Calvin Ridley Comes Back to Uncertain Role

Thursday, April 2, 7:48 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley signed a restructured deal to return for the 2026 season, but his role will look different this year. Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor are both expected to be significantly more involved, and the Titans also signed Wan'Dale Robinson to be their No. 1 receiver. As a result, Ridley will fall somewhere between second and fourth on the depth chart. He was healthy for just five games before breaking his fibula last year, averaging 3.2 catches, 58.0 yards, and zero touchdowns during that span. We do expect quarterback Cameron Ward to take a second-year leap, which bodes well for all his receivers, including Ridley. However, it remains to be seen whether he can support fantasy-relevant production from more than just Robinson. It's tough to justify dropping him in dynasty leagues quite yet, but it might be necessary as the post-rookie draft roster crunch comes around.

CeeDee Lamb Trending Down Slightly in Dynasty Leagues?

Tuesday, April 14, 7:19 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is listed as a player trending down in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. The 27-year-old is coming off the worst fantasy season of his career, catching 75 passes for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR22 in PPR leagues. Part of the reason for Lamb's step backward is that he missed three games due to injury. If you extrapolate his stats over a full 17-game season, he still would have ranked as the overall WR7. However, that's easier said than done, as Lamb hasn't been healthy for all 17 games since 2023. The presence of George Pickens is another factor to consider. While Lamb and Pickens were able to coexist last year, the former saw his volume share drop to 8.4 targets per game, which was his lowest mark since 2021. That's not to say that managers should panic about Lamb or trade him away in dynasty leagues, but it's time to acknowledge that he faces an uphill battle to get into the very top tier of dynasty receivers. As it stands, he finds himself in the second tier, ranking as RotoBaller's WR7 for dynasty fantasy football.
