Calvin Ridley vs Cedric Tillman: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Calvin Ridley and Cedric Tillman is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Tennessee Titans wide receiver put up 10.0 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Cedric Tillman of the Cleveland Browns averaged 8.2 in 14. A 1.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.8 points favors Calvin Ridley, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Calvin Ridley turned 95 targets into 785 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Cedric Tillman converted 78 looks into 612 yards and 4 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Calvin Ridley has his bye in Week 5, and Cedric Tillman rests in Week 10. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
