Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Demario Douglas

Thursday, November 21, 5:22 PM

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas converted seven targets into five catches for 59 yards during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Outside of a few dud games this season, Douglas has been quite productive, totaling 44 catches, 415 yards, and one touchdown. The second-year receiver has played especially well with Drake Maye under center, repeatedly operating as one of his primary targets while handing a snap share above 50 percent. Douglas remains a low-end WR3/FLEX option with additional value in PPR formats.
