Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jauan Jennings

Sunday, August 10, 11:52 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley got off to a promising start with his new quarterback, rookie No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, in a 29-7 preseason-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. Ridley hauled in all three of his targets from Ward for 50 yards, including a game-high 27-yarder. The 30-year-old is heading into his second season with the Titans and looking for a third straight 1,000-yard campaign. Ridley racked up 1,017 yards and four touchdowns on 64 catches (120 targets) last season despite having to work with the less-than-stellar quarterback duo of Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. Ward should provide an upgrade over those two (albeit with some growing pains), and with the Titans lacking other high-end pass-catching options, Ridley will draw plenty of looks from the team's new signal-caller. RotoBaller has Ridley ranked as WR26 going into the season.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) posted a photo on his social-media account of him getting treatment on Thursday morning from Las Vegas, where his teammates are scheduled to have a joint practice against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Jennings has not practiced with the team since the first week of training camp after aggravating a calf injury that he also dealt with during spring workouts. The 28-year-old is also in the midst of contract-extension negotiations with the organization, so he's in no rush to push himself back onto the field and risk further injury. Still, he's losing valuable reps with the first-team offense in a year in which he has a huge opportunity to be one of the team's top-targeted wideouts with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) hurt and Deebo Samuel Sr. no longer in town. Jennings is on the WR3/4 borderline as a fantasy sleeper in 2025.
