The Bears cut Ridley on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2019 fourth-round pick is perhaps best known to NFL fans as the younger brother of Falcons wideout Calvin Ridley. It's even possible the two could be reunited in the coming days, given Atlanta's poor depth at the position. Then again, Ridley couldn't win a spot on a Chicago team that has the same problem, seemingly losing out to Marquise Goodwin, Damiere Byrd and perhaps Dazz Newsome.

Ridley caught two passes for 12 yards in the Bears' 27-24 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ridley caught four passes this preseason in his attempt to make the regular-season roster, and he could find himself up against Rodney Adams, who had an impressive camp, for a spot.

Ridley caught one pass for 12 yards in Chicago's 41-15 loss to the Bills on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

For the second week in a row, Ridley caught one pass while working with the second-team offense, and he appears to be in a battle for a roster spot. Even though he's signed through 2022, he's coming off a 2020 season in which he played just 41 snaps, catching four passes for 39 yards.

Ridley is battling with Javon Wims, Rodney Adams and Chris Lacy for a roster spot, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ridley caught one pass for 17 yards but committed a false-start penalty on the following play while being on the field for just 20 snaps in the preseason opener. After being selected in the fourth round of the 2019 Draft, he's caught just 10 passes for 108 yards while being inactive for 22 of 32 games. Even if he makes the regular-season roster, he'll likely find it difficult to be on the field for a significant number of snaps unless the team suffers a number of injuries at wide receiver.

Ridley played just 41 offensive snaps in his second season with the Bears, catching four passes for 39 yards.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Ridley is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Ridley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Ridley caught two passes for 16 yards in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Ridley caught two passes for 23 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Ridley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

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.
