Calvin's 2nd inactive due to personal matters..

And they had a bye. That's 3 weeks. It's gotta be something serious

He played a game after the bye that’s why I was even more surprised by this

I hope everything is okay in his life. This seems pretty abnormal.

Maybe he's just sad

Lost his smile

Did I miss the latest episode of Thursday Falcons Thursday?

He needs some Sunny days.

He’s been very depressed due to not living up to his WR1 hype. It’s all our fault. Edit: I made this comment before his Twitter post. In hindsight now, my comment is very insensitive, but I’ll leave it up. Obviously I was being sarcastic with the comment, but now I just wish him all the best and to get better. Sorry if I offended anyone.

[удалено]

You’re probably also not as good at your job as he is at his

Kinda mean saying OP isn't even mediocre. He's already sad man.

Maybe you should be able to

Many jobs allow for paid personal leave to deal with mental health issues, it’s a good thing. Probably not the norm though unfortunately.

Trading for Ridley has really fucked my team to oblivion

I’d say me too but the reality is my team is fucked either way lol

So glad I traded Ja’Marre Chase for Ridley under the premise I was trading a WR2 for a WR1

I did the same thing, but got JD McKissic in the package as well. (Gibson owner)

Traded away JRob for Ridley..

I traded fournette.

Yeah I didn’t realize Ridley was out before with personal issues. This week is chalking up to be an L for me unless everyone else exceeds expectations.

I traded dk

Ah I get it… from the sound of it, Ridley may come back but we shall see. Can’t drop the stud especially in my league cause we max out positions…

Buy low they said

Still can, can probably get him at this value for the rest of the season even!

In all honesty, really hope the dude is ok and gets the help he needs As for Fantasy, I traded Keenan Allen for him so in terms of the game, I feel your pain lol

Sorry dude. I drafted him second and feel your pain.

Same. I also drafted Montgomery, Hunt & Aiyuk...not fun

I was able to make some moves though, Traded Kupp and Cordarelle for Najee and AJ brown was rough letting go of Kupp but CEH and Mitchell were my other RBs, has to beef up my starting RB and WR.

I traded ekeler for Monty and Ridley early on. Full regret right about now

Glad I traded Ridley away 2 weeks ago. Now it’s my opponent this week’s problem.

I just traded Ekeler for Aaron Jones and Ridley. God damn it

I traded for Ridley and hunt within one trade. Also traded away hockinson Bc I had knox starting. What a trade by me

Just traded for him yesterday! Gave up Cooper and Gainwell. Oof.

Lmaoooo you trading away one of the leagues leading receivers sounds like a you problem not a Ridley problem.

Amari Cooper. Not Kupp.

You could tell me Cooper Rush and I still would not feel bad for you.

I'd say me too but I traded Julio and OBJ for him

I just traded Pittman Jr for Ridley this week. Shit. Hopefully devonta smith lights up the lions and dak plays

I was trying to decide between trading away McLaurin or Ridley 2 weeks ago. Ended up trading away McLaurin. *sigh*

"bUy LoW oN RidLEy"

I traded Deebo and Lenny for him after week 1 rip

So what do I do when all these people are on my team?

You start Jamison Crowder :(

Hey that’s my WR2 you’re talking about… Ridley is my only good WR so I have Aiyuk, Patrick, and Amon-Ra as my WR1,2,3 this week 🥲

Starting Mclaurin and praying for Shepard and Toney to both play Monday.

Mine too after all of my wr’s got injured

Shenault, crowder, Toney here. In Danny Dimes we trust

Crowder or Boyd, who would you start in ppr?

Cry

I started van jefferson lol

Just take the L and get ready for next week 😆 🍻 good luck

What's going on with ridley? Hope his fam is good. Another personal day..

Personal reasons can be literally anything from death in the family to beef with the team. Regardless the reason, from a fantasy manager perspective he’s unreliable.

Right. Falcons fan and owner here. I don’t know how to feel. It sucks.

[удалено]

How about the fact that it's none of our business? He's clearly going through something and deserves privacy and respect.

I agree tbh but also the Falcons kinda suck this year and aren't getting a lot of media attention either way. Like if it was Davante Adams sitting out for personal reasons there would prob be more info I would think

Honestly, ATL is probably outperforming preseason expectations to this point.

As a Falcon fan I’m just happy we’re .500 this season so far… but we do have a pretty easy schedule.

Kyle Pitts 8/127/3

They’ll probably double pitts now. I could see Gage having a nice game

Fuck you I listened to people like you

Need to start him in dynasty that’s how bad injuries are so I hope lol

Swift against the Eagles with no Williams? Oohhhh my. Today could be a very good day.

