Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jakobi Meyers

Tuesday, September 2, 12:33 PM

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said the team will have to move wide receiver Calvin Ridley around on offense to help get him open, and that the other wideouts will have to win their one-on-one matchups this year. Despite dealing with subpar quarterback play in 2024 in his first year with the Titans, Ridley managed to post his second straight 1,000-yard season and third of his career on 64 receptions while scoring only four times in 17 games (14 starts). It was a slight step back from 2023, when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old veteran is the Titans' unquestioned WR1 yet again, but he doesn't have much help behind him and will be working with a rookie signal-caller in Cameron Ward. Fantasy managers can hang their hat on plenty of volume, but efficiency could once again be an issue.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers said that he is unsure whether he will sign an extension with the team, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Meyers, who had his trade request denied by the Raiders earlier this summer, said that he decided not to hold out because he wanted to stay loyal to his teammates. The veteran receiver is heading into a contract year and could end up playing for the third team of his career next season. He's coming off a terrific 2024 campaign in which he scored four touchdowns while amassing a career-high 87 catches and 1,027 yards. With Meyers confirming that he won't hold out, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end WR3 in fantasy football this season.
