Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Ja'Marr Chase

Tuesday, November 18, 6:35 PM

The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has certainly had his share of ups and downs throughout the 2025 campaign. He hasn't scored a touchdown in weeks. Still, the wideout remains involved at a high level, most recently catching 10 of his 16 targets for 132 yards in the Week 15 AFC North clash with the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals aren't going to the postseason. However, as long as Chase is active, there's no way fantasy managers can keep him on the bench and feel good about it. That applies to Sunday's meeting with the Miami Dolphins, even more so if Tee Higgins (concussion) misses another contest.
