Does Ridley have more value with sanu gone?

[phins1921 10]

I was thinking of trading for Ridley. Does his value go up now and will his targets rise as well?

[oldtimer 84]

I think both his targets and those of Hooper will increase.  Julio will likely stay the same as he's always their top guy. 

[AintNoStoppinMeNow 68]

Agree with oldtimer. As a Ridley owner this trade is fantastic news. Hopefully Ryan is back Week 10 at the absolute latest. 

[IGotWorms 4,063]

Yes. Whether he capitalizes on it is another question 

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

If the guy in my league who owns him wasn't such a jerk to deal with, I'd try to get him. 

[Skinny_Bastard 159]

Yes.

Surely there are better targets out there than the #42 PPR WR...?

I don’t think so. 

He wont be hurt by it either. 

But I don’t see him gaining more targets because of this move, maybe Freeman and Hooper might.

I drafted Hooper in every league I could get him (16 out of 20), because I could see the writing on the wall for him to be a top 5 TE this season (#6 last year, TE-whisperer Dirk Koetter back as his OC), but man, I didn't really expect him to be #1.  If this loss of Sanu boosts Hooper any more, he's going to be a juggernaut!

That was a nice pickup in the draft.  People were avoiding him for some reason, even though the latter half of last season he was starting to show how good he could be.  I have to think those that drafted OJ Howard, then defended him over the first 3/4 weeks of the season are not very happy.

Sanu avg 6 targets per game. 

Im sure two per teammates helps a little. 

[polecatt 489]

I don't see how it would hurt Ridley's cause. He's clearly their WR2 now.

Should at the very least make him a little less TD dependent

[FlyinHeadlock 459]

It helps him some. Probably a couple more targets. I don't see it Helping Hooper . As a Kelce owner having less talent at WR didn't help him at all. Hard to get open for him. 

[weepaws 3,417]

It doesn’t hurt.
