I definitely also thought the video didn't look good 😂 There is a couple others on Twitter of him running and I didn’t think it looked great. He looked to be slowing down very gingerly and even the cuts weren’t super crispy.. which is obviously expected when running routes for the first time with a foot sprain. I need him this week as much as anyone and I wish I didn’t think this.. but honestly if I am gauging his availability off those videos alone, I don’t think he’s going this week.

PackerBacker555 943 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yes that didn’t look good. He was fine getting off the line, when he planted the foot to cut into the route is when the problem occurs. He has a few days but didn’t look promising. he also could have run 25 routes before that particular video as well, we have no idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,326 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The good news at least is he's practicing and running routes, so this doesn't look like a Mixon situation. If not this week we should have him back soon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJ1223 1,849 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Even if he does play I think I'm gonna fade him. Typically I'm a pretty staunch "start your studs" guy, but I have a weird feeling about this one. Also helps that I can hedge and also start Julio on the same team.

First week off of a multi-week injury, especially without optimism around the recovery, is certainly a worth exception. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It just says his practice participation hasn't improved today (still limited) https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/falcons-injury-report-no-improvement-for-calvin-ridley-as-saints-game-nears Quote Falcons injury report: No improvement for Calvin Ridley as Saints game nears: Ridley remains limited in the Falcons' most recent injury report For the second straight day, Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley was able to practice in a limited fashion. Any participation for Ridley, who is dealing with a foot injury, should be viewed as a good sign. Ridley missed Atlanta's last game against Denver, and it appears there's a chance that's the only game he misses. Edited November 19, 2020 by b_23 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you—the lack of improvement is in terms of his official status and makes no comments whatsoever on the status of his foot injury itself. The fact that he’s limited again today is perfectly reasonable, as one potential outcome could have been that he was limited yesterday, his foot didn’t respond, and he’s out today or rehabbing. It’s basically non-news clickbait from Fantasy Pros (shocker). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,326 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I liked their opinion part of the post "The website alleges that any participation is viewed as a good sign" Yeah, allegedly practicing is better than not practicing. But that has not been proven or confirmed. Their guys must've gone to the same blurb writing school as Rotoworld's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ATL has no chance in NFC south, why rush back a guy who is likely the cornerstone of your office next few years. If he passes pre-game warm up, he's not likely a decoy. Always risk of re-injury, but I think you have to play him if he plays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tugginroot 971 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The MRI didn't even show anything IIRC, so this just has to be a pain management thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hear what you're saying but to me multi-week injury is more important/relevant to time than games missed when it comes to 'first-game-back-expectations' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pooskay 807 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just start him, and expect something in the range of 0-25 points. Case closed until after this week. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yanksman 3,781 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hes not even listed on the injury report. Stop overthinking this and start him. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
