Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Xavier Worthy

Wednesday, November 20, 1:42 PM

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) is out sick on Wednesday and won't practice, but he's expected to return to the field on Thursday. Ridley is a little under the weather as the team begins their preparations for Week 12 against the division-rival Houston Texans. The 29-year-old has plenty of time to get right before Sunday's contest and shouldn't have an issue playing this weekend. Ridley will likely see a lot of coverage from Texans cornerback Derek Stingley as he looks to improve on his 4-58-0 line in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As long as Ridley is active in Week 12, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex. He's just two weeks removed from catching five passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in the 21-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Worthy looked like he was in for a big game with one carry, four catches, and a touchdown early on, but he was held without another touch for the remainder of the contest. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season, but it was encouraging to see Worthy be an essential piece of the offense. Worthy will look to carry this momentum into next week's contest against the Carolina Panthers, who rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite this strong showing, it won't be easy to trust Worthy in starting lineups until he displays some consistency from week to week.
