Ridley is one of seven wide receivers who posted at least ten receiving touchdowns in 2018. With defenses focusing on Julio Jones, Ridley flourished as the secondary receiving option for Matt Ryan in the Falcons passing game.Despite this success, negative touchdown regression is likely for Ridley. Only Tyler Lockett and Mike Williams posted a higher TD rate that Ridley, with both of those players positing outlier touchdown rates of their own.While the touchdown rate for Ridley is not sustainable, an improvement on his catch rate and an increase in volume could improve his overall production. In addition, an injury to Jones could move Ridley from high-end WR3 status to low-end WR1 range.

 Calvin Ridley tweaks hamstring Thursday
WR expected to return to practice Saturday
By: Doug Orth | Thu Jul 25, 10:45 pm
|  | Early during Thursday’s practice at AT&T Atlanta Falcons Training Camp, second-year receiver Calvin Ridley finished running a curl route and immediately grabbed his hamstring. With a noticeable limp, Ridley began to walk around, his hand never leaving his hamstring. Coach Dan Quinn didn’t appear too concerned about Ridley’s health following practice, saying the receiver had a tight hamstring but that he expected him back for the next four-day block of practices, which begin Saturday.

FFToday's Take: It sounds like Ridley avoided anything major, but hamstring injuries early in camp will sometimes nag a player for the entire season if they don't get the proper time to heal. Expect Atlanta to use extreme caution and rest him if there is any hint of this being something more than a "tight" hamstring.
