Ridley finished as the WR27 in 2019 and WR22 in 2018. Ridley also missed 3 games in 2019. If you were to take his average FPPG in 2019 he would have finished as the WR12 last season.

Sanu was traded to the Patriots and Atlanta let Hooper walk in free agency. They did trade for Hayden Hurst. They also signed Laquon Treadwell, but didn't draft any skill players.
As you will see below, Ridley averaged 17.78 FPPG without Sanu in the lineup. That would have been good for 6th best in the league last season.
These are his splits with and without Austin Hooper and Sanu in the lineup. A small sample size, but 22.47 FPPG!?That would have put him behind only Michael Thomas last season.
Ridley saw 101 targets in 2019 and 92 in 2018. That number should increase this season with Sanu and Hooper gone. When Sanu was still on the team Ridley was seeing about as many targets as him, but was the 3rd option.
AJB, Cooper, Chris Godwin, DJ Moore, and DK Metcalf are all going ahead of him.
All are very talented, but if Ridley would have played all 16 games, at his average FPPG, only Cooper would have finished better than him.. by 3 points.

Don't let him fall to another owner in your upcoming draft.
