Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Calvin Ridley

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had his best game of the young season on Thursday night against the New York Giants. The colorful tight end out of Iowa grabbed seven of his nine targets for 90 yards, helping pick up the offensive slack with receiver Brandon Aiyuk sidelined by injury. While fantasy managers are still waiting for Kittle's first touchdown, it was good to see Kittle beat projections after duds in the first two weeks. Next up for Kittle's 49ers is a home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals where he'll remain a TE1.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley had three receptions for 40 yards on seven targets in the loss to Houston this past weekend. It was the second week in a row the wideout failed to break a top-50 positional ranking, after finishing as WR6 in Week 1. Last week's struggles seemed to be more of a byproduct of the Jags offense as a whole, but this week Ridley shot himself in the foot with an NFL-high four drops, including one that would've been a touchdown in the first quarter. The former Alabama star was still second on the team in targets, so quarterback Trevor Lawrence continues to look his way, but he is rapidly sliding out of fantasy managers' good graces. Next week will be telling as to whether or not Ridley can be a trusted fantasy commodity this season, as the Jaguars take on the Falcons in London.
