Ridley just had one great game. Watkins has been through teams (Bills, Rams) that didn't know how to use him and seems to have finally landed on a squad that does. His chemistry with Mahomes is evident and going forward appears to improve with time. And while today there is rampant speculation that Ridley will overtake Julio as Atlanta's WR1, I don't see Julio Jones going quietly into the night. What we have in each are WR2s with good QBs, but Mahomes is younger and probably the more productive QB going forward and therefore I'll ride with his WR2 over Matt Ryan's. That said, I'd love to have both on my squad.
QBs: Patrick Mahomes, Trey Lance, Tua Tagovailoa
RB: Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon, Saquon Barkley, JK Dobbins, James Conner, Travis Etienne, Tony Pollard, Brian Robinson.
WR: Ja'Marr Chase, A.J. Brown, Deebo Samuel, Jaylen Waddle, Chris Godwin, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, Chris Olave, Odell Beckham, Josh Palmer
TE: George Kittle, T.J. Hockenson, Taysom Hill, Trey McBride, Isaiah Likely
PK: Nick Folk
(IDPs, start two per week per position):
DL: Danielle Hunter, Myles Garrett, Alex Highsmith, Aidan Hutchinson, Chase Young,
LB: Roquan Smith, C.J. Mosley, Logan Wilson, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoa
DB: Derwin James, Jeremy Chinn, Xavier McKinney, Jalen Pitre

* Ten team league started in 2014.
** 40 player roster, 30 Keepers per season.
*** Red denotes 2022 draft pickups.

While I can't speak for his time on the Rams, I can on the Bills as I live in WNY and am forced to watch the Bills regularly. The Bills did NOT use him incorrectly, he just couldn't stay on the field. He was always hurt, and even when he did play he was hurt. Watkins is an animal IF he can stay healthy, Ridley has had 1 1/2 solid games but looks like an immediate contributor on a solid offense. They should be valued pretty evenly, as they're both the #2 on their own teams (Hill being the main guy in KC).
12 TEAM SUPERFLEX, TE Premium, 25 man rosters
QB - | Rodgers | Herbert | Mills
RB - CMC | Chubb | Dobbins | Keaontay Ingram

I defer to you on your greater familiarity with what went down in Buffalo. Thanks for the grassroots view. But I still give the edge to Watkins because he's got the hottest young QB in the league, Patrick Mahomes, tossing to him and while Matt Ryan is serviceable, he is 33 years old. And yes I'd still love to have Ridley on my squad, too.

Yeah, at the end of the day I would be happy to have either one of them they both have their pros and cons. I'm extremely fortunate to have Mahomes in my one league, really interested to see how much longer he can keep up this insane level of play.

Kelce is the #2 on KC, or 1B. I voted Ridley
