Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or George Pickens

Sunday, October 20, 8:52 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught three passes for 42 yards in the 34-10 blowout loss to Buffalo on Sunday. After the infamous eight-target, zero-catch game vs. Indy, Ridley was able to gain positive yardage in this one but only caught three of his nine targets, recording a couple of drops in the process. The nightmare stretch continues for Ridley who also had multiple deep shots come up empty from quarterback Mason Rudolph. All the chatter of the coaching staff wanting to get Ridley the ball more did not pan out. This could possibly be the least fantasy-friendly offense in the league right now and Ridley is no exception. Up next are the Detroit Lions in Week 8.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens hauled in five receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in a 37-15 victory over the New York Jets. With Russell Wilson starting at quarterback, Pickens was consistently given opportunities downfield. He came down with multiple highlight-reel grabs and found pay dirt for the first time this season on an 11-yard fade route near the end of the second quarter. While Pickens was clearly the favorite target of Justin Fields, his skillset seems to better align with Wilson's strengths, which include stretching the field vertically. The 23-year-old should find himself back in fantasy WR2 territory next week in a bout with the New York Giants.
