Calvin Ridley May Carry Buy-Low Appeal for Win-Now Dynasty Managers

Friday, June 12, 6:32 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) endured a nightmare season in 2025. After missing three games with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 6, the veteran wideout suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11. All in all, Ridley finished the year with just 17 receptions for 303 yards and zero touchdowns on 36 targets across seven games. While Ridley is still working his way back from the leg injury, he's reportedly begun seven-on-seven work and is expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026. The Titans made a couple of notable additions to their wide receiver room over the offseason, selecting wide receiver Carnell Tate fourth overall in the 2026 Draft and signing slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency. While Tate could immediately usurp Ridley as the Titans' WR1, Ridley should remain a key target for young Tennessee quarterback Cameron Ward. Coming off a serious leg injury and entering his age-32 season, Ridley should not be expected to provide peak production. Still, win-now dynasty managers may have an opportunity to buy low on him entering 2026.

Khalil Shakir News

Should Dynasty Managers Be Looking to Sell High on Khalil Shakir?

Sunday, June 14, 5:10 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has arguably been his team's most consistent pass-catcher over the past two years, averaging 74 catches, 770 receiving yards, and four touchdowns on 97 targets per season. Particularly in PPR-scoring formats, Shakir's reliability and consistency allow him to provide fantasy managers with a safe production floor. However, his upside is also limited by his lack of downfield ability, as he averaged just 10 yards per reception and 7.6 yards per target in 2025. Additionally, Shakir's target volume in Buffalo may be trending in the wrong direction following the team's offseason acquisition of veteran wide receiver DJ Moore. If the Bills get strong production from Moore and a healthier season from tight end Dalton Kincaid, Shakir could be siloed to a complementary role in the team's passing game. Given his limited ceiling and the shifting environment around Shakir in Buffalo, dynasty managers may want to explore selling high on him ahead of 2026.
