Titans D/ST Should Be Left On Waivers In Week 1
3 months agoThe Tennessee Titans defense will face 2024 No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in Week 1. This unit was at or below average in most statistical categories last season, leading to a No. 26 finish among fantasy defenses. The Titans signed some big names for their secondary, including star cornerbacks L'Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie, as well as veterans Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams. This should immediately give them a borderline top-10 secondary and help force more turnovers through the air. Defensive tackle Denico Autry is gone, along with his 11.5 sacks, but Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landry are back in the mix along with 2024 second-round pick T'Vondre Sweat, who should be an impact run-stopper. Chicago presents a stiff test with two elite receivers in Keenan Allen and DJ Moore, along with 2024 No. 9 overall pick Rome Odunze to form one of the best receiving corps in the league. Williams hasn't played a regular-season snap yet, but he has all the tools to succeed sooner rather than later. Throw in D'Andre Swift, and you have countless weapons on offense, which should prompt fantasy managers to leave this unit on waivers for Week 1.