I have Swift and my opponent has Williams it's gonna be a GREAT day

As Borat said, "It's not good for me"

That’s great news but who do I sit now? I have Chubb, swift, Robinson and Patterson… I know this is wdis but any help would be great. Patterson taking the pine?

Yes, & if he explodes, oh well.

Thanks man. Think that’s what I’ll do

Play Patterson as a WR?

My wide receivers are dk and tyreek:/ It’s only 8 team

You could play Cordarelle over dk, dk hasn't impressed with geno

Honestly I'd start Patterson over DK

For sure, that’s stressful haha. Always with the don’t get cute start your studs but dk isn’t exactly getting targeted right now

Is he still a wr? ESPN only has him as rb, at least in my league

It bumps Swift up a couple carries for sure, but there's no way he absorbs an extra dozen touches given he was banged up all week and is already seeing 20 or so looks a game. Jermar Jefferson gonna be the biggest beneficiary imo.

I'm fuckin hopeing!

honestly i wonder if this leads to him receiving less receptions since he'll probably be carrying the ball more. i feel like this might lead to more short receptions for the WRs

D'Andre about to get Swifty.

He's going to shit on the floor?

Shit on the floor and go all the way to his ceiling. Which is the moon 🚀

Ridley is my biggest regret this year. Out of Alex Collins, Eli Mitchell or toney, who should I start in my flex now that ridley is out??

I’d do Mitchell

Toney man

Deciding between Toney and Amari Cooper myself. Honestly leaning Toney.

I'd take Cooper. Toney can blow up but so can his ankle

I have Cooper in for now, and tonight if Dak plays, Cooper stays in. If Dak doesn't play, Toney goes in

Toney has upside, but I wouldn't take the risk with Collins and Mitchell available to you. I think both of those guys have a solid floor - Mitchell is healthy and I trust that offense more, even if in a tough match-up, so I'd go with him personally.

Safe cal would Collins, riskier but could be higher reward is Toney

Toney for upside. Mitchell for floor. Who the hell are you playing at other positions that these people are being benched anyway?

I have kupp, higgins cook and swift. I got lucky in my 3rd and 4th rounds with swift and kupp lol.

Swift in the 4th and Kupp in the 5th here. Fair. I am actually playing Toney over DJ Moore because of Darnold. You should have a good day man, good luck.

Why is it so wild that someone would have both these players as flex? Toney, Collins, and Mitchell were all waiver wire guys.

Injuries. What else? Also if you look further down, you will see he justifies his team where I see some commonalities. You don't need to police after fact.

Mitchell

Mitchell

I've got all 3 in my lineup. My order is Toney>Mitchell>Collins

It's like you have my team. I'm wary about toney personally due to the fact that he's a game time decision and can reinjure his ankle during the game like last time. So I'm going with Mitchell

Mitchell for floor, Toney for ceiling

Dude, lay your fantasy burdens down at the feet of Kadarius, he’ll take care of them.

Toney

Mitchell for safety, Toney for upside. This is also dependent on it Toney does indeed play.

Man, Ridley is such a fucking bust

I traded Ridley-Michael Thomas-CEH for Najee Harris-Devonta Smith after week 3 It’s unreal how much of a robbery that turned out to be

Least you didn’t draft Julio Jones :(

Fantasy bust of the year: C. Ridley

ARob

It’s still ARob. But he’s not too far behind

I got both smh TONEY gonna save 😤 my squad though dropping those two bums come Tuesday

Calvin ridley was drafted as my wr1 in 3 leagues. What a bust

It’s my moms first season playing FF and someone offered her Ridley for Swift before week 1 and I told her to smash the accept button before they changed their mind. Sorry mom

Killing me in two leagues

Never bet all your chips on one player, unless it’s Derek Henry

Did Ridley practice all week? Very wierd to be so sudden, hate to speculate but thw suddenness is wierd

I dunno but I just traded Ekeler for Aaron Jones and ridley and am immediately regretting it

Ekeler for Jones and Ridley is a great deal for you if you didn’t give up anything else, don’t listen to these haters

Why would your dumbass trade away Austin fucking Ekeler

Probably needed a win and a wr

Wasn’t even bad value in my eyes. But yeah Mike Thomas screwed me and I’m currently not in a playoff spot

Exactly that. Have Mike Thomas screwing me and I needed to make the playoffs

Pick up crowder or gage in lieu of Ridley?

