Calvin Ridley News
Saturday, March 14, 10:01 AM
The Tennessee Titans and wide receiver Calvin Ridley have agreed to a restructured deal that will keep the veteran in Nashville for the 2026 season, according to Tom Pelissero. Ridley signed a top-of-the-market four-year deal in 2024, but has yet to make a meaningful impact in Tennessee, dealing with poor quarterback play over parts of the past two seasons and missing ten games to injury in 2025. Perhaps no offense in the league looks different than the Titans since the signing of that deal, with three of the team's four leading receivers in 2025 being rookies and the team bringing in a new head coach and offensive coordinator to guide Cam Ward in 2026. The new regime recently added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, a move likely to push the 31-year-old Ridley into more of a situational role as Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and tight end Gunnar Helm all look to take a year-two leap.

Dylan Sampson News
Monday, March 16, 5:38 PM
Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson was much more effective as a pass-catcher than as a traditional RB in his first year in the NFL in 2025. Sampson played in 15 games (two starts) and had 175 carries and no touchdowns on 65 rushing attempts (2.7 yards per carry). As a pass-catcher, he caught 33 of 40 targets for 271 yards and two touchdowns. The 21-year-old fourth-round selection out of the University of Tennessee figures to have a similar role in 2026 as a pass-catching specialist behind starter Quinshon Judkins. Sampson should have a slightly bigger role as well with Jerome Ford out of town, but in a Browns offense that could once again struggle given their less-than-ideal situation at quarterback, Sampson will mostly be a late-round handcuff option for Judkins' managers in single-year PPR leagues. Sampson is a bit more attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues as a hold for depth purposes.
