Roster locks: Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett

There is hardly anything needed to be explained here, as these are the only two receivers on the Titans roster that even somewhat resemble the term "headliner." Ridley was signed to a big-money contract last offseason and in spite of everything that went wrong in 2024, he had a 1,000-yard season and will be the team's number one option this Fall.

Lockett, as mentioned, was recently acquired and has had a remarkably consistent and healthy career for 10-plus years. He is certainly on the back end of his career and will not be expected to record the same numbers as he did in his prime, but he should at least be serviceable in 2025.

If absolutely nothing else, Lockett will be a great presence of veteran leadership on a Titans team that desperately needs it.
