Who Should I Start? Courtland Sutton or Calvin Ridley

Saturday, October 11, 8:36 AM

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will face star cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets defense, he will likely lead the team in targets as they take the field in London. Sutton has been a consistent player this season, outside of a Week 2 dud, in which Troy Franklin had a breakout game. With averages of 13.5 half-ppr ppg and 16.1 full-ppr ppg coming into Week 6, Sutton is likely the only fully reliable option within the Broncos' core against a defense that typically gets exploited by the run game more than the pass. Fantasy managers should keep him in their lineups as a WR2 with upside, as Sutton comes in as WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 6.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Thursday, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. It will be Ridley's second straight missed practice this week after he came down with a hamstring injury in the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Unless he can practice on Friday, Ridley will most likely be ruled out for the Week 7 tilt against the New England Patriots on Sunday. With Ridley trending towards an inactive this weekend, rookie Elic Ayomanor is trending up as a fantasy flex play in Week 7. In addition to Ayomanor, veteran Van Jefferson and tight ends Chig Okonwko and Gunnar Helm should be more involved in the passing attack if Ridley is officially inactive. Ridley has not shown much chemistry with rookie quarterback Cameron Ward so far in 2025 and could have to wait until Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts to try for his first touchdown of the season.
