Second-year wide receiver breakout candidates

As a rookie in 2018, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley showcased his sweet feet while racking up 821 yards receiving with 10 touchdown grabs. That was good for 142.8 fantasy points in non-PPR scoring (206.8 in PPR). However, as Ridley transitions into his second year in the league, how should managers view his fantasy ceiling in the Atlanta offense under new coordinator Dirk Koetter?

Today, let's focus on five second-year wideouts who flashed some real fantasy potential in 2018. Using the 2019 projections from ESPN's Mike Clay, here's how I grade Ridley, DJ Moore, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk and Anthony Miller heading into the new season, along with my current non-PPR rankings for each player.
