Calvin Ridley Remains Risky For Week 8 Vs. Detroit
4 weeks agoTennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) faces the Detroit Lions in Week 8 NFL action on Sunday. Ridley missed two practices this week but logged a full session on Friday, which helped him avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend. Him and DeAndre Hopkins have split games of being the "alpha" receiver in this offense in terms of target share, but now the latter is now off to join forces with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after being traded this past week. That makes Ridley the clear top option in this passing attack, but he has shown poor chemistry with both Titans quarterbacks to date. It is unclear which signal caller will get the start in Detroit, but regardless of who it is, Ridley would be the ultimate boom-bust play facing a Detroit secondary that concedes the fifth-most points to fantasy WRs on the year. Matchup, game script, and opportunity shift are all looking positive for Ridley in this one, but even with those aligned in the past, he has let fantasy managers down. Ridley is a risky WR3 for the upcoming matchup in Detroit.
