Calvin Ridley Comes Back to Uncertain Role

Thursday, April 2, 7:48 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley signed a restructured deal to return for the 2026 season, but his role will look different this year. Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor are both expected to be significantly more involved, and the Titans also signed Wan'Dale Robinson to be their No. 1 receiver. As a result, Ridley will fall somewhere between second and fourth on the depth chart. He was healthy for just five games before breaking his fibula last year, averaging 3.2 catches, 58.0 yards, and zero touchdowns during that span. We do expect quarterback Cameron Ward to take a second-year leap, which bodes well for all his receivers, including Ridley. However, it remains to be seen whether he can support fantasy-relevant production from more than just Robinson. It's tough to justify dropping him in dynasty leagues quite yet, but it might be necessary as the post-rookie draft roster crunch comes around.

Juwan Johnson News

Juwan Johnson Looking to Build on Breakout 2025 Campaign

Wednesday, April 15, 4:29 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson had the most productive season of his career in 2025, recording 77 receptions for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. The 29-year-old's 102 targets were good for second on the team behind only star wide receiver Chris Olave. While New Orleans signed veteran tight end Noah Fant in free agency, Johnson should function as the Saints' lead receiver at the position once again in 2026. Additionally, the outlook for New Orleans' pass game overall is trending up after quarterback Tyler Shough's emergence as a capable signal-caller down the back half of 2025. Johnson may not offer fantasy managers explosive upside, but he should provide a safe production floor, especially in PPR-scoring formats. Johnson's short-term dynasty value is rising after his solid year in 2025.
