Fantasy Football Player Notes

Calvin Ridley quietly returned solid value in 2024, topping 1,000 yards and leading the NFL in air yard share (48%). He surged late in the year, averaging 11.6 points per game (WR26) after DeAndre Hopkins was traded. With Nick Westbrook-Ikhine gone and No. 1 pick Cam Ward stepping in, Ridley remains the clear WR1 in Brian Callahan's offense. He's never finished worse than WR26 in a healthy season, making him a strong bet to beat his ADP again in 2025.

Elic Ayomanor was drafted by the Titans in Round 4. The former Stanford standout brings a rare blend of size (6'2", 206), athleticism (4.4s speed, 82nd percentile jumps), and production - boasting the highest career dominator rating in the class (39%). Ayomanor posted 125 catches for 1,844 yards and 12 TDs across two seasons and flashed true X-receiver traits. In Tennessee, he lands in a WR room headlined by veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, presenting Ayomanor a realistic chance to rise the depth chart quickly and become Cam Ward's favorite rookie WR.
