Calvin Ridley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Despite the fact that Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) did not practice on Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky reports that the expectation is that Ridley will return to practice on Thursday and be good to go for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Detroit Lions. The 29-year-old pass catcher was only able to haul in three of his team-leading nine targets for 42 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills with quarterback Mason Rudolph making the start. He just hasn't been able to make much of an impact in a Titans offense that has struggled to move the ball consistently under second-year QB Will Levis (shoulder). Rudolph doesn't give Ridley much more upside heading into his second straight start against Detroit, although Hopkins leaving town in a trade doesn't hurt. Through six games in 2024, Ridley ranks 73rd among wideouts with 6.5 half-PPR points per game.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught three passes for 42 yards in the 34-10 blowout loss to Buffalo on Sunday. After the infamous eight-target, zero-catch game vs. Indy, Ridley was able to gain positive yardage in this one but only caught three of his nine targets, recording a couple of drops in the process. The nightmare stretch continues for Ridley who also had multiple deep shots come up empty from quarterback Mason Rudolph. All the chatter of the coaching staff wanting to get Ridley the ball more did not pan out. This could possibly be the least fantasy-friendly offense in the league right now and Ridley is no exception. Up next are the Detroit Lions in Week 8.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley has struggled of late, with the 29-year-old catching just two of his 14 targets in the last three games. With Will Levis (shoulder) having issues connecting with Ridley on deep routes, offensive coordinator Nick Holz suggested a different strategy to how he'll be used moving ahead. "Maybe some shorter routes for him," said Holz in an interview. "Screens. I think we need to do a couple more of those." It remains to be seen how impactful this new approach will be. However, it appears the coaching staff is at least cognisant of Ridley's frustrations, so he may be more involved in Week 7 against the Bills.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 NFL action on Sunday. Ridley's ghastly performance in Week 6 set a new standard for this porous passing attack, as the veteran logged eight targets but did not record a single reception, with most of the targets classified as "uncatchable." The $92M receiver now has 141 receiving yards and nine catches through five games with Tennessee, both ranking outside the top 100 league-wide. His fantasy prospects are near rock-bottom at the moment with quarterback Will Levis struggling beyond all belief. Ridley will now face a Buffalo pass defense in Week 7 that is eighth-best at stopping opposing WRs. It's best to leave the Ridley on fantasy benches unless we see some kind of hope in this Titans passing attack.

After Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley had zero catches in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, head coach Brian Callahan said the team has "to find ways to get him involved, so he can help us win." It wasn't as though the Titans didn't try to get him involved in their 20-17 loss (he was targeted a team-high eight times), but he just wasn't able to connect with struggling quarterback Will Levis at all. The 29-year-old carried the ball once for a nine-yard gain. Along with Tennessee's ugly offense, Ridley's fantasy stock has tanked in the last three games, as he has two catches for 14 yards on 14 targets over that span. The good news for Ridley is that the Titans aren't going to stop trying to get him the ball, but he's going to need to improve his catch rate drastically to get out of his current rut. Fantasy managers need to stick with Ridley for another week against the Buffalo Bills.
