Declares for 2018 NFL Draft
Ridley will forgo his senior season at Alabama and enter the 2018 NFL Draft, Matt Zenitz of AL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This was rather expected as Ridley had very little left to prove at the collegiate level and is already on the older end of the spectrum for a receiving prospect at age 23. Ridley (6-1, 190) may not have the size to be a prototypical WR1 in an NFL offense, but everything else about his game suggests that he'll be a productive receiver at the next level. Not only is Ridley fast, but he's also a crafty route runner who knows where to find soft spots in the defense both before and after the catch. Considering how early it is in the draft process, any of the top three receiving prospects could be the first wideout taken based on team preference, but Ridley likely has the strongest case to be the first receiver off the board come April.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Ridley immediately established himself as the Tide's best receiver when he arrived on campus in 2015 and went on to record 89 receptions for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns as a freshman. His production slightly fell off last season while playing through injury, but 72 catches for 769 yards and seven touchdowns isn't too shabby. With the injury behind him, Ridley should see a box score more like his 2015 season, especially with ArDarius Stewart and O.J. Howard off to the NFL after the two combined for 99 catches for 1,459 yards and 11 touchdowns last year.
