News: 7 hours agoRidley recorded five receptions on six targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.

Spin: Ridley saw only six targets for the second consecutive week as both Tyler Boyd and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine earned increased usage in the Tennessee offense. However, his role as the big-play threat remains intact as he broke free for a 63-yard catch early in the second quarter. Ridley now has at least one reception of 20 yards in six consecutive games while also topping 70 receiving yards in four of his last five contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Joining the Titans in free agency via a rich new pact was a bit surprising, and also very interesting. Ridley's return to NFL action in 2023 resulted in a somewhat volatile season in Jacksonville. He had seven games with at least 83 receiving yards and nine with 40 yards or fewer. A sluggish catch rate of 55.9% (lowest among the top 40 in targets) was a key culprit. The Titans paid Ridley handsomely to help open the downfield offense next to DeAndre Hopkins, while aiding Will Levis' progression as a professional passer. Much like last season, a blend of volume and variance is likely the story with Ridley. There will be valleys, but also impressive peaks. Taking on Ridley in the middle rounds on the fringes of WR2 and WR3 pricing could prove rewarding.
