The Tennessee Titans will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. 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 Calvin Ridley in Week 2?
The good news for Calvin Ridley managers is that Patrick Surtain can only play for one franchise. Tennessee’s WR1 had to deal with the best corner in the sport last week, and while he did well to earn eight targets, the 6.7 PPR points wasn’t helpful.
The Rams are no picnic of a matchup, and they just bottled up Nico Collins for four quarters, but I’m OK with buying some Ridley stock right now.
The target volume was good to see in Cam Akers’ debut, and I’m a believer that if he can continue to earn looks at a rate like that, he’ll return flex value more often than not.
I’m not going out of my way to play him in this spot (WR41), but if Akers continues to lock in on his lone reliable pass catcher, Ridley could crack my top-30 or so next week (vs. Colts).
