Rishard Matthews Fantasy Stats

The New York Jets are signing free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews on Tuesday, according to a source. Matthews fell out of favor with the new coaching staff in Tennessee despite going for 65 catches, 945 yards and nine touchdowns just two seasons ago. There is opportunity in New York with Quincy Enunwa (ankle) out a few weeks and Terrelle Pryor no longer on the roster. Still, the Jets also have Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse, so it remains to be seen if Matthews can carve out a fantasy-relevant role in this inconsistent offense led by rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. For now, Matthews is only worthy of a stash in much deeper leagues.

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews worked out with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Although he left without a deal, Matthews would be an interesting option for an otherwise barren wide receiver depth chart. Regardless of whether or not Matthews gets signed, the Cardinals have yet to show that they are capable of producing fantasy relevant receivers. Currently, the best option is rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk, who projects as a flex option in deep leagues.

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews has workouts planned with the Cleveland Browns on Monday and the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Matthews was curiously not being used by Tennessee's new coaching staff, so he asked for and was granted his release. He is just two years removed from a 945-yard, nine-touchdown season, so Matthews can still contribute in the right situation, and both Cleveland and Arizona would likely give him a sizeable role in their offenses. If Matthews is available in your league, you may want to consider stashing him if you have the room and need help at receiver.

The Tennessee Titans are "doubtful" to be able to trade disgruntled wide receiver Rishard Matthews, according to a source. With Matthews voluntarily leaving the team because of his frustration over his role on the offense, the Titans will likely work out a release for the wide receiver. Matthews has just three receptions on six targets for 11 yards through three weeks despite being one of their best receivers the last two years. He had a combined 13 touchdowns in 2016 and 2017, including nine in a breakout 2016 campaign. The 28-year-old was hurt in the offseason and in training camp, but he's healthy now. The Titans coaching staff didn't have him in their game plan, though, and Taywan Taylor has become the No. 2 wideout behind Corey Davis. Matthews can be dropped in all formats.

Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews is unhappy with his role in the offense and has left the team. His future in the organization is uncertain. Matthews missed the offseason program with an Achilles issue and then had a torn meniscus early in training camp that held him back. He has just three catches for 11 yards in the first three games. Ive been the leading receiver for two years, Matthews continued. Then all of a sudden Im barely playing and not even starting. Using my injury as the scapegoat. Look at number of snaps and targets. Matthews is expected to ask for a release. He caught 53 passes for 795 yards and four touchdowns in 2017 after going for 65 catches, 945 yards and nine touchdowns in 2016. With Matthews now out of the picture, the Titans will lean on receivers Corey Davis, Taywan Taylor and Tajae Sharpe. Darius Jennings and Nick Williams will vie for the fourth and fifth spots. Davis is really the only wideout on this team worth consideration for a starting spot, and even then it's a WR4/flex spot with quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) playing at less than 100 percent. If you hadn't done so already, Matthews needs to be dropped in all leagues.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews missed practice on Wednesday due to a personal reason, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Matthews has just three catches on six targets for 11 yards in three weeks and has been an afterthought in this offense to begin the year. That could change over time, but Matthews is wasting a bench spot on fantasy rosters right now.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews continued to be a non-factor in the passing game in Week 3 as the Titans took on the Jacksonville Jaguars. The once-reliable Matthews finished with one catch for three yards, bringing his 2018 totals to a horrid two catches for eight yards. It appears the offseason injury has really slowed Matthews down to start the season, and with Corey Davis, Taywan Taylor, and Tajae Sharpe all showing more than Matthews thus far, he is definitely safe to drop in redraft formats.

After missing so much time in training camp and the preseason with a torn meniscus, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews (knee) knows his repetitions early in the year could be limited. That is the kind of the plan, so wherever they need me, he said. The young guys have been doing good, so wherever they need me to contribute, I am ready to go in there and do what I have to do. Matthews has led the team with 1,740 yards and 13 touchdowns in the last two seasons, but Corey Davis will take over the No. 1 role this year. Matthews should still be owned in most leagues, but he isn't a viable fantasy starter for Week 1 against his old team, the Dolphins.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews (knee) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report against the Dolphins. Matthews was on the Physically Unable to Perform list for most of training camp, so he'll be notably behind Corey Davis and Taylor Lewan heading into the season opener. To be safe, fantasy owners should shy away from Matthews this weekend, as he'll likely have his snaps limited.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews is listed as one of the two starting wide receivers on the Week 1 depth chart. Matthews, who returned to practice just last week, has been a favorite target of quarterback Marcus Mariota over the last few seasons. While the rise of Corey Davis throughout training camp does put a damper on Matthews' upside in the new offense, he will still have a solid role. Matthews is best suited on your bench until we are able to get a better look at both the new offense and his health, but it would not be surprising for Matthews to carry appeal as a WR3 at some point in the season.
