Calvin Ridley Holds Minimal Upside in Week 1 Despite Path to Starting Role

Saturday, September 12, 8:22 AM

After dealing with a hamstring injury and a broken fibula that limited him to just seven games in 2025, wide receiver Calvin Ridley enters the 2026 campaign healthy and as a starter for the Tennessee Titans. The Titans take on the New York Jets in Week 1. Ridley will play alongside fellow wideouts Wan'Dale Robinson and Carnell Tate (rookie), as well as tight end Gunnar Helm, as he looks to establish himself as a top target for quarterback Cam Ward in the passing game. The 31-year-old Ridley recorded just 17 receptions for 303 yards and zero touchdowns during his injury-plagued 2025 campaign, but the veteran has amassed 405 catches for 5,678 yards and 40 touchdowns throughout his career. Ridley is currently rostered in just 4% of Yahoo leagues right now and ranks as RotoBaller's No. 80 wide receiver (half-PPR) in Week 1. It is safe to keep Ridley out of lineups for Week 1, but his situation is worth monitoring.

Xavier Hutchinson Returns to Complementary Role

Saturday, October 3, 5:17 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson will remain involved in the team's passing game against the Cowboys in Week 4, although he could be in a smaller role with Nico Collins returning from a two-week absence. Hutchinson has three catches on at least six targets in each of the first three games of this season. He had a season-high 51 yards in Week 3 against the Colts and also had two rushes for four yards. Hutchinson will likely rotate with Kayshon Boutte across from Collins against Dallas, and even though his connection with C.J. Stroud is strong, his reduced role has him as the No. 81 WR in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings. He can be left on the waiver wire or your bench in most formats until the Texans' offense gets going.
