News: 4 days agoRidley caught one pass (on two targets) for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-18 loss to the Ravens.

Spin: Ridley and the rest of the Titans pass catchers took a back seat to rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate, who turned 12 of his targets from Cam Ward into nine catches for 145 yards. Ridley was on the field for 30 of Tennessee's 64 offensive snaps, which was fewer than Tate (54), Wan'Dale Robinson (43) and Elic Ayomanor (40). Ridley is off to a slow start to the 2026 season, accumulating only three catches (on five targets) for 48 yards through four games. The Titans head home for Week 5 against the Texans, whose secondary was torched by CeeDee Lamb in a Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Ridley's second season in Tennessee did not go as planned, as the veteran receiver missed 10 full games and was limited to a career-low 17 receptions. He remained a featured target when healthy (seven-plus targets in his four full games), but that led to only one double-digit fantasy performance. The lost season comes after Ridley delivered consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, finishing both as a top-30 fantasy receiver. Ridley is now 31 years old and has added target competition with Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson in the mix. A Year 2 leap from Cam Ward could get Ridley back into the flex discussion, but it's more likely that he's headed for a reduced role. Ridley is worth no more than a middle-round flier.
