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:
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 (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 QB Cam Ward delivered only 219 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Colts. He threw a pick-six on the Titans’ opening drive.
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.
The Titans list rookie Elic Ayomanor as one of the three starting WRs on their unofficial depth chart for Week 1. Ayomanor is joined by WRs Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett on the first team. Van Jefferson, Chimere Dike, and Bryce Oliver are listed on the second team.
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 Titans selected Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor with the 136th pick of Round Four in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has flashed a physical style at 6’2, 210 pounds and showed that he can run NFL- caliber routes. Ayomanor also displayed excellent body control in contested situations. As a redshirt freshman, Ayomanor led Stanford across the board with 62 catches, 1,013 yards, and 6 TDs. A poor offensive environment contributed to a dip in production last fall: 63-831-6 (on two more targets). 38.3% of his yardage surfaced in only three games. He had a 9.71 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked fourth among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 31.3%, and 31st among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 74.3. He is currently 21 years old with a Breakout Age of 20.2. He ranked seventh among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring 7.43. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Robert Woods.