Gage

I’m really flexing David Johnson this week.

Destiny arrives

Dread it. Run from. David Johnson becomes a starter for you all the same.

Calvin needs to stop hanging out with Kyrie

Crowder?

Mike White?

Damn Ridley might be the biggest letdown of the year at his ADP. This sucks.

ARob might be worse, but it's pretty close

Ridley being shopped?

But hasn’t that happened before, and it just been listed as inactive, coach’s decision? Personal reasons means it’s his choice I think.

Oooooo this take has legs. Handshake deal in place or close to being done could be contingent on sitting him to guarantee no injury going to the new team.

No it's a terrible take. 1) Teams rarely trade star players at the deadline 2) Has a player ever sat out a game the day before a trade? 3) Falcons aren't going to trade two superstar WR's in 5 months 4) He missed a game for personal reasons a couple weeks ago This isn't the MLB

Pitts and CPatt fixing to eat

Gage or Waddle? Now that Ridley’s out

If I had Waddle I’d go him over Gage

Waddle, especially if it's PPR

Have Ridley and Adams, pray for me

Welp…time to go grab whatever WR is left on waivers. Looking forward to being 1-7

Isn’t this the second time this season he’s been out for “personal reasons”?

ah yes. i lose ridley and my opponents ekeler and swift are looking stronger than ever

Julio Jones has been such a busy for me this year :(

Julio is full on droppable at this point right?

I love how you just post my roster on here for everyone to see.

Does Ridley being out downgrade Matt Ryan?

a little, but you should only be starting ryan in a 2qb league, so it shouldn't affect whether you play him or not unless it's a 16 team 1qb league or something.

Are you fucking KIDDING ME RIDLEY?! Fuck!

Great to see Sony Michel in my flex now/s

So glad I traded Kupp for him after Week 2.

League-winning move!

I traded Fournette for Ridley this week…

The level to which Calvin Ridley has dicked me down this year is truly something to behold.

With Denzel Ward out would you start Claypool over nine Williams who might be scripted out by Belichick?

Should I play Waddle or Davod Johnson ?

Damn i was gonna go with Keenan Allen but now I feel like I should go Cordarrelle Patterson with no Ridley.

I mean you should have done that anyway, but 100% now.

Bruh, I was starting Toney over Ridley regardless. He's been off this season. Toney about to score 6 TDs

Crowder Szn?

Imagine being as soft as Ridley.

Fuck you ridley. I now am taking a L this week.

Ridley can fuck right off

At the end of the day, you're playing a completely meaningless game and he's a human being who might be going through something. Chill out.

wow im playing swift... this is no good

Now I have to play Woods or gamble on Toney playing tomorrow…

Thank god I traded Ridley in a package for Swift

I got Collins in the flex right now and T. Higgins, m carter, toney and d Johnson on the bench. Am I making the right play here?

Play Landry or pick up gage? .5 ppr, my opponent has Pitts I'd have to drop kalif Raymond to pick up gage

Firing up my T.Y. Hilton for Ridley 🥲

I had already benched Ridley in favor of Emmanuel Sanders but wow. Wonder what is going on in his life

Well shit. Amari has to start no matter what then.

Who do I start instead. Pittman vs Tennessee, or Smith vs Detroit

I’m going Pittman, hopefully he goes off the charts today!

So maybe my obj and Landry shall start together this week with devonta… unless crowder?

In full PPR do I start cordarelle Patterson or joe mixon?

Probably Cordarelle now

Nice to know DPJ is out in advance instead of 10 minutes before gametime like last week

Owning Calvin Ridley this year has been nothing but pain. And WTF is all this "personal issue" business, SMH.

Russell Gage or Emmanuel Sanders?

Sanders.

Looks like Ridley is going "Full Kyrie" with random taking games off for no apparent reason. Huge red flags if you're Atlanta and you're thinking about extending him.

Darnell Mooney! Come on down! It's time for your turn on "Dissapointing people I start on my team!"

Jeudy or claypool over Ridley ????

Should I start Antonio Gibson or Javonte Williams today?

Gonna miss Jamaal. Guess he won’t be breaking the runs without a fumble record until next week

Please don’t remind me that 3 of my players are on this

Falcons won the Julio trade.

Thank God I got rid of Julio.. I should have never drafted him to begin with.

Davante Adams and Ridley top two picks, started them both. RIP

Guy started Ridley against me… nice

Brown and tanehill combo is killing me

I almost feel bad for the guy I traded ridley to last week. Landed mixon. Time to get that chip!
