I picked up Calvin Ridley off waivers a few weeks back, but this puts me in a predicament.
I also have Julio Jones and cannot decide if I should risk playing them together.

My thinking is maybe one shows out more than the other and it's a wash or something else.

My other WRs:
Robert Woods @ Seattle
Kenny Golladay vs Packers
Tyler Boyd vs Miami


It's an 8 team league, waivers are deep.
The following are also available for pickup:
Alshon Jeffery vs Minnesota
Corey Davis @ Buffalo
Nelson Agholor vs Minn.
Sterling Shepard @ Carolina
Mike Williams vs Oakland

I would prefer Ridley since Pitt is 30th vs WRs and Miami is 10th for Boyd. Steelers/Falcons should be a track meet and I want all of that game I can get. That's my take at least.

It’s too early to look at team ranks but that just me

That's fair. Pitt's secondary is putrid, but it's not like I hate Boyd either. Just think the matchup with Pitt is too good.

Go for it but I like the guy averaging 6re 87ypg. Better floor built in here than a TD dependent guy

I agree with Lunatik.

Anytime Flaco could pass on you all day, the 30th ranking isnt far off. It is early in the season and Joe Haden hasnt played every game, but stats don`t lie and that is what we gauge this stuff on.

Flacco threw on them but only WR1 reaped benefits
Same with Cle Week1.
Goodwin TB had a decent game as WR2 but hardly what Boyd has been doing

Stats through 4 weeks can be misleading

I just don’t think Ridley is just yet a must start in an 8tm league especially if you have Julio too

He’s still getting WR3 snap shares & has been TD dependent

Boyd has certainly been very productive vs better competition than Ridley. We'll see. For me it comes down to the Steelers, but as I said I think they're both good plays. Be nice if he could play all 3.

Good point Lester.

My argument on that is

Cleveland doesn’t have a real #2. Lacking experience (Landry being #1)

Baltimore spread the ball around a good bit.

The Chiefs has 2 100 yard receivers and a 90yd TE as well as giving up 6TD’s in the air.

Tampa let everyone get a taste in that game as well. Evans 137yds, Godwin 74yds, the TE Howard 72 yds.

I don’t think Ridley is a must start. He is hot right now and you are correct, he is mostly TD dependent.

I have to agree again with Lunatik, about it being the matchup against the Steelers.

Miami has only allowed two WR to get over 90 yds on the season.
Enunwa 92 yds and Jordy Nelson 173 yds

I never let guys from the same team on “my” roster affect my judgement. 1 player is going to be better, you can imagine all the scenarios and game scripts you want but one of the 2 will be better. I’m not changing my judgement because I’m going against another guys QB or I have the #1wr on the same team. You going to make bad decisions if you’re making decisions based on this type of criteria. Which one do you think will be better this week straight up?

With that said I’d start Golladay
