Calvin Ridley Records 42 Yards Against Bills

Sunday, October 20, 8:52 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught three passes for 42 yards in the 34-10 blowout loss to Buffalo on Sunday. After the infamous eight-target, zero-catch game vs. Indy, Ridley was able to gain positive yardage in this one but only caught three of his nine targets, recording a couple of drops in the process. The nightmare stretch continues for Ridley who also had multiple deep shots come up empty from quarterback Mason Rudolph. All the chatter of the coaching staff wanting to get Ridley the ball more did not pan out. This could possibly be the least fantasy-friendly offense in the league right now and Ridley is no exception. Up next are the Detroit Lions in Week 8.

Brian Thomas Jr. Delivers Big Plays In Week 7 Victory

Monday, October 21, 12:20 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught all five of his targets for 89 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New England Patriots in London. He also added two rushing yards on two attempts. The rookie was the Jaguars' most productive pass-catcher as they recorded their second win in the last three weeks. Not only did he find the end zone, but he also delivered a 58-yard reception to put the Jaguars on the edge of the red zone late in the first half. Thomas should continue to be treated as a solid WR2 option in fantasy football, including next week when the Jaguars return stateside to face the Green Bay Packers.
