Calvin Ridley News
Friday, August 14, 6:13 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley got the start along with the rest of the team's first-unit offense during Thursday night's preseason opener, and he connected with quarterback Cam Ward on an 18-yard pass as part of the Titans' 11-play, 95-yard opening scoring drive. Ridley missed most of the 2025 season with a hamstring injury and a broken fibula, but his 925-yard pace across his five healthy games would have led the team by a significant margin. An overhauled receiver room featuring free agent acquisition Wan'Dale Robinson and fourth overall pick Carnell Tate adds significant target competition in 2026, but often going undrafted outside of deeper leagues, Ridley is a player to watch early in the season, as his versatility could still lead to usable fantasy contributions, even as the third option in what could be an ascending offense.

Rashid Shaheed News
Sunday, August 23, 6:16 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed should be a major factor in the team's offense this season. Shaheed was traded from the New Orleans Saints to the Seahawks last season and was unproductive as a receiver. Across 12 games, including the postseason, he caught 18 of 36 targets for 266 yards and no touchdowns, averaging under three fantasy points per game. With a full offseason with quarterback Sam Darnold and the Seahawks offense, Shaheed should be able to contribute much more. Seahawks beat writer Justin Melo praised Shaheed, saying, "The sky is the limit for Shaheed in Brian Fleury's offense this season, and it's exciting to see him making plays at camp." Currently ranked WR56 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Shaheed offers a ton of upside in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.
