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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Nov 27, 2024 4:49 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he sat out of the first practice of the week while being under the weather. Ridley is already feeling better and should be just fine to play this weekend against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday. The 29-year-old is Tennessee's unquestioned WR1 when healthy and he'll be looking to make a statement in the team's first meeting against the Texans in 2024. The matchup is a nice one, as the Texans defense is allowing the seventh-most half-PPR points per game (30.1) to receivers this season. Ridley should be treated as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in Week 12. Most of his production in his first year in Tennessee has come more recently, including his 143-yard performance and his two-touchdown day on Nov. 10.
Nov 21, 2024 5:22 PM EST
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) is out sick on Wednesday and won't practice, but he's expected to return to the field on Thursday. Ridley is a little under the weather as the team begins their preparations for Week 12 against the division-rival Houston Texans. The 29-year-old has plenty of time to get right before Sunday's contest and shouldn't have an issue playing this weekend. Ridley will likely see a lot of coverage from Texans cornerback Derek Stingley as he looks to improve on his 4-58-0 line in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As long as Ridley is active in Week 12, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex. He's just two weeks removed from catching five passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nov 20, 2024 1:42 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught four of six targets for 58 yards in a 10-point loss to Minnesota on Sunday. It was the first time in three weeks that Ridley didn't pull through for fantasy managers, as he had a modest output with only 7.8 half-PPR points. The former Falcon drew consistent double-teams, which allowed his teammate Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to break free for a few big plays, but the veteran was not able to continue his streak of double-digit fantasy points in Week 11. Ridley still tied for the team lead in targets with six, but he may have a tough time producing next week in a division-rivalry matchup with the Houston Texans.
Nov 17, 2024 10:07 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley will take on the Minnesota Vikings in a Week 11 matchup. It's been a roller coaster season for the 29-year old who has been the most negatively impacted by the Titans inept offense from a fantasy standpoint, ranking as the WR60 through the first seven weeks. After Hopkins was shipped off to Kansas City, Ridley has been an all-star fantasy asset as the WR2 since Week 8, highlighted by a two-touchdown performance last week against a tough Chargers defense. While Ridley always carries a fair bit of risk given the poor play of the Titans offense overall, he's become a must-start player after commanding 31 targets over the past three weeks. Minnesota is a formidable defensive unit, but are much more susceptible through the air, ranking as the 3rd-worst defense at limiting opposing WRs. Consider Ridley a risky WR2 with some upside this week.
Nov 15, 2024 6:30 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-17 defeat to Los Angeles. With quarterback Will Levis back in the lineup, Ridley did not miss a beat, enjoying his best performance of the season with almost 23 half-PPR points. The speedster got the scoring going early, beating his single coverage with ease and coasting into the end-zone on a perfect ball from Levis. Ridley dominated the attention from his quarterback overall, registering a 39% target share on the afternoon, the next closest Titan only drawing three looks. While it's been quite the roller coaster season thus far for the high-dollar offseason acquisition, Ridley has posted 20+ PPR points in two of his last three games, finally showing some signs of consistency which has turned him into a must-start fantasy asset. Up next is a meeting with the Minnesota Vikings at home, a team that is much easier to throw against than run on.
Nov 10, 2024 8:47 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10 NFL action. Ridley was a droppable fantasy asset not even three few weeks ago, but has bounced back with Mason Rudolph quarterbacking the Titans, posting 216 yards over the past two weeks. Will Levis has been named the starter for Week 10, and while Ridley has had success with Levis, it's been a lot more shaky with the Kentucky product dishing him the ball. Add in the fact that LA is fifth-best at stopping fantasy WRs and first in the league in total points allowed, and you have a potential disaster waiting for Ridley managers. He will always have the big play ability in his back pocket, but don't expect much from this Titans offense and Ridley that has been mostly ineffective this season, especially with Levis at the helm.
