Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Garrett Wilson

Tuesday, November 18, 6:35 PM

The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) has been sidelined since Week 10 with relatively few updates on his status. Now, despite the Jets trending toward missing the playoffs, Connor Hughes of SNY speculates that Wilson will be activated and will return to the lineup before the end of the regular season. When explaining his belief that Wilson will play again this year, Hughes cited the receiver's desire to contribute. "Garrett is such a different guy," Hughes said. "He wants to win so bad, and he wants to be on the field so bad that when he is healthy and he can clear and pass all the tests, I don't see the Jets being able to keep Garrett out of the lineup. He is going to want to be out there, and the Jets are ultimately going to have to put him back out there." The exact timetable for Wilson's return is unclear, but presumably, he'll be back for some or all of the fantasy football playoffs. He should benefit from having Tyrod Taylor under center, as his best game of the season came with the veteran quarterback throwing him passes. That happened back in Week 3, and Wilson caught 10 passes for 84 yards and one touchdown. Upon his return, Wilson will rank as a low-end WR1 in fantasy football.
