Calvin Ridley's Connection with Cam Ward Brewing

Saturday, July 26, 3:40 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has reportedly been rookie quarterback Cam Ward's favorite target during Saturday's practice, with the two notably hooking up on a deep out route down the sideline. Ridley seems like the natural fit to lead Tennessee in receiving again in 2025 after collecting his second consecutive 1,000-yard season with a different team (Jacksonville). He could stand to get more work, however, with the news of fellow wideout Treylon Burks (shoulder) fracturing his collarbone on Saturday. Aside from tight end Chig Okonkwo, Ridley is the most tenured pass-catcher amongst the potential starters, with Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson acquired in free agency, and Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor selected in April's draft. The 30-year-old's week-to-week production could be up-and-down, but he is the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Titans' passing offense and a high-floor fantasy asset in the top 75 picks.

Commanders, Terry McLaurin Not Close on New Deal

Monday, July 28, 4:10 PM

The difference between what the Washington Commanders are willing to offer and what wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is asking for in contract negotiations is "vast," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McLaurin ended his holdout and reported to Commanders' training camp on Sunday, but he was immediately placed on the active/physically unable to perform list, so this could be a hold-in situation. McLaurin will turn 30 in September and has been remarkably durable throughout his career, playing in 17 games in each of the last five seasons. He caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024, his first season playing with Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. McLaurin profiles as a high-end WR2 in fantasy as long as he's ready to go for the regular season, but it appears as though his return to the practice field is not particularly close.
