Can Calvin Ridley Earn Back a Starting Role?

Sunday, April 26, 5:37 AM

Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has become the forgotten piece of Tennessee's passing offense. After paying up to land former Giant Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, the team spent the fourth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Ohio State prospect Carnell Tate, continuing to add youth to a group that saw rookies account for 41.2% of the team's receiving yards in 2025. While three of the Titans' four leading pass catchers were first-year players, it was Ridley who was leading the team in targets and yards before a broken fibula ended his season after only six games. His 48.3 receiving yards per game ultimately held up as the most on the team, all accomplished before quarterback Cam Ward took significant strides toward the end of his own rookie season. If Ridley can earn his way back into three-receiver sets alongside Tate and Robinson, he could become a steal at his current cost of RotoBaller's dynasty WR91.

Ravens Picking Up Zay Flowers' Fifth-Year Option

Thursday, April 23, 7:37 AM

The Baltimore Ravens are picking up wide receiver Zay Flowers' fifth-year option, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Flowers will earn $28 million in 2027. This was a no-brainer move for Baltimore, especially after Flowers earned Pro Bowl honors in each of the last two seasons while combining for 160 receptions (234 targets) for 2,270 yards and nine touchdowns in 34 regular-season games in 2024 and 2025. The 25-year-old was originally taken with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft out of Boston College. Flowers had a 77-858-5 line on 108 targets over 16 starts in his rookie season before reaching the 1,000-yard mark in each of the last two campaigns. Although the Ravens' passing offense hasn't been all that great in Flowers' time with the team, he has led the team in receiving in each of his three years in the league. If both he and quarterback Lamar Jackson can stay healthy in 2026, Flowers could build on his numbers from last year, which included a career-high 1,211 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 17 starts.
