Fantasy Football: 2018 Week 4 Waiver Wire Players To Add

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley

If you haven’t noticed Calvin Ridley’s enormous performance against the New Orleans Saints this past weekend, you might be living under a rock. Most leagues he will be snatched up, but there are plenty where he’s not. Ridley hauled in over 40 points for me this past week with his 146 yards and three touchdown performance.

I was surprised when I saw that he was only owned in half of the leagues. Ridley is a rookie out of Alabama that the Atlanta Falcons brought in to complement Julio Jones. His speed helps take the tops off defenses and got him some nice catches against the Saints on Sunday.

Defenses are still focusing all of their manpower on Julio Jones. All of that attention leaves Ridley in favorable one on one matchups which end up getting the defense torched as we saw this past weekend. He is not a one week wonder, but going to be a star this season opposite Jones.

There were high expectations coming out of the draft for Ridley when he was picked to go to Atlanta. He’s quickly bringing those expectations to the field, and I don’t see him slowing down at any point this season.
