The Tennessee Titans will face the Washington Commanders in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Calvin Ridley.
Is Calvin Ridley Playing in Week 13?
Ridley did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. However, he was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday and Friday and did not carry any injury designation into Week 13.
Ridley has been hampered by other injuries this year and has missed practices, but he’s yet to be sidelined for a game. He became the Titans’ unquestioned WR1 after Tennessee traded DeAndre Hopkins in October. In five games since, Ridley has averaged six catches for 90 yards while scoring twice.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Calvin Ridley in Week 13?
So let me get this straight: The Titans moved on from DeAndre Hopkins, dealt with a Will Levis injury, and now they’ve unlocked the ability to consistently sustain two fantasy receivers?
Sure, why not?
This team has produced a top-20 receiver in five straight weeks, and the sum of Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine’s finishes over that stretch hasn’t once risen above 58.
Ridley remains the far more projectable of the two, and that is what has earned him a high-end Flex grade for me this week against a Washington defense that blitzes at a top-seven rate but succeeds in getting pressure on those plays at a bottom-seven rate.
For me, that means single-coverage situations, and we know Levis, for better or worse, is willing to give his talented tandem a chance to win those 50/50 balls. The Westbrook-Ikhine scoring barrage feels like a house of cards to me, but this Ridley run has some staying power, and this isn’t the week I’d advise jumping off.
