Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley underwhelmed in Week 1 against cornerback Patrick Surtain II and the Denver Broncos defense, recording just four catches for 27 yards. On a positive note, Ridley led the Titans in targets (eight) and looks like the clear number one option in the passing game for Tennessee rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. Still, it could be a struggle again for Ridley in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams' defense dominated the Houston Texans' passing game in Week 1, holding Houston to 188 yards passing and shutting down star Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (three catches for 25 yards). Ridley should still see a heavy volume of targets on Sunday, but efficiency and end zone opportunities may be hard to come by. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 2.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (shoulder) was a full participant at practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. The 24-year-old suffered a shoulder sprain in Week 1 but appears to be on track to play in Sunday night's matchup against Minnesota. The former first-round draft pick was heavily involved last week, drawing 15 looks from quarterback Michael Penix Jr., turning it into eight catches for 55 yards. London averaged 13 targets in the three games Penix Jr. started at the end of 2024, so this appears to be a continuation of that. As such, against a Minnesota defense that is much easier to throw on than run on, London should be the team's top target-earner again in Week 2. The fourth-year wideout projects as a low-end WR1 option on Sunday night, but carries some upside against a banged-up Vikings defense.
