Calvin Ridley is Nearly Impossible to Trust in Week 5

Friday, October 9, 6:40 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has done almost nothing on offense through the first four games of the season. Heading into Week 5, Ridley has recorded three of his five targets for 48 yards and zero touchdowns. He'll now draw a tough matchup against the Houston Texans defense in Week 5. It's clear that Ridley isn't going to be a big part of the offense with Carnell Tate (back) and Wan'Dale Robinson being the primary options in the passing game. Ridley is probably worth holding in deep leagues, but he's not someone that should be trusted in starting lineups right now.

DeVonta Smith News

DeVonta Smith Officially Ruled Out for Week 5

Friday, October 9, 10:19 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 5 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NBC Sports' John Clark. Smith was seen doing work on a rehab field on Thursday and Friday, but it was not enough to earn him the green light to play, and he will miss a second straight game with his hamstring injury. He is a must-start when active as Philly's clear WR1, but he must remain on the bench for another week. Smith's next chance to play will come next Sunday in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Through his first three games in 2026, he has 19 catches on 27 targets for 235 yards and a touchdown. Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) is also banged up for the Eagles, so rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper could be quarterback Jalen Hurts' top two receivers this weekend across the pond. The good news for Hurts is that he will be getting starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) back after a two-week absence.
