Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley finally was able to have success on the field during last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley came into last week's game with three receptions for 57 yards over his last two games. The 30-year-old came out of nowhere and posted a huge performance in the win. Ridley hauled in five of his 10 targets for 131 yards, but was held out of the endzone. The hope is that Ridley and rookie quarterback Cam Ward continue building chemistry each week. Ridley has a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Fantasy managers should feel fine with plugging in Ridley as a WR3.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that the team has to "keep finding ways to use" wide receiver Calvin Ridley's skill set, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. "He played well for us down the stretch on Sunday, and we're going to need that to continue ... We protected well, too, which helped," Callahan added. After a quiet start to the season through four weeks that saw Ridley go over 50 yards just once in a single game with no touchdowns, he broke out in Sunday's upset win over the Arizona Cardinals for a 5-131-0 line on a season-high 10 targets. The 30-year-old still hasn't scored in 2025, but his Week 5 performance was a breath of fresh air for his fantasy managers. Hopefully, his down-the-field chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward continues to improve, but even if it does, there are going to be more frustrating outings. He'll have a good matchup to keep things going in a Week 6 contest against the one-win Las Vegas Raiders.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five of his 10 targets for 131 yards in Sunday's Week 5 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The veteran pass catcher finally got out of the rut that had plagued him for the first four weeks of the season. In fact, this Sunday, Ridley delivered his first double-digit fantasy performance (PPR) of 2025. While it's possible that a softer matchup against the Cardinals was the main reason for his breakout, the good news is that Tennessee takes on another subpar defense next week in Las Vegas. Ridley remains a solid WR3/flex option for the time being.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is officially active for his team's Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley practiced just once this week but will give it a go on Sunday. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start to the 2025 season with 10 catches for 141 yards and zero touchdowns on 24 targets through four games. Ridley profiles as a low-end flex option in three-wide receiver leagues in Week 5 against Arizona.
Oct 5, 2025 2:38 PM EST
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is trending toward playing this Sunday when his team takes on the Arizona Cardinals. Despite a questionable designation, two DNPs and a limited session on Friday, it appears that the veteran is on track to play in his Week 5 matchup. Ridley picked up knee and elbow injuries during Tennessee's loss to the Texans last weekend, which is why he played just 54% of the snaps. Even if he's active, it's unclear precisely how healthy he is, adding an extra variable into an already risky situation. The Cardinals are actually a decent matchup, yielding the fifth-most passing yards per contest (255.5). However, the 30-year-old's floor has been low with rookie QB Cam Ward, and fantasy managers can't trust him as anything more than a low-end flex option.
Oct 5, 2025 12:14 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is currently considered questionable for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley didn't practice for back-to-back days before getting in a limited practice session on Friday. When healthy, Ridley hasn't been much of a fantasy option anyway. Ridley has three receptions for 57 yards over the last two games. The Titans offense is a mess right now, so it's tough to trust anyone on this offense. If healthy, Ridley should be considered a low-end flex option for Week 5.
Oct 3, 2025 9:14 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) will be listed as questionable for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Brian Callahan. While the Titans have not yet publicized their Friday practice report, Ridley sat out both Wednesday and Thursday's practices with injuries to both his knee and elbow. Ridley saw his lightest workload of the season in a Week 4 loss to the Texans, and it has since been revealed that he was battling through those injuries during the game. Ridley is tied for the team target lead with rookie Elic Ayomanor. While the subpar looks they've been getting from fellow rookie Cam Ward have resulted in a catch rate right around 50% for both, should Ridley miss time, a consolidated target share for Ayomanor could make him the only Titans player worthy of a start this week against a rather generous Cardinals' pass defense.
