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.

Isaac TeSlaa News
Tuesday, July 14, 8:05 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa caught only 16 of his 27 targets for 239 yards in his rookie campaign in 2025 in 17 games after being a third-rounder out of the University of Arkansas, but he was a vital red-zone weapon for quarterback Jared Goff and caught six touchdowns in his first year in the NFL. He added eight receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the team's final three regular-season games. As he heads into Year 2, TeSlaa looks ready to make a leap in his sophomore season, with receivers coach Scottie Montgomery saying that the 24-year-old looks stronger and more athletic this offseason. The Lions still have Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and tight end Sam LaPorta drawing serious targets, but with Kalif Raymond now out of town, TeSlaa has a clear path to a bigger role as the unquestioned WR3 in Detroit. The Lions have been touting TeSlaa's abilities all offseason, hinting that he should be much more involved in Year 2. His fantasy stock is on the rise in both dynasty and redraft formats, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 69 fantasy WR for 2026. TeSlaa makes for an interesting late-round upside pick in Detroit's pass-happy offense.
