Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Puka Nacua

Sunday, October 12, 6:16 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Ridley exited in the second quarter with a hamstring issue and will be held out for the rest of this game as a precaution. He'll finish this game hauling in his lone target for 18 yards. The loss of Ridley should mean increased roles for Elic Ayomanor, Tyler Lockett, and Van Jefferson. Fantasy managers should check back for more updates on Ridley's status. Sadly, hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Ridley could be looking at a multiple game absence.

Updating previous reports on Monday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team thinks wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) avoided a "long-term injury" in Sunday's Week 6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. When deciding on when Nacua can return, McVay mentioned that the receiver's "style of play, the way and the nature at which he plays, that is something that does weigh into this." A report earlier on Monday suggested that Nacua was expected to miss some time, but McVay himself is calling him day-to-day and isn't ruling him out for Week 7 in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams have their bye in Week 8, so the most likely scenario is that L.A. will hold Nacua out in Week 7 and hope to have him back for a Week 9 contest against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 2. Fantasy managers should prepare for Nacua to miss at least one game. If Nacua doesn't play in London, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) would be the next men up behind Davante Adams in the Rams' passing game.
