Calvin Ridley May Be Undervalued at Current Redraft ADP

Wednesday, July 22, 11:11 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) battled through an injury-ravaged 2025 season, as hamstring and leg injuries limited him to just seven games. While the veteran wideout is expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026, his place on the Titans' wide receiver depth chart has changed following the team's offseason additions of wideouts Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson. Ridley is also entering his age-32 campaign, and the overall offensive environment in Tennessee remains questionable ahead of quarterback Cam Ward's second NFL season. However, Ridley was a productive player as recently as 2024, when he recorded 64 catches for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns on 120 targets across 17 games. While he should not be expected to provide the same production he once did at his peak, Ridley's draft-day cost in redraft leagues has plummeted all the way down to WR71. At that price, Ridley could be a late-round sleeper worth targeting.

Bub Means Put on Season-Ending Injured Reserve

Wednesday, August 13, 6:12 PM

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Bub Means (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Means suffered a serious lower-leg injury in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will now miss the entire 2025 season. Before his injury on Sunday, he caught one pass for a gain of 12 yards. It's definitely a blow to the Saints receiving corps after the 24-year-old fifth-rounder last year caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards and one touchdown in seven games (one start) in his rookie season. Means also missed the final nine games of his first year in the league with an ankle injury, so he has quickly developed an injury-prone label. Means will now rehab his leg in hopes of being ready for the start of the 2026 season.
