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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (calf) limped off from the team's practice on Wednesday while holding his right calf, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. Davenport speculates that it could simply be a cramp, but the severity and nature of the injury are unknown. Losing Ridley would be a major issue for the Titans' offense, which is already low on proven receiving talent. In 17 games for Tennessee in 2024, the 30-year-old recorded 64 catches for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns. Ridley is the unquestioned number one option for rookie quarterback Cam Ward. If he were to miss time, veterans Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson, as well as rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, would be in line for increased usage.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has reportedly been rookie quarterback Cam Ward's favorite target during Saturday's practice, with the two notably hooking up on a deep out route down the sideline. Ridley seems like the natural fit to lead Tennessee in receiving again in 2025 after collecting his second consecutive 1,000-yard season with a different team (Jacksonville). He could stand to get more work, however, with the news of fellow wideout Treylon Burks (shoulder) fracturing his collarbone on Saturday. Aside from tight end Chig Okonkwo, Ridley is the most tenured pass-catcher amongst the potential starters, with Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson acquired in free agency, and Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor selected in April's draft. The 30-year-old's week-to-week production could be up-and-down, but he is the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Titans' passing offense and a high-floor fantasy asset in the top 75 picks.

TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt writes that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley appears to be re-energized in his second season with the team with the addition of rookie first-round quarterback Cam Ward. Ridley has taken the first overall pick under his wing this offseason, and they have both formed a strong bond both on the field and off. For Tennessee's offense to take a step forward in 2025, the Titans will need the chemistry between Ward and Ridley to pay off after Ridley went for 64 catches, 1,017 yards and four touchdowns in his first year with the team in 2024. The 30-year-old is the clear WR1 and should continue to have a high target share, but his fantasy value will be directly impacted by how quickly Ward can adapt to the speed in the NFL. Ridley is ranked at RotoBaller a the No. 32 fantasy wideout.
Jul 12, 2025 1:52 PM EST
TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt writes that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley looks really bought in in his second season with the team. Wyatt says that Ridley looks more eager to work and embrace quarterback Cam Ward and the other rookies around him. In addition, he should benefit from having more skilled players around him in 2025. The 30-year-old wideout had his second straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024 and the third in his career, but he went from eight touchdowns in 2023 with Jacksonville to only four in Tennessee. There might be a little more competition for targets this year, but Ridley is still the unquestioned WR1, and he could benefit from Ward being under center instead of Will Levis. Ridley has a safe floor as a WR3/flex, but how successful he is in 2025 will ultimately come down to how consistent Ward can be in his rookie season.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is working on his chemistry with rookie first-round quarterback Cam Ward this offseason after failing to find much chemistry with QB Will Levis a year ago. Coaches assigned Ridley and Ward lockers next to each other, and their communication appears to be flowing on and off the field, according to the Nashville Post's John Glennon. "It's easy to relate to him for me. He's fun. He's easy to talk ball with. I just like him a lot," Ridley said. The 30-year-old pass-catcher is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and has topped 60 catches in five of his six NFL seasons. He finished tied for fifth with 19 catches of 20-plus yards in 2024, and Ward excelled on deep passes last year at Miami. It remains to be seen how good Ward will be in his first NFL season, but Ridley should once again have little competition for targets in Tennessee.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley managed his second solid performance in a row in Week 17, hauling in five receptions for 84 yards and running for seven more on one attempt in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was Ridley's first time leading his team in receiving yards since Week 14-;another matchup against Jacksonville. It was also his most in a game in his last five outings. Ridley still tied for second-most targets on Tennessee (six) with fellow WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, trailing behind tight end Chig Okonkwo yet again. However, after catching a touchdown last weekend, this is the best two-game stretch out of Ridley since the middle of the season. Next week, he's home against a Texans defense, allowing the fifth-most points to opposing fantasy wideouts this year.
Dec 29, 2024 8:49 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in three catches for 78 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The looks of these stats can be a bit deceiving. However, Ridley's 38-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter did a lot of the heavy lifting for his final numbers. He saw just five targets for the game-;which was second-most for Tennessee, but still an underwhelming amount for an offense's WR1. Nevertheless, it was Ridley's first time finding the end zone in six weeks, revitalizing some hope for fantasy managers. He's a WR2/WR3 for Week 17 as the Titans head to Jacksonville.
Dec 22, 2024 6:38 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley enters the Week 15 matchup against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals as the WR28 in half-PPR points through 14 weeks of the season. He's coming off a seven-catch, 59-yard performance in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he had 12 targets, just the second time all season he's seen double-digit looks. The efficiency has not been there (50.5% catch rate) in Tennessee's low-volume passing offense, which can make Ridley a very frustrating fantasy play. The 29-year-old is averaging 9.7 half-PPR points a game, which ranks 43rd among wideouts. The good news is he could have a boom week for fantasy managers on Sunday against a porous Bengals defense that has allowed 235.2 passing yards per game (sixth-most in the NFL). Ridley has opportunity, but he's also had fewer than 60 yards in three of his last four games. It's why he's a volatile WR2 for fantasy managers.
Dec 14, 2024 12:21 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley had just two catches for 45 yards on Sunday afternoon against the Washington Commanders. He was targeted seven times by Will Levis, who finished with a season-high 37 pass attempts. The Titans struggled to get much going overall on offense, but Ridley did make a nice sliding catch to set up their first touchdown just before halftime. However, it was a disappointing result for Ridley and the Titans this week, but they'll be in a good spot to bounce back at home against the Jaguars next week. Ridley remains the team's top option in the passing game and has drawn a huge target share since the DeAndre Hopkins trade. For Week 14, Ridley is a WR2 with WR1 upside.
Dec 1, 2024 8:05 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 13 on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Ridley was held out of practice on Wednesday. The 29-year-old will remain the favorite target for quarterback Will Levis yet again after catching five of his six targets for 93 yards in last week's upset win over the division-rival Houston Texans. In his first year in Tennessee, Ridley has a 41-634-3 line on 80 targets. He leads the Titans in catches, targets and receiving yards through 12 weeks and could be busy yet again in D.C. this weekend. The Commanders defense has been around middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, although their secondary has been a point of weakness for much of the year. Ridley should be considered a solid WR2 for fantasy managers.
Nov 29, 2024 6:04 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) and running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) both logged full practice sessions on Thursday afternoon, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley did not participate during Wednesday's practice, and seeing him return to full participation in just one day suggests that the injury was fairly minor. Spears was limited on Wednesday, and seeing him also participate in full is a positive sign for his status this weekend. However, Spears will need to pass the league's concussion protocol before suiting up. Ridley has averaged a strong 90.2 yards over his past five games, while Spears has typically been deployed as the No.2 option behind Tony Pollard. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ridley as a solid WR2, while Spears should be viewed as a low-end flex option.
Nov 28, 2024 5:08 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Ridley did not show any signs of an injury during last weekend's victory over the Houston Texans but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week in case he continues to sit out. Last weekend Ridley continued his impressive stretch as he eclipsed 80+ receiving yards for the third time in his past five games. During this stretch, the veteran wideout has averaged a strong 90.2 receiving yards per game which is a significant increase compared to the 30.5 yards he averaged per game during the first seven weeks of the season. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ridley as a solid WR2 heading into a Week 13 tilt against the Washington Commanders.
