Ridley recorded two receptions on seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.
Ridley had been on a strong run of production, though this performance was reminiscent of his struggles earlier in the campaign. He struggled to get on the same page as Will Levis on both long and short-distance targets, with his only catches going for 30 and 15 yards. Positively, Ridley continues to get plenty of opportunities, as he now has at least seven targets in six of his last eight contests.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Practices fully Thursday
Rotowire
Ridley (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to a full practice one day later sets the stage for the wideout to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Through 11 games to date, Ridley -- who has scored three TDs in that span -- leads Titans pass catchers in receptions (41), targets (80) and receiving yards (634). He figures to remain busy once again this weekend on the heels of a 5-93-0 effort on six targets in Tennessee's 32-27 win over the Texans in Week 12.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Back at practice
Rotowire
Ridley (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
After he missed Wednesday's session, Ridley's return to the field a day later bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Titans' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's participation level, but so far there's nothing to suggest that Ridley is in danger of being out this weekend.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Sits out practice with ankle injury
Rotowire
Ridley didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Ridley is tending to the ankle injury after playing 79 percent of the Titans' offensive snaps in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans while finishing with five receptions for 93 yards on six targets. His absence from practice to begin Week 13 prep makes his status worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Commanders, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that Ridley's availability for the contest is in danger.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Tallies 93 yards
Rotowire
Ridley recorded five receptions on six targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.
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.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Ridley had a disappointing game in Week 11 against Minnesota with four catches for 58 yards on six targets, which snapped his three-game streak of scoring at least 12.3 PPR points. It also was his fewest targets since Week 4. I expect him to get back on track in Week 12 against the Texans, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. It might come in garbage time if Houston is playing with a lead, and the Texans have allowed eight receivers to score at least 13.8 PPR points in their past five games. You can also use Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as a sleeper in deeper leagues, and he has five touchdowns in his past six games.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: No injury designation for Week 12
Rotowire
Ridley (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, but he isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday after returning to full practice participation Thursday and Friday. He has excelled since the Titans traded away DeAndre Hopkins, with 358 receiving yards and two touchdowns in four subsequent games.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Turns in full practice
Rotowire
Ridley (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley was held out of the Titans' first Week 12 practice due to the illness, but he felt well enough to take every rep in practice a day later to clear up most of the concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Texans. After being contained for just three catches over a three-game stretch from Weeks 3 through 6, Ridley has been a more reliable contributor for fantasy managers over the ensuing five weeks, producing a 27-400-2 receiving line on 47 targets during that stretch.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Dell comes into Week 12 against Tennessee having scored 9.8 PPR points or less in each of his past two games against Detroit and Dallas. This despite getting at least seven targets in each outing, and he only has four games this season with double digits in PPR points. I'm expecting Nico Collins to go off in this matchup now that he's two games back from his hamstring injury. Dell might score for the third time this season, but without a touchdown he might not have a huge stat line in Week 12.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Ridley won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Though Ridley won't practice Wednesday, head coach Brian Callahan noted that the wideout is expected back for Thursday's session. Assuming he's cleared to play Sunday versus the Texans, Ridley will be in line to lead a Tennessee wideout corps in Week 12 that will also feature Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Gains 58 yards in loss
Rotowire
Ridley brought in four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings.
