BayRaider Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 This one is Ridley for me. Remember, this tournament isn't about who's had the better career. It's about who is better right now. A big part of why I'll be voting Ridley over Allen here, and Adams over Jones in the other thread. Ridley broke out last season. He has the WR1 toolbox, and everything you could possibly want in a WR. He has great Size, Burner Speed, Terrific Route Running, Terrific at the Catch Point, and he's strong. This guy is likely going to get 1200+ yards and 6+ TD's a year over the next 6 years. Allen has better route running, he's been Top 2-3 in that category his entire career, but he definitely does not have the toolbox that Ridley has. He also may have shown regression last year, but it could of also been Herbert being a Rookie as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Kind of feel like these are both similar players, both are going to win with route running proficiency and strong hands. Yet Calvin Ridley is younger and has more speed/quickness to offer. He doesn’t have the track record as Allen though so it makes it a little tougher to predict ascension vs decline. Gun to my head though, I’ll side with the age/upside of Ridley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I still don’t get why OBJ gets a pass despite having injuries that have made him a husk of his rookie-deal self, but Keenan Allen deals with back/hammy injuries in 2020, slightly dips, and now he’s a fringe-average #1 WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the first time you've suggested that Keenan Allen is in some sort of decline. I don't understand that. Was it because he missed 2 games? Nevertheless, Ridley is one of the most underrated in the NFL, but I'd rather have Allen on my team than Ridley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm a big Ridley fan but I have to lean towards Allen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 For the longest I’ve felt Keenan Allen was the most underrated WR in the game. Now it feels like Ridley has that title. It being 70/30 for Allen is shocking to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This is tough, but I probably take Keenan since he has the track record of getting it done as the X vs Ridley doing most his work in the slot iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
