Calvin Ridley - 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers and Offseason Winners

Calvin Ridley is a dynasty fantasy football riser and offseason winner for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the Tennessee Titans wide receiver.

RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: WR49

Dynasty Analysis: The Tennessee Titans' wide receiver depth chart, as it currently stands, isn't impressive. The new regime in Tennessee replaced touchdown machine Nick Westbrook-Ikhine with Van Jefferson (on his fourth team since 2023) and 32-year-old Tyler Lockett. Former first-round pick Treylon Burks caught four passes in five games last season. A pair of day three draft picks joined the fold: Florida's Chimere Dike and Stanford's Elic Ayomanor. It's the Calvin Ridley show.

Not to say it wasn't a similar case last season. Ridley more than doubled Westbrook-Ikhine in the yardage department (1,017 to 497) and commanded 50 more targets than the next pass-catcher, tight end Chig Okonkwo (120 to 70).

But the biggest boon to Ridley's stock is the changes to the quarterback room. 2023 second-round pick Will Levis was a disaster, committing more giveaways than touchdowns and leading Tennessee to a 2-10 record in 12 starts. Veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph filled in the gaps, whether due to Levis' injuries or benching. He was marginally better (1-4 record) with a one-to-one touchdown-to-turnover ratio.

Just 71 out of Ridley's 120 targets were catchable (59.2%), and he led all wide receivers in unrealized air yards. As much as he was involved in the offense, getting the football in his hands was challenging.

While first overall pick Cam Ward should help in that department, the offense is still a work in progress. That places Ridley as a safer-than-last-year WR3 heading into the summer. That makes him a clear offseason winner and potential dynasty trade target.
