Fantasy Football Week 5 Inactives: Updates on Ridley, Dissly, and Spears
fantasy managers are facing last-minute decisions as Week 5 approaches, with several key players’ statuses uncertain. Updates on wide receiver Calvin Ridley (TEN), tight end Will Dissly (LAC), and running back Tyjae Spears (TEN) are crucial for setting lineups. The Tennessee Titans‘ offensive struggles add another layer of complexity too Ridley’s outlook,while the Los Angeles Chargers could see a boost with Dissly potentially available.
These injury situations impact not only starting roster spots but also potential waiver wire pickups and trade considerations. Spears’ return from IR presents a challenge for determining the Titans’ backfield pecking order, and Ridley’s limited practice participation raises concerns about his effectiveness even if he plays. Staying informed on these developments is essential for maximizing fantasy points this week and navigating the evolving NFL landscape.
Here’s a breakdown of the latest news:
* Will Dissly, TE, LAC (knee): A full practice participation on Friday suggests Dissly is on track to play Sunday.
* Tyjae Spears, RB, TEN (ankle): Spears has been activated from Injured Reserve, but may require another week to regain full game form. Fantasy managers should consider having a backup plan in place.
* Calvin Ridley, WR, TEN (knee): Despite a potential return, Ridley’s fantasy value is tempered by the Titans’ offensive issues. Elic Ayomanor emerges as a potentially safer fantasy option, and tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson could see increased snaps regardless of Ridley’s availability.
