Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught ten passes on a season-high 15 targets for 143 yards in the 52-14 loss to Detroit on Sunday. The squeaky wheel got the grease in this one as Ridley finally broke through with a huge performance in his seventh game as a Titan. It was abundantly clear that the game plan was to hyper-target Ridley, especially with DeAndre Hopkins gone, and it paid off in a big way for those that played the speedster. He was in-sync with quarterback Mason Rudolph from the jump, putting up hauling in passes of 26 and 47 yards in the first quarter that helped him reach the century mark in that period. While the rest of the afternoon was relatively quiet, fantasy managers can only rejoice when seeing a performance like this from Ridley who has been quite a let down through the first part of the 2024 season. Up next is a Week 9 intra-conference clash with the New England Patriots in Nashville.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) is optimistic he will be able to return in Week 9 to face the Los Angeles Rams according to Gregg Bell of the News Tribune. Metcalf was held out of action this past Sunday due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 7 and was unable to practice all week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression this week as a return to practice could suggest he will be able to suit up this weekend. Metcalf has been very productive through the first half of the season as he has totaled 568 yards and three scores on 35 receptions. After scoring just 5.9 PPR points in Week 1, Metcalf has gone on to average 17.3 PPR points since Week 2. Fantasy managers should lock the 26-year-old into their lineup as a high-end WR2 if returns this weekend.
Still trying to decide between Ridley and Metcalf? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Calvin Ridley is projected to score 16.5 points this week while D.K. Metcalf is projected to score 15.9 points.
