Calvin Ridley vs Quentin Johnston: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Calvin Ridley and Quentin Johnston is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.2 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Calvin Ridley averaged 10.0 PPG with the Tennessee Titans across 16 games, and Quentin Johnston posted 11.2 with the Los Angeles Chargers in 13.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Calvin Ridley turned 95 targets into 785 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Quentin Johnston converted 84 looks into 735 yards and 8 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 Quentin Johnston rests in Week 7. 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.
