Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, October 5, 2:38 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is officially active for his team's Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Ridley practiced just once this week but will give it a go on Sunday. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start to the 2025 season with 10 catches for 141 yards and zero touchdowns on 24 targets through four games. Ridley profiles as a low-end flex option in three-wide receiver leagues in Week 5 against Arizona.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have no problem getting free against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Buccaneers are currently sixth against opposing wideouts in fantasy, but they have not exactly faced a potent passing offense to this point. The Seahawks have been relatively efficient passing the ball thus far this season. A great connection between JSN and quarterback Sam Darnold has anchored that efficiency. Smith-Njigba is currently the WR7 in fantasy with only one touchdown. He has been a target monster in an offense that has been able to move the ball up and down the field. The Buccaneers have an equally competent offense, which suggests that this game could be somewhat of a high-scoring game. If the Seahawks are airing it out consistently on Sunday, Smith-Njigba should produce as a WR1 again.
