Calvin Ridley News
Monday, July 6, 11:40 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) had a season to forget in 2025, as he played in just seven games and suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11. The 31-year-old finished the year with just 17 catches for 303 yards and zero touchdowns on 36 targets. Entering 2026, Ridley may now profile as the third option in the Titans' passing game behind slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie wideout Carnell Tate. Still, the overall offensive environment in Tennessee should be improved with Brian Daboll in place as the play-caller and quarterback Cam Ward entering his second season. Ridley should be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season, and he recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2023 and 2024. Fantasy managers should no longer expect peak production from Ridley, but he may still be a value selection as the 67th wide receiver off the board by average draft position in redraft leagues.

Germie Bernard News
Thursday, June 25, 8:42 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard showed off an intriguing fantasy skill set in his final collegiate season in 2025. Across 14 games for the University of Alabama, Bernard recorded 64 catches for 862 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 101 yards and two scores on 18 carries. Entering 2026, Bernard may be competing with fellow rookie wideout Kaden Wetjen to be Pittsburgh's primary slot receiver. The Steelers have two veteran wideouts in DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. who will likely command the majority of the team's targets, which may limit Bernard's short-term fantasy upside. Still, Bernard's ability to affect the game as both a rusher and a receiver gives him plenty of long-term upside. For rebuilding dynasty managers, Bernard profiles as a logical target in rookie drafts.
