Julio Jones is a roadblock for the Calvin Ridley fantasy football hype train

The Calvin Ridley hype train is all gas and no brakes. His average draft position (ADP) has skyrocketed into the fourth round and climbs higher with each passing day. Ridley is an ascending and immensely talented player, but a top-15 WR price tag overlooks the elephant in the room — Julio Jones caps Ridley’s fantasy ceiling.

Jones is the NFL’s premier target hog, seeing a league-high 932 targets since 2014. Assuming Jones gets his usual 150 targets as Atlanta’s No. 1 option, how much meat will be left on the bone for Calvin Ridley to break out into an elite fantasy wide receiver in 2020?
