Calvin Ridley In A Good Bounce Back Spot vs. Steelers

Calvin Ridley In A Good Bounce Back Spot vs. Steelers

one year ago

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley will take on a vulnerable Pittsburgh Steelers secondary in Week 8. Ridley has been very boom-bust this year and lately he has been in the latter category with a season-low one-catch, five-yard performance in Week 7. He now sits at WR38 on the season with four weeks outside the top 50 at his position. The good news is that Ridley is capable of big performances, with two top-10 weeks sprinkled into those duds, and finds himself in a great matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers this week who rank 31st against opposing wide receivers. Not only this, but Pittsburgh also presses at one of the lowest rates in the league, something that Ridley has really struggled against this season. He may see a decent amount of rookie phenom Joey Porter, but Ridley should still be in for a nice bounce-back game in this one. Don't be afraid to stick him into your lineup.
