        Calvin Ridley Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He could miss multiple games with this hamstring injury. Tennessee’s bye comes in Week 10. Ridley’s absence leaves rookie Elic Ayomanor as the Titans’ top WR, but he remains an iffy fantasy play in an offense averaging just 184 passing yards per game.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. We haven't gotten any details on the severity of his injury, but consider Ridley a long shot to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. That'd leave rookie Elic Ayomanor as the No. 1 WR in this struggling offense. Ayomanor sits just 48th in our Week 7 WR rankings.

        The Titans fired HC Brian Callahan. He finishes his tenure with a 4-19 record. This year’s Titans are sitting at 1-5 with a league-worst -78 point differential. Tennessee's offense ranks:

        • 31st in points per game
        • 32nd in yards per game
        • 31st in EPA per play

        Callahan isn’t completely to blame, of course. The offensive line has struggled, the pass-catching corps is underwhelming, and QB Cam Ward has played like a rookie. We’ll see who the Titans tab as interim HC, but OC Nick Holz and QBs coach Bo Hardegree figure to be in charge of the offense. Hardegree has called plays the last three weeks, leading the team to 32 total points. The offense can’t get much worse post-Callahan, but we’re not counting on it getting significantly better any time soon.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley injured his right hamstring in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He's remained on the sidelines with a heating pack on the hammy and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

        Update: Ridley has been ruled out.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley delivered easily his best performance of the season so far in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, and it wasn't just a matter of loading up on targets amid a desperate comeback effort. Ridley tallied 5 receptions for 131 yards on 10 targets, leading the team in each category and nearly tripling his nearest teammate in yardage.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is active for today’s game against the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% for this one. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer said this morning that Ridley will “probably be limited.”

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is expected to play vs. the Cardinals today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "But the team still needs to see how he feels pre-game first," Schefter adds. Ridley got in just a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. He sits 72nd among WRs in PPR points through four weeks.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. A big disappointment through four weeks, a banged-up Ridley should not be in Week 5 fantasy lineups. His absence would make WR Elic Ayomanor a more intriguing flier.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (knee, elbow) did not practice on Wednesday. Although there wasn't an injury announced during last week's loss to the Texans, Ridley played a season-low 54% of the snaps in that one. Even a healthy Ridley has been a major bust so far this season, so hopefully you don't need him in Week 5 fantasy lineups. His absence would open up more target opportunity for WR Elic Ayomanor.

        There was some optimism ahead of Tennessee's Week 4 game in Houston as the Titans felt like they had a good shot at securing their first win against the 0-3 Texans. But another anemic performance by Tennessee's 31st-ranked offense resulted in a 26-0 defeat to drop the Titans to 0-4.

        Tennessee mustered only 175 yards of offense and failed to run a single play in the red zone despite trailing the game by only six points in the fourth quarter.

        Titans HC Brian Callahan is handing off play-calling duties to QBs coach Bo Hardegree. It's an interesting decision to go with Hardegree rather than OC Nick Holz. The Titans offense has been a mess through three games, ranking 28th in points, 31st in total yards, and dead last in yards per play. The offensive line has struggled with injuries to OT J.C. Latham and G Kevin Zeitler, while WR Calvin Ridley has been far too quiet. Hardegree's only play-calling experience came in nine games for the 2023 Raiders as interim OC. That team averaged 22.9 points per game under Hardegree -- up from 15.8 over the first eight games. We'll see what Hardegree does for the Titans going forward, but it's tough to imagine the offense getting any worse. The unit should at least benefit from an easier schedule after Week 4. Tennessee has opened with a gauntlet of defenses: Broncos, Rams, Colts, Texans.

        Titans rookie WR Elic Ayomanor caught his first career TD pass in Sunday's loss to the Rams. That 9-yard TD capped a 4-56-1 receiving line on six targets. Ayomanor tied Chig Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley for the team lead in that category.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley hauled in all three of his targets for 50 yards in Tennessee’s Week 1 preseason contest against the Buccaneers on Saturday. His rapport with rookie QB Cam Ward continues to grow, an encouraging sign for both the Tennessee offense and fantasy football drafters.

        Titans rookie QB Cam Ward has endured an “up and down” training camp so far, per team reporter Jim Wyatt.

        The Titans waived injured WR Treylon Burks on Monday. He sustained a broken collarbone in practice on the 26th. The Titans will move forward with Calvin Ridley as the clear No. 1 WR, with Tyler Lockett, Van Jefferson, Elic Ayomanor, and Chimere Dike battling for targets.

        Titans QB Cam Ward is “everything the Titans hoped for, off the field,” per The Athletic’s Joe Rexrode. Ward has also impressed with his performance in offseason practices.

        The forecast for today's Titans-Jaguars game calls for an 85-95% chance of rain throughout the contest. There's lightning in the area, so we could even see this one delayed for a bit. Winds are expected to come in around 10 mph with gusts of 20-30. That's enough to impact some deep passes and kicks. WRs Calvin Ridley and Brian Thomas and TE Chig Okonwko look a bit riskier with this weather, although they can stay in fantasy lineups in most cases. Try to avoid both kickers in this game.

        ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Titans are expected to start QB Mason Rudolph against the Colts this weekend. QB Will Levis bottomed out (again) in the Week 15 loss to the Titans, completing 8 of 12 passes for 89 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs in about 2.5 quarters of action. Rudolph went 21-of-26 for 209 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT the rest of the way. His completion rate (63.0%) and yards per attempt (6.6) are nearly identical to Levis' this season. Rudolph has a bad 3.2% INT rate -- but less bad than Levis' 4.2%. And he's crushing Levis in sack rate (3.8% to 12.4%) Rudolph brings a bit more stability to Tennessee's offense but isn't a significant upgrade.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He sat out Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Ridley will be ready for a full slate of snaps against the Commanders this weekend.

        Titans WR Calvin Ridley (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be ready to go for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders.
