I'm a big KA fan, but Rivers potentially leaving has me pretty concerned about any weapons in that offense. It's close with Ridley and would probably depend on roster construction for me.

If anything, Rivers leaving would be bad for a deep threat like Williams or possibly Henry (if he returns to the team). Allen is used in a more diverse way than any of them, so he can still be leaned on heavily even with a rookie.

I disagree on Henry, even notwithstanding the fact he could leave LAC. TE's with good hands are a Rookie QB's best friend... especially in this offense, which features so many playmakers capable of stressing the defense vertically (KA / Williams) and horizontally (the RB's)

There's a good reason Rivers was always looking at him - when this offense is clicking, there are a LOT of pieces to cover.

His skillset shouldn't be extremely prone to age regression either, because he wins with precise route running, not overwhelming athletiscm.

It's the off-season, so it could definitely be worse!

There was a recent article, that I thought I saw, that had Ridley & Jones as one of the top 5 WR duos in the NFL, but cannot seem to find it at the moment. :?

Appears I made a huge mistake trading him. Oh well, wide receiver production is still the easiest thing in fantasy to replace right now.

Red zone looks have been better than expected. The guy can get open. Great sign.

Well doesn't seem to be a need for anyone to sell OP on Ridley, Ridley is doing that himself, I was definitely not a huge Ridley fan so I'm here to eat crow.
