Calvin Ridley News
Friday, June 12, 6:32 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) endured a nightmare season in 2025. After missing three games with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 6, the veteran wideout suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11. All in all, Ridley finished the year with just 17 receptions for 303 yards and zero touchdowns on 36 targets across seven games. While Ridley is still working his way back from the leg injury, he's reportedly begun seven-on-seven work and is expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026. The Titans made a couple of notable additions to their wide receiver room over the offseason, selecting wide receiver Carnell Tate fourth overall in the 2026 Draft and signing slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency. While Tate could immediately usurp Ridley as the Titans' WR1, Ridley should remain a key target for young Tennessee quarterback Cameron Ward. Coming off a serious leg injury and entering his age-32 season, Ridley should not be expected to provide peak production. Still, win-now dynasty managers may have an opportunity to buy low on him entering 2026.

Troy Franklin News
Wednesday, June 17, 11:32 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin (hamstring) was active during the team's mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Franklin appears to be over a hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game back in January. In his second year in the NFL in 2025 after the Broncos made him a fourth-round pick in 2024 out of the University of Oregon, the 23-year-old took a big step forward with 65 catches for 709 yards and six touchdowns on 104 targets in 17 regular-season games (seven starts). He only had 28 receptions (53 targets) for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (six starts) as a rookie in 2024. Franklin's fantasy stock is trending down going into his third year in the league, though, primarily because the Broncos gave up a first-round pick this year for veteran wideout Jaylen Waddle. Between Waddle and Courtland Sutton, there may not be many targets left over for Franklin as he competes for the No. 3 role in Denver in 2026. RotoBaller currently has Franklin ranked as the No. 86 fantasy WR in single-year, half-PPR leagues.
