The source expects Ridley to operate as the third option in Tennessee's passing game. His 2025 season was limited by hamstring injury and broken fibula; he only played full-time in Weeks 1-5 with a 19.5% target share, 54.4 receiving yards per game, 1.89 yards per route run, 26.7% first-read share, and 0.076 first downs per route run. The Jets' outside corner tandem of Brandon Stephens (67.1% catch rate, 126.4 passer rating) and Nashon Wright (64.5% catch rate, 98.0 passer rating) doesn't inspire fear, but Cam Ward's rough preseason is a concern. The source is avoiding flexing Ridley in Week 1 for most teams but considers him flex-viable with a nice matchup.
NegativeBustSep 7, 2026FantasyPros Articles
The source identifies Ridley as a bust to avoid, citing his role as Jacksonville's X receiver drawing difficult early-season matchups against elite cornerbacks including Denzel Ward, Patrick Surtain, Christian Gonzalez, DJ Turner, Quinyon Mitchell, Derek Stingley, and Sauce Gardner. Ridley averaged 4.4 targets per game, and the source recommends fading him at draft-day price, suggesting acquisition after a slow opening month or waiting for a potential trade away from Jacksonville as better paths to his value.
