It’s hard to find consistent flexible play week in and week out, but sometimes a flexible play falls into your lap thanks to real life circumstances.
Take Calvin Ridley for example. Ridley’s WR companion, DeAndre Hopkins, has since been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. Mason Rudolph, who started Week 8 due to an injured Will Levis, might keep the job.
The result in week 8? Fifteen targets, ten catches, 143 yards. That’s the stuff flex dreams are made of.
Granted, this was a plus for Ridley as the Titans chased the game against the Lions, but hey, we know who the alpha is in this passing game with Hopkins out of town.
How will Ridley follow up on this performance? See where he lands in our Week 9 flex rankings:
