Who Should I Start? Daurice Fountain or Calvin Ridley

Sunday, August 20, 1:38 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Daurice Fountain led the team in receiving and got into the endzone in Saturday's preseason loss against the Indianapolis Colts. The 27-year-old hauled in five catches on six targets for 86 receiving yards, including a 35-yard jump ball touchdown from Nathan Peterman in the fourth quarter. Despite this dominant performance, several receivers are currently ahead of Fountain on the depth chart. While it will be challenging for Fountain to get a spot on the 53-man roster, he is still someone to watch regardless of the outcome.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is expected to see a lot of targets in his first year with the team in 2024. "You're looking at a very similar role to what Ja'Marr Chase played," Titans head coach Brian Callahan said. The new Titans head coach previously coached Chase as the offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals. Ridley might not be the overall talent that Chase is, but his fantasy price is going to go up considerably if the Titans indeed use Ridley similarly to how Chase is used in Cincinnati. With the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023, the 29-year-old was mostly used as a deep threat on the outside and finished with the second 1,000-yard season of his career and eight touchdowns in 17 starts. If he's running more intermediate routes out of the slot in 2024, Ridley's fantasy ceiling could be even higher.
