Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Calvin Ridley

Saturday, November 8, 5:15 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is in line for another start on Sunday when the team hosts the Los Angeles Rams. The last time the divisional rivals squared off, in Week 5, Bourne exploded for 142 yards on 10 catches. Bourne was pushed to the top of the pecking order in the Niners' passing attack in that game due to the injury-related absences of Ricky Pearsall (knee), Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), and George Kittle. Pearsall will miss a fifth consecutive game in Week 10, but Bourne will share the field with a healthy Jennings and Kittle this time. Since both returned to action in Week 7, Bourne has registered a total of seven catches for 92 yards on eight targets. Bourne projects as a lower-end WR4 in Week 10, making him a flex candidate in deeper leagues but not a must-start by any stretch.

The Tennessee Titans are not shopping wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Davenport's post on X claims to refute other reports that said Ridley was being shopped. However, he does note that the team has been receiving interest in Ridley. Even though the Titans aren't actively trying to move the veteran receiver, he could still be traded if another team makes a fair offer. Such a scenario would open the door for rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike to occupy even larger roles on offense.
