It's almost identical to his line last week, but at least this one came with the Titans game-scripting the Dolphins to the point where they barely needed to throw. Ridley is making so much money we almost have to believe he'll have some WR3 games down the stretch after his Week 5 bye, but 141 yards in four games is not an exciting result at the quarter pole.
The veteran led the Titans in targets, catches, and receiving yards. He hauled in a few tough catches in traffic, but he also looked cleaner in and out of his breaks than he has in the first two weeks. We know that the veteran is battling through a knee sprain, but it looked like he might be getting closer to full strength. With Calvin Ridley attracting a lot of defensive attention, Hopkins could put up solid numbers working over the middle of the field for Levis if he continues to get healthier.
Ridley was operating mainly as a deep threat on Sunday, but the Titans' offensive line was beaten all game long by the Packers so Will Levis didn't have time to let any of Ridley's routes develop. It was surprising that the Titans didn't try to get Ridley involved in the running game or screen game like they did last week, but perhaps that's something they can do moving forward if the deep routes aren't there. It's too early to panic on Ridley after his great game in Week 2.
Ridley brought in four of six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 10 yards and another score in the Titans' 24-17 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Boyd was targeted on the final pass of the game, which he bobbled and dropped. However, he was also short of the goal line with three defenders around him, so it's highly unlikely he would have punched it in for the game-tying score. While it's nice to see Boyd second to only Calvin Ridley in targets, it's disappointing that he hasn't been able to put up better numbers while DeAndre Hopkins is playing hurt. With Tony Pollard also being heavily involved in the passing game, there will likely be too many mouths to feed with Will Levis at quarterback for Boyd to have any consistent fantasy value in 2024.
