Both of Ridley's scores came on goal-line plunges, as the Patriots are mostly using him in short-yardage plays, mixing in Shane Vereen and Danny Woodhead on passing downs.
Fantasy Impact: With a huge halftime lead and a first-round bye all but guaranteed now, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pats take it easy on Ridley over the second half.
Ridley has now scored 12 touchdowns on the season, completing one of the biggest fantasy surprises of the season.
