  • Cleared for Week 7

    Ridley (elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Detroit, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley never appeared to be in serious danger of missing the game, logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. He should be fine to handle his usual workload, averaging 9.5 targets and 91 receiving yards per game this year. The Lions have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers, including 186.2 yards and 1.2 TDs per game.

  • Limited in second straight practice

    The Falcons listed Ridley (elbow) as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    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).

  • Limited by elbow issue

    Ridley practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to an elbow issue, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ridley has played through a variety of injuries this season, but the elbow concern is a new one for the wideout. The injuries haven't stopped him from producing, as he ranks top five in the NFL in both receiving yards and touchdowns. He'll aim to get in a full session by week's end, at which point the Falcons may clarify his availability for Sunday's game versus the Lions.

  • Scores fifth TD of 2020

    Ridley corralled six of his seven targets for 61 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 40-23 win against Minnesota. He also contributed an eight-yard rush on the afternoon.

    Analysis: The third-year wideout entered Sunday as the only player in Falcons franchise history with 100-plus receiving yards in four of five outings to begin a season. 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. Julio Jones' return from a lingering hamstring issue may have reduced Ridley's target share slightly against the Vikings, though it did at least pull coverage away from the young receiver…read more

  • Huge day against Panthers

    Ridley corralled eight of 10 targets for 136 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: The third-year wideout accounted for over 60 percent of the Falcons' receiving yardage on the afternoon while garnering four more targets than any other player on the team. Ridley was held without a reception during a Week 4 Monday night loss to Green Bay, but otherwise he has racked up at least 109 receiving yards in each game. If Julio Jones (hamstring) is inactive for a second straight start Week 6 against the Vikings, Ridley will remain the clear No. 1 option in Atlanta's high-volume…read more

  • Clear top wideout for Week 5

    Ridley will serve as the Falcons' clear No. 1 receiver Sunday against the Panthers with Julio Jones (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Jones having only played one half in the Falcons' last two games due to the lingering hamstring injury, Ridley has already had some opportunities this season to serve as Matt Ryan's top option in the passing game. While Ridley was shut out across five targets in Monday's 30-16 loss to the Packers, the third-year wideout opened the season with three straight dazzling performances, racking up 21 receptions for 349 yards and four touchdowns on 35 targets over that stretch. Ridley could be in…read more

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Ridley (thigh/knee) remained limited at Friday's practice but doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley is good to go for Week 5, while teammate Julio Jones (hamstring) is expected to be a game-time decision after missing three straight practices. Either way, Ridley should be busy as he looks to bounce back from a zero-reception game Monday against the Packers, though his chances for double-digit targets certainly increase if Jones is inactive or limited. Even after last week's disaster, Ridley ranks eighth in the NFL in receiving yards (349), fifth in targets (10.0 per game) and first --…read more

  • Remains limited Thursday

    Ridley (thigh/knee) was limited at practice Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: During the media-access portion of the session, Ridley ran crisp routes and looked like himself, per McClure. Still, it wasn't deemed enough to be more than a limited participant for a second day in a row. Friday's injury report is poised to clarify the situation within the Falcons' receiving corps, which has yet to include Julio Jones (hamstring) in practice this week.

  • Running routes Thursday

    Ridley (thigh) looked good running routes during Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ridley's precise activity level won't be known until the Falcons release their second practice report of Week 5 prep, but there's a chance he bumps up from the LP that he received Wednesday. Meanwhile, Julio Jones (hamstring) wasn't present in the part of Thursday's session open to the media, so Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus could be in line for elevated workloads this weekend.

  • Limited to begin Week 5 prep

    Ridley (thigh/knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    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.

  • 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
