the game near the end of the second quarter with an aggravated hamstring injury, holding Ridley to his first no-catch performance since his NFL debut in 2018.

  • Taking the field Monday

    Ridley (ankle) is listed as active Monday at Green Bay, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley emerged from Week 3 with an ankle injury that forced him to miss practice Thursday. That said, he was listed as a limited practice participant Friday and Saturday, with the expectation that he'd be available Monday. With confirmation that both he and Julio Jones (hamstring) are active, they'll aim to exploit a Packers defense that has yielded 8.5 yards per target and five touchdowns to wide receivers this season.

  • Ready for MNF

    Tom Pelissero of NFL Network confirms Ridley (ankle) and Julio Jones (hamstring) will play Monday night in Green Bay.

    Analysis: Things have been trending this direction since Friday when both Ridley and Jones were able to practice. FOX's Jay Glazer reported Sunday that the star wideouts would be able to play, and we now get confirmation from Pelissero. Even if he's not quite at 100 percent strength, Ridley has shown more than enough to warrant a spot in all fantasy lineups.

  • Will play Monday night

    Ridley (ankle/calf) will play Monday night, according to Fox's Jay Glazer on the network's pregame show.

    Analysis: Glazer said that he spoke to Falcons coach Dan Quinn, who confirmed that Ridley will play, as will Julio Jones. Quinn further elaborated that both might sit out occasionally to 'protect them from themselves,' but both should be starting.

  • Trending in right direction

    Ridley (ankle/calf) remains questionable but is trending toward playing Monday against Green Bay, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley missed Thursday's practice due to an ankle issue and is dealing with a calf problem as well, though neither issue is apparently too serious. The Falcons will have plenty of question marks at receiver heading into their Monday night contest, as Julio Jones (hamstring) is similarly questionable but trending toward playing.

  • Limited in practice Friday

    Ridley (ankle/calf) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley didn't practice in any capacity Thursday, so Friday's limited session represents a tangible step in the right direction. It looks as though Julio Jones (hamstring) is trending in the right direction, and Russell Gage (concussion) was a full participant in practice, so the Falcons still have a shot at fielding a full receiving corps during Monday's contest in Green Bay. Ridley will have one more chance to increase his level of practice activity before the Falcons assign him an injury…read more

  • Returns to practice

    Ridley (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley was held out Thursday, but there hasn't been any suggestion his ankle injury is serious, and he'll have an extra day to prepare before the Falcons face the Packers on Monday. He's top five in a slew of key receiving stats, including yards (349, 2nd), touchdowns (four, t-1st) and air yards (559, 1st).

  • Sits out practice with ankle injury

    Ridley didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley was one of seven starters to sit out the Falcons' first Week 4 practice coming off Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bears. In that contest, Ridley served as Atlanta's No. 1 wideout while Julio Jones (hamstring) was sidelined, finishing with five receptions for 110 yards on 13 targets. Given that Jones was a limited participant Thursday, he looks to be ahead of Ridley health-wise heading into a Monday night matchup with the Packers. Ridley will still have two more opportunities to practice this…read more

  • Hits century mark again

    Ridley caught five of his 13 targets for a total of 110 receiving yards during Sunday's 30-26 loss to Chicago. He also registered seven yards on his lone rush attempt.

    Analysis: As Julio Jones sat with a left hamstring strain, Ridley dominated the target share, attracting more than double the targets of Atlanta's No. 2 option, Olamide Zaccheaus (six). Had the third-year receiver been able to register a touchdown Sunday, he would have joined Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Jerry Rice and Dwight Clark as the only players in NFL history to start a season with three straight 100-yard, one-TD games. Safe to say, Ridley is red-hot heading into a Week 4 matchup against a Packers…read more

  • Extends hot start to 2020

    Ridley caught seven of a team-high 10 targets, collecting 109 receiving yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 40-39 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: The Alabama product is enjoying a prolific start to the 2020 campaign, as he has now led the Falcons in targets over each of the team's first two outings of the year, picking up an outstanding 16 catches, 239 yards and four touchdowns in the process. Rampant touchdown production is nothing new for Ridley, as with two touchdowns Week 1 against the Seahawks, he tied Julio Jones for the most receiving TDs (19) through a player's first 30 games as a Falcon. Atlanta has put up an astronomical 90…read more

  • Explosive start to third year

    Ridley caught nine of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The third-year receiver from Alabama looked like a league-winner in Week 1, matching 15 percent of his 2019 receiving production during his 2020 debut against the Seahawks. Ridley was red-hot to wrap up his second pro campaign last December, averaging 6.8 catches and 98.8 receiving yards per game with three total touchdowns Weeks 11 to 14 before suffering a season-ending abdomen injury. Operating within what looks to be a pass-heavy offense once again for Atlanta, Ridley will face a Cowboys…read more

  • Eyeing third-year breakout

    Ridley (abdomen) has been working out with Matt Ryan, who believes the young wideout "could explode" in his third pro season, AL.com's Mark Inabinett reports. "He's a guy I think could explode going into a year like this," Ryan said. "He's in phenomenal shape, he's been running great and I think his grasp of the offense and his mastery of our system is so much further along than it was last year."

