Or… and hear me out. From a supposed #1 WR, we would like consistency. The ability to consistently beat man coverage. Showing up in big games. Throwing out the “well fantasy nerds are expecting blah blah blah” makes you look like you’re out of excuses for Ridley. 

Ridley has been fine but he’s sloppy. Doesn’t finish routes sometimes. Runs the wrong routes sometimes. He’s also 29. If the Jags are giving a WR a lot of money, I would rather give it to Higgins who’s 24, still hasn’t hit his ceiling and clearly has a connection with Trevor.

At this point I'm in the same camp. I was really clinging to Ridley breaking out and I though he had after back to back good weeks after SF, but it's the inconsistency that kills it for me. That miscommunication that led to Trevor's second INT was about the last straw for me. I can forgive some drops on tough catches, but I'm just about done barring a huge end/postseason push by him. When he's on, he's fantastic, but as the #1 he should be "on" way more than he's "off"
