Calvin Ridley Fantasy Football Outlook

Last week's performance marked the 29-year-old's fifth consecutive game with at least eight targets, demonstrating the consistent volume fantasy managers look for in a reliable starter. Ridley is a focal point in the Titans' passing attack, and his opportunities should continue in Week 11.

This week, the Titans face the Minnesota Vikings, a defense that has struggled mightily against wide receivers. The Vikings concede the second-most fantasy points per game to the position, setting Ridley up for another productive day.

The Vikings secondary has been susceptible to big plays, and their strong run defense often forces teams to lean on the passing game. This matchup creates an ideal situation for the wideout to thrive for the Titans.

The improvement in quarterback play has fueled Ridley's resurgence. While Mason Rudolph got Ridley involved, the receiver has been even more effective with Levis. With the Vikings' secondary struggling to contain opposing wideouts, Ridley should once again be a focal point for Tennessee's aerial attack.

In addition to his increased production, the former first-rounder's role as the Titans' top receiving option is firmly established. Over the past five weeks, he has averaged nine targets per game and has been a consistent presence in the red zone.
