3 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley gets a good matchup against the Eagles to kick start his 2021 campaign. Ridley operated as a target hog for the Falcons in 2020, averaging 9.5 targets, 6.0 receptions, and 91.6 receiving yards per game, eclipsing the 100-yard mark eight times. The Alabama product is a candidate to lead the league in targets in 2021, considering his fellow pass-catchers are relatively unproven now that Julio Jones is out of town. A skilled route-runner, Ridley is perfectly capable of taking advantage of an Eagles secondary that allowed the 14th-most pass plays of 20 yards or more and the most of 40 yards or more. He should be penciled in as an elite WR1 play in all formats.--Tim Capurso
