Malik Willis Benched, Joshua Dobbs To Start Thursday
2 years agoThe Tennessee Titans are expected to bench rookie quarterback Malik Willis and will start third-stringer Joshua Dobbs on Thursday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. Willis made his third NFL start in the Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans and went 14-for-23 for just 99 yards while carrying the ball seven times for 43 yards and a touchdown. Dobbs was just signed to Tennessee's practice squad off the Detroit Lions practice squad on Dec. 21. He has never started an NFL game and has played in just six games in two seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers, going 10-for-17 for 45 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. The Titans are essentially resting most of their starters ahead of a win-and-in game in Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Needless to say, fantasy managers should avoid the Titans offense like the plague on Thursday night.