    Analysis: Ridley missed the final three games of last season with an abdominal injury, but the estimated recovery timeline of only 3-to-4 weeks allowed for a healthy offseason. He piled up 395 yards and three TDs in his final four appearances last year, potentially setting the stage for a 2020 breakout. Ryan seems to be on board with the idea, noting that Ridley should benefit from his recent on-field workouts with the veteran quarterback and other teammates. Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter…read more

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Ridley (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley was knocked out of the Falcons' Week 14 win over the Panthers due to a lower abdominal injury, which is accompanied by a 3-to-4-week recovery timetable. With just three games left on the schedule, the team's hand has been forced, ending his second campaign. Despite playing three fewer games than his rookie season, Ridley posted a career-best 866 yards to go with seven touchdowns on 63 catches and 93 targets.

  • Should need short-term recovery

    Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Ridley would be shut down for the season with a lower abdominal injury, but the receiver is only expected to need around 3-to-4 weeks of recovery time, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ridley likely would have attempted to return in 2019 if the Falcons were still in the mix for a playoff spot, but with a 4-9 record heading into Week 15, Atlanta won't take any chances with him. Quinn suggested that Christian Blake and Olamide Zaccheaus would be the primary beneficiaries of added snaps while Ridley is out, according to Butt. Based on Ridley's recovery timeline, he should enjoy a normal offseason and be back to full strength when the Falcons reconvene for OTAs.

  • Out for the season

    Ridley (abdomen) indicated Monday that he's out for the season, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Ridley out of the mix, Julio Jones and Russell Gage will head the Falcons' receiving corps down the stretch, with Olamide Zaccheaus, Christian Blake and Justin Hardy all candidates to see added looks in the team's passing attack.

  • Ruled out of Sunday's game

    Ridley (abdomen) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Initially questionable to reenter the game due to discomfort in his abdomen, Ridley will finish the day with five receptions (on five targets) for 76 yards and one touchdown. Behind Julio Jones and Russell Gage, it's anyone's guess who will step up between Christian Blake, Justin Hardy and Olamide Zaccheaus.

  • Has abdominal injury

    Ridley experienced abdominal pain during Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure in the third quarter, Ridley had a team-leading five catches for 76 yards and one touchdown. If he's unable to return, his absence will open up reps for the likes of Russell Gage, Christian Blake, Justin Hardy and Olamide Zaccheaus behind top wide receiver Julio Jones.

  • Good to go

    Ridley (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Ridley was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, with no suggestion he was ever in danger of missing the Week 14 game. He will face added competition for targets with both Julio Jones (shoulder) and Austin Hooper (knee) back in the lineup.

  • Puts in limited session

    Ridley (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Like fellow starting wideout Julio Jones (shoulder), Ridley's practice reps were capped for the second day in a row, making the Falcons' final session of the week Friday important with regard to both players' statuses for Sunday's game versus Carolina. Considering Jones was inactive in the Falcons' 26-18 loss to New Orleans while Ridley hauled in eight balls for 91 yards in the contest, the latter receiver is probably at less risk of sitting out Week 14.

  • Tending to toe injury

    Ridley was limited by a toe injury during Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley is matching Julio Jones' (shoulder) activity level, but at least both wide receivers are participating Wednesday in some capacity, which helps their cases for suiting up on game day. Working as the top wideout in Jones' absence last Thursday against the Saints, Ridley hauled in eight of 10 targets for 91 yards.

  • Steps up in Jones' absence

    Ridley corralled eight of 10 targets for 91 receiving yards during Thursday's 26-18 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout has been electrifying over Atlanta's past three games, compiling 22 receptions for 319 yards and two touchdowns against the Panthers, Buccaneers and Saints. Mohamed Sanu's trade to New England and Austin Hooper's injury (knee-MCL) have led to an uptick in offensive opportunity for Ridley, but in Julio Jones' absence (shoulder) Thanksgiving night, the 24-year-old emerged as Atlanta's No. 1 option in the team's passing game.

  • Another sterling outing in Week 12

    Ridley caught six of 14 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-22 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout has provided rampant fantasy production over his past two games after falling into a brief mid-season slump, amassing 14 receptions for 225 yards and two touchdowns in outings against the Panthers and Buccaneers over the past two Sundays. While Ridley is riding a hot streak at the moment, he's been known to fade into the background certain weeks depending on the opponent and circumstance.

  • Booms in Week 11 win over Carolina

    Ridley caught all eight of his targets for 143 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Ridley tied Julio Jones for a team-high eight targets, providing the second-year receiver with his highest number of offensive opportunities since Week 5. Given that Ridley has averaged nearly 6.5 targets per game on the season, it's fair to say that workload has been less of a concern than yardage and scoring production. Since amassing 169 receiving yards and two touchdowns between Week 1 and 2, he had eclipsed 75 receiving yards just once over the ensuing seven outings. Despite his…read more

  • Peels off long run in Week 10 win

    Ridley caught three of five targets for 28 receiving yards and picked up 19 rushing yards on his lone carry during Sunday's 26-9 win against the Saints.

    Analysis: There are Sundays when Ridley booms, as well as Sundays when Ridley busts. Week 10 was an instance of the latter, as Ridley was held under 35 receiving yards with zero touchdowns for the fourth time over his past seven outings. Though he has been inconsistent for stretches of the season thus far, there is reason to believe he will soon see an increase in workload as result of Mohamed Sanu's trade to New England, as well as Austin Hooper's potential absence due to a knee injury suffered Sunday.…read more
