Who Should I Start? Jarvis Landry or Calvin Ridley

Friday, August 2, 8:51 AM

Free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry is still looking for a new team, but might've found one with the New York Jets. The 31-year-old reportedly had a workout with the Jets this week. The nine-year veteran had a solid career during his time with the Miami Dolphins. Since he left Miami, Landry has started to go downhill. Injuries have kept Landry off the field and he hasn't played since the 2022 season with the New Orleans Saints. It's uncertain what exactly Landry has left in the tank to offer an NFL team. It's worth noting that the Jets signed UFL wideout Isaiah Winstead, which might mean bad news for Landry. However, there could be an injury in camp or an opening elsewhere for Landry before the 2024 season begins.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) "has emerged as a potential trade target," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport notes that the lingering hamstring injury and the $23 million in salary owed to Ridley could complicate a trade, but that teams remain interested in acquiring him nonetheless. The 30-year-old has been underwhelming with Tennessee this year, catching just 16 passes for 290 yards through six games. His best outing came in Week 6 when he caught five of 10 targets for 131 yards, but other than that, he hasn't exceeded four catches or 8.7 fantasy points (PPR). A fresh start could be exactly what Ridley needs to bounce back and fulfill the expectations of his lofty four-year, $92 million contract extension.
