Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Ladd McConkey

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) broke his fibula during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Houston Texans, according to interim head coach Mike McCoy. Ridley is done for the season. It's been a very frustrating year for the veteran receiver health-wise. After a slow start offensively, he finally found a groove with five catches and 131 yards in Week 5. The next week, though, he injured his hamstring, forcing him to miss three games. He finally returned from that injury this Sunday before breaking his fibula just one quarter into Week 11. The 30-year-old finishes the 2025 season with 17 catches, 303 yards, and zero touchdowns through parts of seven games. Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike (concussion), and Van Jefferson will operate as the Titans' top receivers for the rest of the season.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The entire offense was ineffective, with Justin Herbert passing for only 81 yards, and the Chargers holding the ball for just 22 minutes. After scoring four touchdowns in his last six games, this was McConkey's lowest-target outing of the season and his second-worst game in receptions and yards. He entered Week 11 as the team's clear WR1, but Los Angeles couldn't sustain drives long enough for any receiver to produce. McConkey still leads the league in routes run and ranks in the top 12 in overall targets. With a Week 12 bye ahead, fantasy managers should see this as an outlier with better days ahead.
