Impact Ridley has done very little in his two seasons with the Bears, and although he's signed through the 2022 season, he'll need to show significant improvement before being considered as a reliable fantasy option.

Gets nod for Week 14 Ridley is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Ridley was a healthy scratch last Sunday against the Lions, but Week 14 will mark his fourth appearance of 2020. Darnell Mooney is slated to play against the Texans, however, Ridley may be in line for extra opportunities as a depth WR given that Mooney missed practice all week while attending to a personal matter.

Sitting down Week 13 Ridley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.
Impact Ridley has appeared in just three games this season, posting a combined four receptions for 39 yards. The 2019 fourth-round pick fielded 11 offensive snaps last Sunday night against the Packers, but Javon Wims' return to the lineup from a two-game suspension/one-game benching knocks Ridley down in the wide receiver pecking order.

Posts 16 yards in defeat Ridley caught two passes for 16 yards in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Ridley has now appeared in three straight games, but he's posted just four catches for 39 yards, and unless his role in the offense increases, he'll have minimal fantasy value.

First action of season Ridley caught two passes for 23 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Impact In his first action of the season, Ridley was targeted twice in a game that Nick Foles threw the football 52 times, but unless he sees his role in the offense grow drastically, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

Not suiting up Sunday Ridley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Impact Ridley will take a seat for the second straight game to begin the season after he played five games as a rookie in 2019. Barring injuries, it's unlikely that Ridley will make a significant impact from a fantasy perspective in his sophomore season. Darnell Mooney and Javon Wims will handle depth receiving duties Sunday.

Won't play in Week 1 Ridley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact The 2019 fourth-round pick suited up in only five games a rookie, totaling six receptions for 69 yards. Chicago was hoping Ridley might take a step forward in his sophomore season, but the fact that six other receivers are active ahead of him suggests he isn't close to cracking a meaningful role in the team's wideout rotation.

Competing for expanded role While Allen Robinson (ankle) has been sidelined, Ridley has been impressive while competing with Javon Wims,
Impact Ridley is showing signs of growth after a nondescript rookie season, as he's made some big plays while also showing the ability to thrive against zone defenses. For now, he's likely battling with Wims for the No. 4 spot behind Ted Ginn, as Wims has been making more big plays than Ridley during camp. If Ridley begins to climb the depth chart, he'll be a player to monitor for fantasy managers.
