Ridley's tough early schedule and X-receiver role make him a draft-day fade.

The source identifies Ridley as a bust to avoid, citing his role as Jacksonville's X receiver drawing difficult early-season matchups against elite cornerbacks including Denzel Ward, Patrick Surtain, Christian Gonzalez, DJ Turner, Quinyon Mitchell, Derek Stingley, and Sauce Gardner. Ridley averaged 4.4 targets per game, and the source recommends fading him at draft-day price, suggesting acquisition after a slow opening month or waiting for a potential trade away from Jacksonville as better paths to his value.
