Calvin Ridley May Carry Buy-Low Appeal for Win-Now Dynasty Managers

Friday, June 12, 6:32 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) endured a nightmare season in 2025. After missing three games with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 6, the veteran wideout suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11. All in all, Ridley finished the year with just 17 receptions for 303 yards and zero touchdowns on 36 targets across seven games. While Ridley is still working his way back from the leg injury, he's reportedly begun seven-on-seven work and is expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026. The Titans made a couple of notable additions to their wide receiver room over the offseason, selecting wide receiver Carnell Tate fourth overall in the 2026 Draft and signing slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency. While Tate could immediately usurp Ridley as the Titans' WR1, Ridley should remain a key target for young Tennessee quarterback Cameron Ward. Coming off a serious leg injury and entering his age-32 season, Ridley should not be expected to provide peak production. Still, win-now dynasty managers may have an opportunity to buy low on him entering 2026.

Germie Bernard News

Germie Bernard Expected to Require Some Patience in Dynasty Leagues

Monday, June 1, 8:23 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard has an encouraging draft stock as a second-round pick and has drawn praise from the coaching staff, but his position on the depth chart could prevent him from having immediate fantasy relevance. Managers may need to exercise a little patience in dynasty leagues, as Bernard projects to open 2026 as the Steelers' No. 3 receiver behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. That's not to say that he should be avoided in dynasty leagues, though. Metcalf has missed at least two games in each of the last two seasons, so injuries could strike at any time and result in Bernard taking on a larger role. Plus, as a second-rounder from Alabama, we know he's a talented player who could earn more playing time simply by producing this summer and early in his rookie season. Managers may have to be a little patient, but the upside is very encouraging. Bernard is a solid target at the end of the first round or start of the second round in 2026 rookie drafts. He ranks as the WR60 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
