Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jordan Addison

The Tennessee Titans are not shopping wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Davenport's post on X claims to refute other reports that said Ridley was being shopped. However, he does note that the team has been receiving interest in Ridley. Even though the Titans aren't actively trying to move the veteran receiver, he could still be traded if another team makes a fair offer. Such a scenario would open the door for rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike to occupy even larger roles on offense.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison remains a quality WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Detroit Lions in a Week 9 meeting of NFC North foes. It remains to be seen how the USC product meshes with starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, with whom Addison has never appeared in a regular-season game. McCarthy has played in just two games since the start of 2024, and Addison was suspended for both of them. Addison has a decent matchup against a Lions team that has surrendered 14 passing touchdowns in seven games, which is one of the worst marks in the league, but Minnesota has had major issues protecting the quarterback. The Vikings rank 31st in sack rate and managed a miserable 47 plays last week in a loss to the L.A. Chargers, though Addison accounted for the team's only touchdown. Addison has shown steady fantasy appeal this season, giving managers reason to believe he can perform even in the midst of the Vikings' struggles.