Oct 3, 2025 2:30 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Ridley appears to be at risk of missing the team's Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start to the 2025 season, recording 10 catches for 141 yards on 24 targets. If Ridley is unable to play on Sunday, Titans wideouts Elic Ayomanor and Tyler Lockett could see an increased number of targets, while wide receivers Van Jefferson and Chimere Dike could see an uptick in snaps. Even if Ridley suits up, he's hard to trust as a fantasy starter given his questionable health status and lack of production so far.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) did not practice on Wednesday. Ridley has struggled to start the 2025 season, catching just 10 of 24 targets for 141 yards with no touchdowns, ranking as the WR73 in PPR formats. Head coach Brian Callahan revealed Ridley was battling through an in-game injury during last week's 26-0 loss to the Houston Texans, raising further concern about his availability. If Ridley is sidelined in Week 5, rookie Elic Ayomanor is expected to see a significant uptick in usage against the Arizona Cardinals. Regardless of his injury status, Ridley's early-season struggles and difficult circumstances in the Titans offense make him a clear sit in fantasy lineups this week.
Oct 1, 2025 11:34 PM EST
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver Calvin Ridley (undisclosed) was dealing with an undisclosed in-game injury on Sunday in the shutout loss to the Houston Texans and played through it, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley had played at least 86% of the offensive snaps through the first three weeks, but he played a season-low 54% of the snaps on Sunday because he wasn't 100% healthy. The 30-year-old veteran continued to be a disappointment for his fantasy managers, catching two of his three targets for 30 yards and no touchdowns. He has failed to exceed 30 yards in three of four games so far in 2025 and has caught just 10 passes for 141 yards and no scores on 24 targets so far this year. Ridley has not been efficient with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward and the rest of the Titans' offense struggling, and now he could be in danger of missing Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Sep 29, 2025 3:12 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley hasn't played well this season. Through the first three weeks, the wideout has only eight catches (21 targets) for 111 yards. He also hasn't scored a touchdown. To be fair, quarterback Cam Ward (ankle, calf) has played poorly, with the rookie throwing for 506 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while completing only 54.5% of his attempts. It's unknown how long it will take ward to find his footing at the professional level. However, as long as the signal-caller continues to struggle, Ridley may not be the best option for any fantasy lineup in Week 4 versus the Houston Texans and beyond. The risk will remain moving forward until Ward proves he can get it together.
Sep 26, 2025 11:22 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said that wide receiver Calvin Ridley is targeted more than any other receiver in practice and catches more balls than any player on the team, between JUGS work and targets in practice. Tolbert thinks more reps will get Ridley's confidence back after a tough start to the 2025 season. The 30-year-old veteran caught just one pass for 27 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and he has eight grabs on 21 targets for 111 scoreless yards through the first three weeks of 2025. The good news is that rookie quarterback Cameron Ward is targeting Ridley more than anyone else on the team, but it just hasn't resulted in much production so far. Ridley has struggled with drops, and it hasn't helped that the Titans have struggled to sustain drives. There could be more frustrating games as Ward finds his footing in the NFL. Ridley has become a boom/bust WR4/flex.
Sep 25, 2025 3:53 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley projects to carry a high-floor WR3 value in a Week 3 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Through the first two weeks of the season, the Titans have faced two tough defensive units and have struggled to find their footing on offense. In Week 1, Ridley lined up against the Denver secondary and caught just four of his eight targets for 27 yards. In Week 2, Ridley and the offense took a step forward, facing the Rams, catching three of his six targets for 56 yards. While rookie Elic Ayomanor has emerged as a strong No. 2 option in the passing attack, Ridley remains Cam Ward's go-to option. As a result, fantasy managers should view him as a high-floor WR3 in PPR leagues facing the Colts, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.
