2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ridley came back from his year-and-a-half absence and proved he can still play, though his lone season with the Jaguars wasn't necessarily a success. He scored eight TDs and had a handful of close-call misses in the end zone, but teammate Christian Kirk was otherwise more productive before suffering a season-ending injury Week 13, and Ridley barely snuck over 1,000 yards in 17 games while finishing with a career-low 55.9 percent catch rate. The Titans, led by new coach Brian Callahan, apparently believe the 2018 first-round pick can get back toward his 1,374-yard peak from 2020 in Atlanta, having signed Ridley to a four-year, $92 million contract with 51 percent of the money guaranteed at signing. There were certainly signs of the old Ridley last year, though his volume was disappointing when Kirk was healthy (6.9 targets per game) and his efficiency then plummeted from 8.7 YPT to 5.9 when he got far more volume (10.0 targets) in Kirk's absence the final six games. His comments after signing suggest Ridley expects to move around the formation more often this year, which could be especially helpful given that he's thin (6-1, 190) and managed just 5.9 YPT against press coverage last year. On the other hand, a move to Tennessee means uncertainty at QB with second-year pro Will Levis and major target competition from WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd. It's not clear a 29-year-old Ridley is better than a 32-year-old Hopkins, though the latter's presence should at least free up the former to focus on his strengths and take fewer reps against top cornerbacks using press coverage.

RANKS
Keeps momentum
Ridley recorded five receptions (on eight targets) for 73 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Ridley remained a focal point of the Tennessee offense and now has drawn at least eight targets in four consecutive games. His production in that span has varied widely, though he managed a 25-yard gain early in the second quarter while also accounting for 30 yards on two catches on Tennessee's game-winning drive in overtime. While he hasn't scored since Week 2 and has only one 100-yard performance for the season, Ridley's production generally has trended positively as the campaign has progressed.

2018
Last seen in October 2021, Ridley has a few things working in his favor as he tries to rebound from some mental health struggles and a year-long gambling suspension. A change of scenery could help, especially when his new home features pass-loving coach Doug Pederson and talented young quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The Jags also have target competition in the form of WRs Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and TE Evan Engram, but none has shown anywhere near the type of talent Ridley displayed in 2020 when he put up 1,374 yards and nine TDs in 15 games for the Falcons. An offense that found 202 combined targets last season for Zay Jones and Marvin Jones (now in Detroit) shouldn't have any trouble getting Ridley well into triple digits if he's still the same player from 2020 and early 2021. Of course, that's no guarantee, as results have been mixed with players who have long layoffs from the game, even those in their physical primes (Ridley turns 29 in December).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Catching passes from Rudolph
Ridley, who is looking to bounce back from a zero-catch performance against the Colts in Week 6, will be catching passes from Mason Rudolph on Sunday against the Bills after Will Levis was ruled out due to a shoulder injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ridley signed a four-year deal with the Titans in March after playing with the Jaguars in 2023, during which he accrued 76 catches on 136 targets for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. He is nowhere close to matching those numbers through the first five games of 2024, however, and his zero catches in Week 6 highlighted the Titans' struggles on offense. Levis' injury to his throwing shoulder restricted the throws he could make against the Colts, so Ridley could have more success catching passes from a healthy Rudolph.
