Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jerry Jeudy

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.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and running back Jerome Ford are not expected to play in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Browns beat writer Kelsey Russo. In addition, the Browns are expected to hold out rookie RB Dylan Sampson. Jeudy's last chance to play in the preseason will come next Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams, as he also didn't play in the preseason opener last week. In regards to the RB situation, the Browns are being mindful not to thin out their RB room even more with rookie second-rounder Quinshon Judkins still unsigned as he deals with legal matters. Jeudy will be the unquestioned WR1 again in 2025, although his fantasy upside will remain limited with veteran quarterback Joe Flacco running the offense. Ford figures to have an elevated backfield role if Judkins is not ready for the start of the season.
