Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
Talented, experienced, dynamic are the words that come to mind when breaking down Ridder. He continues to improve, too, and now enters his senior year after a dominant 2020 in which he bumped his completion rate from 55.1 percent to 66.2 and his YPA from 6.7 to 8.2. Ridder was also maximized as a runner in the red zone with nine of his 12 rushing scores coming in that area. He gets the bulk of his pass-catchers back in the mix along with budding star running back Jerome Ford. Ridder has a high floor and potential to be among the best fantasy producers in the nation.
Ridder was a breakout star in 2018, accounting for 25 total touchdowns and 3,028 total yards in his first season as a starter. He returns to the helm of one of the more up-tempo offenses in the nation (76.2 plays per game) that leans heavily on the run. Ridder and running back Michael Warren II combine to make one of the nation’s most dangerous rushing tandems, and Warren’s presence helps loosen rushing lanes for Ridder. His biggest challenge will be finding a new top target after losing Kahlil Lewis, who had a 26 percent target share in 2018.
