Calvin Ridley Week 2 Outlook - Jets at Titans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Ridley was fed a monster market share in Week 1 and is likely to get similar usage in Week 2. Last week, he had a 21.9% target share, a 70.6% air-yard share (yes, you read that correctly), 1.56 YPRR, and a 28% first-read share. The problem is that with Levis struggling as badly as he did, it didn't matter much, as Ridley was the WR58 for Week 1. That's likely the case again for Week 2. Ridley will run about 83% of his routes against Sauce Gardner (2023: 56.9% catch rate and 76.5 passer rating) and D.J. Reed (2023: 61.4% catch rate and 85.1 passer rating). Last year the Jets allowed the fourth-lowest PPR points per target and the fewest receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.
