Welcome back football fans. Yesterday was Sunday, so we
rested. And today we continue through the AFC South looking at the Tennessee
Titans. The Titans are an interesting team as they could be really good but
they also could be really bad, both on the football field and on your fantasy
team. But we’re here to talk about fantasy for now, so let’s begin.
Jake Locker: Despite inconsistent play Jake Locker is the
guy in Tennessee. Last year he threw 10 TDs and 11 INTs with 2176 yards. Doesn’t
exactly inspire confidence does it? Unless he takes a big step forward I would
leave him alone. Also worth noting, should Locker ever go down his back up is
Ryan Fitzpatrick who has proven to be a solid fantasy QB.
Chris Johnson and Shonn Greene: Chris Johnson is the kind of
back that is truly hit or miss. When he’s on he puts up very good numbers but
when he plays bad he’s really bad. For example in his first three games his
rushing yards were 4, 17, and 24. Then in week 4 he gets 141 yards. The next
week he gets only 24 yards. And then he gets 91 and 195 yards in weeks 6 and 7.
And the trend continues in this fashion. The best advice I can offer you is to
choose your matchups wisely. As for Shonn Greene he won’t take away from Chris
Johnson’s value because Greene will function as the short yardage/goal line back,
something Chris Johnson has never really done. And even though Greene played
with the Jets last season he was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise
inept offense. However if the Titans’ offense doesn’t improve then Greene’s
value will be limited.
Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright, Nate Washington: This is a
pretty solid group of receivers, each of them pulled in 4 TDs. However with
Locker under center their production has left something to be desired. Kenny
Britt is meant to be the number one receiver in this offense however he has only
played a whole season once. Last season he missed two games but he finished as
the third best receiver on the team with only 589 yards. Kendall Wright had a solid
rookie season gaining 626 yards. And Nate Washington, who will be entering his
ninth season, led the team in receiving with 746 yards. As it stands, none of
these guys are better than a flex option, but if Jake Locker takes a step forward
then their status could elevate.
Rob Bironas: Bironas is an average kicker. He’s shown he can
make the long field goal but at the same time he is just as likely to miss it.
Plus the Titans offense is not good enough to warrant using him.
And that's all for the Titans. They are certainly an intriguing team to consider this off season. Let us know what you think about them with a comment. Until next time, best wishes.
