        Calvin Ridley Springs Back to Life ... Can it Last?

        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.

        Ridley secured catches of 47, 38, and 25 yards, the team's three longest gains for the game. The No. 4 play was also a Ridley target, but Arizona intercepted that one and then fumbled into the end zone, allowing the Titans to recover for a TD.

        Ridley had no more than one catch on any of the three late scoring drives and tallied 2 receptions for 38 yards in the first half. That came despite QB Cam Ward going just 5-of-16 for 58 yards in the first half.

        The rookie QB then went 16-of-23 for 207 yards and just that one INT in the second half.

        The 265 yards easily marked a season high for Ward, who's still averaging just 175.8 per contest.

        Ridley's market shares for the game looked like this:

        • 27% of targets
        • 24% of receptions
        • 49% of receiving yards

        He and Ward undoubtedly benefited from facing a meh Arizona defense missing CBs Garrett Williams (IR since mid-September) and Max Melton.

        There's another upside spot at the Raiders in Week 6, but it'll still be tough to bet on the Tennessee passing game. Ridley's working on just a 44% catch rate through five weeks.
