Who Should I Start? Marcus Kemp or Calvin Ridley

Monday, August 28, 7:21 PM

The Washington Commanders released veteran wide receiver Marcus Kemp on Monday, according to a source. Kemp spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants last year, but didn't have a single target in three active contests with the Chiefs. In five seasons in the NFL, he has just four catches on eight targets for 42 yards in 47 games (zero starts). The 28-year-old is mostly an asset on special teams while also providing depth in the receiver room. He will now hope to catch on with another organization before the start of the 2023 regular season.

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.
