Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Garrett Wilson

Friday, September 12, 10:39 AM

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.

After an encouraging Week 1 performance, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson and the remainder of the offense came crashing back to Earth in their 30-10 home loss to the Buffalo Bills. Justin Fields looked like a completely different player in Week 2, completing just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards. In turn, the rest of New York's skill players struggled. If not for backup QB Tyrod Taylor somewhat salvaging Wilson's line (4/50), it'd have been an even worse outing. It's been a mixed bag for the Jets thus far. While Wilson's talent is of the upper echelon, consistent WR1 production will be challenging to come by in his current situation. Volume should keep him afloat to some degree for fantasy, but the Ohio State alum is more of a volatile, WR2/3 until the offense shows some stability. He'll get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.
