Calvin Ridley News
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.

DeVonta Smith News
Tuesday, April 14, 9:37 AM
Some in the Philadelphia Eagles' organization think that if wide receiver A.J. Brown were no longer on the team, that DeVonta Smith "can have a similar jump in production" that Jaxon Smith-Njigba had in Seattle with the Seahawks when DK Metcalf was traded, according to Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice. Kempski also adds that if Brown is traded, Smith will "immediately become the focal point of the passing offense." He has topped 1,000 yards in three of his four NFL seasons while also catching the "dagger" in the team's second franchise Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. "He is wired for this opportunity," Kempski believes. In addition to his Super Bowl ring, Smith won the Heisman Trophy in college and two national championships with Alabama. The 27-year-old former 10th overall pick in 2021 had 77 catches for 1,008 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2025, with Kempski saying he was "pretty clearly" a better player than Brown. All signs are pointing to Brown getting traded after June 1, which would give Smith a huge fantasy boost heading into next season.
