Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Michael Pittman Jr.

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) returned to practice on Thursday after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday with a glute injury, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. It's encouraging news that means Pittman should be available to play this weekend in Berlin, Germany, versus the Atlanta Falcons. The 28-year-old is having a bounce-back season in 2025 with quarterback Daniel Jones running the offense in Indy. The former first-rounder had only 808 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 16 games in 2024, but he's already up to 52 catches, 561 receiving yards, and a career-high-tying six touchdowns in 2025 through nine starts. As long as Pittman is available to play this weekend overseason, he should be a must-start in all fantasy football lineups as the Colts' WR1. Through nine weeks, Pittman is the WR11 in half-PPR scoring in average fantasy points per game.
