Should You Start or Sit Calvin Ridley in Week 16?
In the limited sample with Mason Rudolph this season, Calvin Ridley has as many targets as any two of his teammates combined, but the volume has been empty on all levels.
Titans pass-catchers production with Rudolph, 2024:
- Calvin Ridley: 38 targets, 20 catches, 284 yards, zero TDs
- Chig Okonkwo: 22 targets, 15 catches, 142 yards, zero TDs
- Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: 16 targets, 11 catches, 108 yards, three TDs
- Josh Whyle: 14 catches, 12 targets, 121 yards, one TD
- Tyler Boyd: 12 targets, nine catches, 84 yards, zero TDs
The tight end split is interesting if you’re trying to get exposure to this game to be different in a DFS setting, but outside of that, you’re fading all parts of this passing game. The problem here is that the least targeted players are the most fantasy-efficient — in a low-volume offense, that’s not going to cut it.
There are three big-play receivers this week working with backup QBs, and I have them ranked back-to-back-to-back in the low 40s at the position (Jerry Jeuy and Xavier Worthy being the other two).
