Calvin Ridley Week 3 Outlook - Packers at Titans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

After two games, Ridley is the WR16 with a rushing touchdown in Week 2, helping to pad his fantasy production. He has earned a 21.7% target share, a 60% air-yard share, and a 28.3% first-read share with 2.12 YPRR. Ridley hasn't seen a red zone or end zone target yet. Green Bay has utilized single high on 56.6% of their defensive snaps this year. Among 77 qualifying wide receivers, Ridley ranks 73rd in separation and 51st in route win rate against single high. Ridley could see shadow coverage from Jaire Alexander this week after he followed A.J. Brown on 69% of his routes in Week 1. Brown roasted Alexander with 108 receiving yards and a score. Green Bay didn't have him shadow Michael Pittman in Week 2, so it's up in the air if he does so this week. If Alexander doesn't follow Ridley, he'll run about 83% of his routes against Alexander (55.6% catch rate and 97.9 passer rating) and Eric Stokes (66.7% catch rate and 86.8 passer rating). Green Bay has allowed the sixth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers this season.
