Calvin Ridley Restructures Deal with Titans

Saturday, March 14, 10:01 AM

The Tennessee Titans and wide receiver Calvin Ridley have agreed to a restructured deal that will keep the veteran in Nashville for the 2026 season, according to Tom Pelissero. Ridley signed a top-of-the-market four-year deal in 2024, but has yet to make a meaningful impact in Tennessee, dealing with poor quarterback play over parts of the past two seasons and missing ten games to injury in 2025. Perhaps no offense in the league looks different than the Titans since the signing of that deal, with three of the team's four leading receivers in 2025 being rookies and the team bringing in a new head coach and offensive coordinator to guide Cam Ward in 2026. The new regime recently added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, a move likely to push the 31-year-old Ridley into more of a situational role as Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and tight end Gunnar Helm all look to take a year-two leap.

Should Puka Nacua Be the WR1 in Dynasty Startups?

Tuesday, February 10, 9:22 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua finished as the WR1 in Half-PPR formats in 2025, and the 24-year-old wideout belongs in the conversation at the top of the position in dynasty startups. His 95.3 receiving yards per game since his record-breaking 2023 rookie campaign is the highest in NFL history, and with quarterback Matthew Stafford insinuating his return during NFL Honors, the Rams appear poised for another all-in title push in 2026. Nacua, Ja'Marr Chase, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba comprise the top tier at the position. While youth slightly favors Smith-Njigba, and long-term quarterback stability belongs to Chase, Nacua enters 2026 in the most favorable overall position and is the most likely to see his value rise throughout the season. While drafters can't go wrong with any of the three, Nacua makes sense at the top of the draft for those building both an instant contender or long-term juggernaut.