Sep 20, 2025 9:15 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley underwhelmed in Week 1 against cornerback Patrick Surtain II and the Denver Broncos defense, recording just four catches for 27 yards. On a positive note, Ridley led the Titans in targets (eight) and looks like the clear number one option in the passing game for Tennessee rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. Still, it could be a struggle again for Ridley in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams' defense dominated the Houston Texans' passing game in Week 1, holding Houston to 188 yards passing and shutting down star Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (three catches for 25 yards). Ridley should still see a heavy volume of targets on Sunday, but efficiency and end zone opportunities may be hard to come by. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2025 10:39 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is expected to have a strong season, but it could start off on a relatively sour note. Ridley faces the Denver Broncos on Sunday, which means he'll spend most of his time being covered by elite cornerback Patrick Surtain II. Last season, Surtain allowed just 1.15 fantasy points per target to opposing receivers, which ranked second-lowest in the NFL. As a team, the Broncos allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position, as well as the fewest touchdowns. While Ward will surely throw Ridley's way often, especially if the Titans are trailing, the odds of Ridley breaking off numerous big plays are severely reduced. For this week only, you can probably find a better WR3/FLEX option than Ridley.
Sep 6, 2025 9:12 AM EST
Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said the team will have to move wide receiver Calvin Ridley around on offense to help get him open, and that the other wideouts will have to win their one-on-one matchups this year. Despite dealing with subpar quarterback play in 2024 in his first year with the Titans, Ridley managed to post his second straight 1,000-yard season and third of his career on 64 receptions while scoring only four times in 17 games (14 starts). It was a slight step back from 2023, when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old veteran is the Titans' unquestioned WR1 yet again, but he doesn't have much help behind him and will be working with a rookie signal-caller in Cameron Ward. Fantasy managers can hang their hat on plenty of volume, but efficiency could once again be an issue.
Sep 2, 2025 12:33 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley says he's mentally stronger heading into his second year with the team after injuries and a mental-health journey, which included a gambling suspension. Ridley was suspended for the entire 2022 season while with the Atlanta Falcons after violating the league's gambling policy, and he also played through a broken foot in 2020. Since sitting out the entire 2022 campaign, Ridley has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Titans. Is it possible for Ridley to post a third straight 1,000-yard season in 2025. Well, the good news is that there still isn't much depth behind the 30-year-old in Tennessee's receiving corps, so volume is going to be a plus once again for those that draft him in fantasy. However, efficiency could once again be a problem while working with a rookie QB, making him a low-end WR2/high-end WR3.
Aug 29, 2025 12:13 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (undisclosed) is dealing with some undisclosed soreness and will sit out of training camp practice on Tuesday, according to Paul Kuharsky. Ridley should be back on the practice field at some point this week, but the Titans are just giving their star wideout a little rest for the final week before the regular season kicks off. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. The 30-year-old caught 64 of his 120 targets for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games (14 starts) in his first year in Tennessee last year. It was Ridley's second straight 1,000-yard season. While he will surely be the top aerial target again for the Titans in 2025, fantasy managers will want to temper expectations since he'll be working with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. Ridley is a volume-based WR3/flex for fantasy.
Aug 19, 2025 12:09 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley got off to a promising start with his new quarterback, rookie No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, in a 29-7 preseason-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. Ridley hauled in all three of his targets from Ward for 50 yards, including a game-high 27-yarder. The 30-year-old is heading into his second season with the Titans and looking for a third straight 1,000-yard campaign. Ridley racked up 1,017 yards and four touchdowns on 64 catches (120 targets) last season despite having to work with the less-than-stellar quarterback duo of Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. Ward should provide an upgrade over those two (albeit with some growing pains), and with the Titans lacking other high-end pass-catching options, Ridley will draw plenty of looks from the team's new signal-caller. RotoBaller has Ridley ranked as WR26 going into the season.
Aug 10, 2025 11:52 AM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (calf) will sit out Friday's practice. According to head coach Ben Callahan, this is a scheduled maintenance day for Ridley. The 30-year-old exited Wednesday's practice early after experiencing cramps in his right calf and will get Friday off to rest. The buzz around Tennessee is that Ridley has had a strong start to camp and has been building a natural chemistry with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward since the first practices of Spring. Ridley is the unquestioned alpha in the Titans' receiver room, and he led the league in unrealized air yards last season while catching passes from Will Levis. If he can continue to earn the trust of his young QB and the Titans' passing game finds any semblance of rhythm this year, Ridley represents sneaky good value in the middle rounds in upcoming fantasy drafts.
