The NFL has announced that it has suspended Calvin Ridley for the entire 2022 season due to his gambling on NFL games in 2021. In a statement on Twitter, the Falcons say they became aware of an NFL investigation into Ridley’s wrongdoings on February 9.
Fantasy fans are all aware that Ridley missed all but five games a season ago due to what was being labeled as mental health issues. In his absence, rookie tight end Kyle Pitts led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. With Ridley now out for 2022, that scenario will likely remain similar, making Pitts a surefire top-six fantasy tight end.
