The Tennessee Titans will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. 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 15?
Ridley is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he will play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Calvin Ridley in Week 15?
You can be worried about this Titans passing game all you want, but you can’t sweat Ridley’s usage. The team’s clear-cut WR1 has caught a deep pass in six of his past seven games and, since the middle of October, has five games with at least five targets 15+ yards downfield.
We obviously want to marry quality and quantity when it comes to targets, but a high number of chances can be enough when discussing an elite athlete like Ridley.
Last week, we got more evidence that the Bengals still lack the ability to take away top options. The similarly limited Cowboys marched down the field to open Monday Night Football with three of Cooper Rush’s completions, including the 11-yard touchdown, going in the direction you’d expect — CeeDee Lamb.
Lamb finished with the best WR stat line produced against the Bengals this season and continued the theme of big-play receivers piling up PPR points against Cincy.
The QB limitations make it impossible for me to rank Ridley as a WR1, but he’s a rock-solid WR2 whom I rank in the same range as other stars in limited offenses (Malik Nabers and Davante Adams).
