Falcons' Calvin Ridley catches 2 touchdowns in Week 1 loss to Seahawks

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught 9 of 12 targets for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 25-38 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.

What It Means:

Ridley's 12 targets and 9 receptions were tied tops on the Falcons with both Julio Jones and Russell Gage. Ridley and the entire Falcons offense struggled in the first half but managed to produce in garbage time to salvage their days from a fantasy perspective. Both of Ridley's touchdowns came in the final 9:35 of the game, the first on an 18-yard reception and the second on a 7-yard completion with 0:33 left in the game. Next up for Ridley and the Falcons is a showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.

Ridley scored 29.4 FanDuel points in Week 1, the second-most of any wide receiver on the early slate, and 17.1 more than his Week 1 projection of 12.3 FanDuel points. Our models project Ridley for 11.8 FanDuel points against the Cowboys in Week 2.
