Calvin Ridley News

Does Calvin Ridley Carry Sneaky Redraft Sleeper Appeal into 2026?

Monday, July 6, 11:40 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) had a season to forget in 2025, as he played in just seven games and suffered a season-ending broken fibula in Week 11. The 31-year-old finished the year with just 17 catches for 303 yards and zero touchdowns on 36 targets. Entering 2026, Ridley may now profile as the third option in the Titans' passing game behind slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie wideout Carnell Tate. Still, the overall offensive environment in Tennessee should be improved with Brian Daboll in place as the play-caller and quarterback Cam Ward entering his second season. Ridley should be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season, and he recorded back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2023 and 2024. Fantasy managers should no longer expect peak production from Ridley, but he may still be a value selection as the 67th wide receiver off the board by average draft position in redraft leagues.

Xavier Worthy News

Xavier Worthy May Be Overvalued by Current Redraft ADP

Tuesday, July 7, 10:22 AM

After a promising rookie season in 2024, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy saw his production stagnate in a disappointing 2025 campaign. Across 14 games, Worthy recorded 42 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown on 73 targets. Entering 2026, Worthy profiles as the Chiefs' WR2 behind only the highly unreliable Rashee Rice (knee), who is currently recovering from knee surgery and may be facing another league suspension. If Worthy takes a step forward in his age-23 season, he could emerge as the go-to weapon for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, Worthy was unable to establish himself last season, when Rice missed nine games. Worthy has explosive speed, but he's averaged a highly underwhelming 1.25 yards per route run for his NFL career to this point. He certainly has upside, but Worthy may be overvalued as the 48th wide receiver off the board by current redraft ADP.