Ridley was unable to replicate his big scoring day from a week prior, but he still churned out serviceable production Sunday. The 29-year-old's fantasy value has taken a hit overall since he joined the Titans, as he has a 36-541-3 receiving line through 10 games and has eclipsed 85 receiving yards just once all season. Ridley still offers enough juice for those in deeper formats, or even as a Week 12 bye replacement in standard leagues against the Texans next Sunday.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Ridley was reunited with Will Levis in Week 10 at the Chargers, and Ridley surprised us with his best game of the season in a tough matchup. He finished the game with five catches for 84 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets for 25.4 PPR points, and he's now scored at least 22.6 PPR points in two of his past three games. He has five games in a row with at least eight targets, and he's worth trusting as a No. 2 receiver in all leagues against the Vikings, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Two touchdowns in loss
Rotowire
Ridley recorded five receptions on nine targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Ridley had increased his production with Mason Rudolph under center across the past three games, but he managed his best performance of the season with Will Levis back under center in Week 10. Ridley began the contest in impressive form by catching a deep 41-yard touchdown on the Titans' opening possession after he broke free from coverage over the middle of the field. Ridley's second score came in garbage time, but he still easily paced the Titans in targets, receptions and yards. His production could be volatile to close the campaign, but his ability to produce with Levis back under center was encouraging.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Bust Alert
Rotowire
Ridley has played well the past two games since DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Kansas City, and we'll see if he can keep it up in a tough matchup with the Chargers in Week 10. I'm a little skeptical since the Chargers are No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and I would only start Ridley in three-receiver leagues. In his past two games, Ridley has 23 targets for 15 catches and 216 yards, and he scored at least 12.3 PPR points in each outing against the Lions and Patriots. Will Levis (shoulder) could return for the Titans in Week 10, and that's a downgrade for Ridley since only has one game this season with more than eight PPR points with Levis under center. It's great that Ridley has stepped up with Hopkins gone, but I don't want to fully trust Ridley in all leagues against Los Angeles.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Finally gets on track
Rotowire
Ridley recorded 10 receptions on 15 targets for 143 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.
The Titans have been doing everything they can to get Ridley the ball, but he entered Sunday's game with only three catches across 17 targets over the last two games. His outlook brightened in Sunday's loss thanks to big gains of 47 and 26 yards, and he showed at least some modest rapport with Mason Rudolph. Given the state of the Titans' offense, it's difficult to trust Ridley moving forward despite Sunday's positive outcome.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Misses practice with foot injury
Rotowire
Ridley sat out Wednesday's practice with a foot injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Ridley handled his usual workload in a 34-10 loss at Buffalo on Sunday, leading the Titans in targets (nine) and route share (77 percent) but catching just three passes for 42 yards. With the Titans trading DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs on Wednesday, Ridley could end up drawing a few more targets, although volume has been the least of his problems in what's been a dismal Tennessee offense through six games.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Shows mild improvement
Rotowire
Ridley recorded three receptions on nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.
Ridley voiced frustration following a Week 6 loss during which he failed to record a reception on eight targets. He remained highly inefficient in Sunday's loss, though he did manage his highest yardage since Week 2. Even with strong opportunity on a weekly basis, Ridley will be unreliable until the Titans' offense shows some signs of improvement.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Comes up empty on eight targets
Rotowire
Ridley failed to come up with any of his eight targets and rushed once for nine yards in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Ridley logged a team-high target total but somehow failed to come up with any of the passes thrown his way. The veteran is mired in a forgettable three-game stretch during which he's posted a combined 2-14 line on 14 targets, and Will Levis' failure to develop any consistent rapport with the valued offseason addition could help spur a quarterback change to Mason Rudolph ahead of a Week 7 road matchup against the Bills.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Ridley has been a terrible Fantasy receiver this season with one game over 8.0 PPR points, but he has a great matchup in Week 6 against the Colts, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. I like Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins as No. 3 Fantasy options this week since Indianapolis has allowed three pairs of receivers (Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins in Week 1, Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore in Week 3, and Brian Thomas Jr. and Christian Kirk in Week 5) to each score at least 12.8 PPR points in the same game.

Titans' Calvin Ridley: Second straight dud Week 4
Rotowire
Ridley caught one of three targets for five yards and added a 10-yard rush in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Ridley was a non-factor for a second consecutive game. After starting his Titans tenure with 137 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown through two games, Ridley has just 24 total yards in the last two games heading into a Week 5 bye. Ridley will try to get back on track Week 6 against the Colts, though it remains to be seen if he'll be catching passes from Will Levis (shoulder) or Mason Rudolph, the latter of whom had 85 passing yards after replacing the injured Levis in the first quarter Monday.
