Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Calvin Ridley

Monday, December 8, 4:05 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team needs to get veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins more involved on offense, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. In a tough 27-22 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers to give up a share of first place in the AFC North division, Hopkins was unable to catch his only target on Sunday. The 13 snaps that the 33-year-old veteran played in Week 14 were his lowest snap total since Week 10. Instead, the Ravens leaned more on receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, and tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. It will be hard to trust Harbaugh's word going into Baltimore's Week 15 divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though the matchup is a juicy one. Hopkins hasn't had more than four targets in a game in 2025 and hasn't found the end zone since Week 2.

The Tennessee Titans officially placed wide receiver Calvin Ridley (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver James Proche II to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move, according to Jim Wyatt of the team's website. Ridley broke his fibula in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and will miss the rest of 2025. In addition to Ridley's injury, rookie wideouts Chimere Dike (chest) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were injured in Week 11 and did not return. It means the Titans' WR corps could be dangerously thin for their Week 12 tilt against the visiting Seattle Seahawks. If Dike and Ayomanor are both unable to play this weekend, it would mean much larger roles for veteran Van Jefferson and Mason Kinsey in the passing game, with tight ends Chig Okonkwo and Gunnar Helm also seeing target boosts.
