Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Chris Olave

The Tennessee Titans are not shopping wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Davenport's post on X claims to refute other reports that said Ridley was being shopped. However, he does note that the team has been receiving interest in Ridley. Even though the Titans aren't actively trying to move the veteran receiver, he could still be traded if another team makes a fair offer. Such a scenario would open the door for rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike to occupy even larger roles on offense.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in three of four targets for 57 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. His four targets marked a season low, though his 14.25 yards per target were a season high. Olave had built strong chemistry with Spencer Rattler before the second-year quarterback was benched, and with Tyler Shough now at the helm, the two will be forced to find their rhythm quickly. Olave ranked second in the league in targets from Weeks 1-8 under Rattler, making him the clear focal point of the passing game. With Rashid Shaheed, who saw nine targets in Week 9, being traded to the Seahawks, Olave is expected to assume an even larger role, assuming he isn't moved before the trade deadline as well. The Saints will visit the Panthers in Week 10, where Olave should be treated as a WR2 with upside.
