I kinda agree with what you're saying. Of course any person with eyes sees that we do indeed throw to more receivers than just Calvin Ridley. But, the point, I think, is that we don't really "USE" them in terms of game planning.
Ideally, IMO, the passing game should feature Ridley and feed him until teams take it away by putting two guys on him. When teams take Ridley away, we have other WRs who should be able to really hurt the defense. We should have more "counter punches" in the game plan to take advantage of the other young WRs.
Right now, Jalen's counter punch if the defense takes away Ridley is to run. If the coaches can make pulling the ball down and running his third read instead of his second, then the offense will really take off. And they probably are coaching him that way right now, but he's still rushing through the second read or not trusting it and just taking off.

I don't NECESSARILY think we should be targeting other WR's more. I think there are a couple of reasons why we don't (let's not open that can of worms). But, my point was really just that the OP doesn't really know if we have any "dawg" WR's, because we've barely seen anyone other than Ridley.