Nov 8, 2024 5:52 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught five of his eight targets for 73 yards in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots. With the Titans dealing DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs, Ridley had 10 receptions for 143 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions. While the 29-year-old wasn't as productive in Week 9, he still did enough to lead the way on the receiving end. With 15 grabs in the last two weeks, Ridley remains a must-start in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the wideout's outlook may not be as favorable if Will Levis (shoulder) returns to the lineup and Mason Rudolph heads back to the bench.
Nov 3, 2024 5:34 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (shoulder) is off the injury report and is expected to suit up on Sunday when the Titans face the New England Patriots. Ridley did not practice on Wednesday but was upgraded to full participation on Thursday. He sat out during Friday's practice for a non-injury reason. Ridley is coming off the best game of his season where he brought in ten of his 15 targets for 143 yards. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old to see a heavy dose of targets once again with DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City. This weekend he should be viewed as a high-end WR3 facing the New England Patriots who have allowed the 19th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
Nov 1, 2024 4:33 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (shoulder) has been upgraded to full during Thursday's practice. Ridley didn't practice to open the week, but it appears that might've been for rest purposes. He's back to being a full participant following a 10-catch performance last week. The trade of DeAndre Hopkins as made Ridley the primary focus in the receiving game. He'll draw a tough matchup against the New England Patriots secondary in Week 9. Ridley has enough upside to be considered a low-end WR2 in PPR formats this weekend.
Oct 31, 2024 6:44 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (shoulder) and running back Tony Pollard (foot) were both listed as non-participants on the team's Wednesday practice report. It's an interesting development, as neither player looked hampered by an injury in Tennessee's 52-14 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Pollard (82%) and Ridley (79%) were both on the field for their typical allotment of snaps on Sunday, so maybe we can chalk it up as a veteran's day of rest. Still, the DNP designation is slightly concerning. With the Titans hosting the New England Patriots in Week 9, the duo's practice participation over the next two days will be telling of their Sunday status. Considering Pollard has been solid all season, and Ridley is coming off his breakout game in Week 8 -- fantasy managers will want to monitor their progress ahead of Week 9.
Oct 30, 2024 10:14 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught ten passes on a season-high 15 targets for 143 yards in the 52-14 loss to Detroit on Sunday. The squeaky wheel got the grease in this one as Ridley finally broke through with a huge performance in his seventh game as a Titan. It was abundantly clear that the game plan was to hyper-target Ridley, especially with DeAndre Hopkins gone, and it paid off in a big way for those that played the speedster. He was in-sync with quarterback Mason Rudolph from the jump, putting up hauling in passes of 26 and 47 yards in the first quarter that helped him reach the century mark in that period. While the rest of the afternoon was relatively quiet, fantasy managers can only rejoice when seeing a performance like this from Ridley who has been quite a let down through the first part of the 2024 season. Up next is a Week 9 intra-conference clash with the New England Patriots in Nashville.
Oct 27, 2024 8:50 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the Detroit Lions in Week 8 NFL action on Sunday. Ridley missed two practices this week but logged a full session on Friday, which helped him avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend. Him and DeAndre Hopkins have split games of being the "alpha" receiver in this offense in terms of target share, but now the latter is now off to join forces with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after being traded this past week. That makes Ridley the clear top option in this passing attack, but he has shown poor chemistry with both Titans quarterbacks to date. It is unclear which signal caller will get the start in Detroit, but regardless of who it is, Ridley would be the ultimate boom-bust play facing a Detroit secondary that concedes the fifth-most points to fantasy WRs on the year. Matchup, game script, and opportunity shift are all looking positive for Ridley in this one, but even with those aligned in the past, he has let fantasy managers down. Ridley is a risky WR3 for the upcoming matchup in Detroit.
Oct 25, 2024 7:07 PM EST
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) is off the injury report and will suit up on Sunday when the Titans face the Detroit Lions. Ridley did not participate during Wednesday's and Thursday's practice but was able to return in full on Friday. Even though Ridley has struggled through the first half of the season fantasy managers should view Ridley as a WR3 with upside this weekend. Ridley should see the vast majority of targets as DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Kansas City and now stands alone at the top of depth chart. In addition, Detroit has surrendered the 31st-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
