THE LATEST ROOKIE ARRIVAL
The Item: 2018 Panini XR Calvin Ridley Rookie Patch Auto Laundry Tag NFL shield 1/1
The Price: $999.99 Buy-It-Now
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This Atlanta Falcons rookie arrived big-time in a shootout with the New Orleans Saints last Sunday with seven catches for 146 yards and three touchdowns. That firmly put him on the radars for a few more collectors although many were probably already watching this first-round pick anyway. This brand is loaded with all kinds of nice cards like this one and he's got plenty of other high-end feeling cards from products without high-end prices. It's these prime cards that could be the most-volatile on the high-end if dominance continues from the rookie.

Sunday Superstars: Week 3 NFL icons include Calvin Ridley, Josh Allen, Alvin Kamara, Patrick Mahomes II & more
Simply put, Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley arrived on Sunday.
Sure, it was bound to be a low-defense, high-0ffense contest between the Falcons and the Saints but what was surprising was that this first-round pick out of Alabama was the go-to guy for Matt Ryan (374 yards, 5 TDs) seemingly all day long. He caught seven of eight passes that came his way for 146 yards and three touchdowns in a 43-37 overtime loss. Only one WR had a better week when it comes to yardage and nobody else had three TDs receiving or rushing. It wasn't a total surprise as he found the end zone last week -- but he had a completely silent debut in Week 1 that could have quieted some of the hype. >> Check out Calvin Ridley autos on eBay
Falcons fans have been used to a different receiver formerly of the Crimson Tide getting the job done in Julio Jones but Sunday's game from Ridley showed that there could be some amazing things to come this season and beyond -- both together or solo.
