The Tennessee Titans (1-5) will host the New England Patriots (4-2) in Week 7. 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 7?
Prior to getting fired, Brian Callahan said Calvin Ridley couldn’t run following his second-quarter hamstring injury last week.
That’s not great.
Either part of that sentence.
Not being able to move is a problem, but so is the firing of a coach who would be more inclined to focus on a veteran in an effort to keep his job short-term than one with an interim label.
It’s been all or nothing for Ridley with Cam Akers this season (18.1 yards per catch, 45.7% catch rate), a role that carries a ton of risk as it is and now, I can’t imagine being tempted to go this direction.
Elijah Cooks is the rookie that has the most to gain, while Van Jefferson led this team in receiving yards and targets in the 20-10 loss to the Raiders. We could argue as to which Titans stand to peak in the second half of this tanked season, but we’d be largely chasing our tail: if you can get away with rostering no one attached to this organization, your team is likely better off for it.
