The Tennessee Titans will host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Calvin Ridley.

Should You Start or Sit Ridley in Week 12?
The Titans wasted no time in announcing that Ridley did break his fibula during the loss to the Texans last week.
This is obviously a bummer, though fantasy managers had long since moved on from him as a viable flex option. He turns 31 in December, and while the premature end to his season isn’t ideal, the teal eaves suggest he should be healthy enough this offseason to work out for teams and try to earn a short-term deal.
We’ve seen good teams (think Baltimore and Buffalo) try to patchwork their WR room in the past with a past-his-prime athlete like this. I’m not sure that Ridley has much left in the tank, but I’m not willing to say that the version of him we saw this year with a rookie QB is predictive either.
Track his progress during the spring. Right now, his name holds more value than his production, but in the right spot, I could see him being a reasonable pick late in redraft leagues.
