It still sickens me that I selected Calvin Ridley over Malik Nabers last season as my WR3. I tried using the Will Levis excuse to pacify my frayed emotions, but it didn't work well. Be that as it may, Ridley will be working with the best QB he's had since Matt Ryan during his Atlanta Falcon days (and yes, that includes Trevor Lawrence). The Titans' defense is expected to be in the bottom-third of the league in 2025, meaning Tennessee will have no other choice but to toss the rock to keep up on the scoreboard.
To what degree Cam Ward will help fortify Ridley's productivity will, of course, help determine Ridley's viability as a player fantasy managers can bank on in 2025. If Ward is solid and looks like he belongs (concepts Levis couldn't grasp in 2024), Ridley can return to fantasy-worthiness. But if he encounters rookie struggles throughout the season, Ridley will return to the fringe-starter role he played in the fantasy realm in 2024. No other player on Tennessee's offense is tied more to Cam Ward's development than Ridley. Keep that in mind when you select him in the middle rounds.

Calvin Ridley plays a part-time role in Week 4 HC told reporters that WR was "fighting through something" vs. HOU By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 29, 9:40 pm

FFToday's Take: Ridley did not appear on the injury report, so it is possible that a personal issue or illness happened at some point over the weekend. Although there has been nothing easy about the defenses Ridley has faced so far this season, it has become almost comical how poor his connection with Cam Ward has been (10-of-24). Although the Cardinals present perhaps the easiest matchup Tennessee has faced thus far, Ridley needs to be on the bench in most fantasy leagues now.
