Titans have ruled out WR Calvin Ridley for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots due to his hamstring injury.

Related Players: Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson, Tyler Lockett, Chimere Dike

We could continue to see a little more run out of rookie Dike, but the real beneficiary here is classmate Ayomanor, who is a nice Flex option against a Patriots defense that ranks 27th in WR aFPA.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley left Sunday’s game against the Raiders with a hamstring injury.

Ridley suffered the injury in the first half and was originally ruled questionable to return. He is now done for the day. He ends up with just one catch for 18 yards.

The Giants have ruled out there players for TNF against the #Eagles: LB Swayze Bozeman (ankle), LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (hamstring), and WR Darius Slayton (hamstring).

An already-thin pass-catching group gets even thinner in a tough divisional matchup. Jaxson Dart has used his legs effectively through his first two starts, but his ceiling is dangerously low for managers anticipating streaming him.

Robinson, likewise, is a low-ceiling WR3 play, while Johnson can be streamed as a top-15 option at tight end.

Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to play Thursday vs. Eagles, per sources.

Hamstring on a short week is tough. Will be out barring surprising uptick.

Titans activated RB Tyjae Spears off injured reserve in time for him to make a season debut Sunday against the Cardinals.

Related Players: Tony Pollard

We'll see how much run Spears gets, but this is definitely a potential issue for Pollard, who has had great volume, but remains on a bad offense that isn't putting up any points. Spears can be left on benches, but Pollard should be downgraded into RB3-range.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) returned to practice today on a limited basis and is officially questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona.

The last thing Cam Ward needs is *less* firepower, but it looks like he could be playing with a compromised WR1, which lowers his fantasy value to the bottom of the barrel. Ayomanor has been coming along nicely to this point in his rookie season and can be considered a fringe WR3/4 regardless of his teammate's game-time status.

Cardinals RB Trey Benson is being placed on injured reserve due to his knee injury.

Related Players: Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, Bam Knight

Well this escalated quickly. Rumblings around the league have Carter, not Demercado, taking the early-down role while the latter handles third-down snaps, but we wouldn't expect either to have anything near a bell-cow role. This is probably a situation we'd like to watch play out before going all-in with either guy, but they should both be in the RB3/4 range for desperate managers.

Giants star WR Malik Nabers does, in fact, have a torn ACL, the MRI at Hospital for Special Surgery confirmed. He’s out for the season.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson

This actually negatively impacts the entire offense, but the three pass-catchers listed above are the ones who will theoretically get the largest target share boosts. This is terrible news for Jaxson Dart, who exhibited some nice wheels in his first start but will more be missing a stud wide receiver. Robinson should be considered in the WR2/3 range moving forward.

After being a limited practice participant Wednesday, Titans QB Cam Ward was a full practice participant today.

Related Players: Brandon Allen

Brandon Allen is the only other quarterback on the active roster right now, but even if Ward has a setback, Allen's really not worth the add. The Titans' passing offense has averaged 168.6 passing yards per game with only two touchdown passes and 15 sacks through three games. The Texans D/ST is in strong streaming consideration regardless of who starts Week 4.
