What Did Will Levis Do Last Week?
Tennessee Titans quarterback missed the team's Week 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons with a sprained ankle. Leading up to the game, there was talk that the Titans might employ a platoon approach at QB with Malik Willis and rookie Will Levis.
Willis ended up taking just two offensive snaps in the game though, as Levis looked poised in his NFL debut. He was 19-for-29 for 238 yards with four touchdowns in the 28-23 victory.
Now, Levis is set to start again for the Titans on Thursday night when the team takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Should he be in your fantasy lineup for that contest?
Will Levis Waiver Wire Outlook for Week 9
Will Levis will get the Week 9 start for the Titans. At this point, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Tennessee turn to Levis even after Tannehill returns from his ankle injury, as he provided a huge boost to this offense in Week 8.
Fantasy managers in a two-QB or superflex league should add Levis because of his upside, though in one-QB leagues he can still be left on the waiver wire for now. It was a great NFL debut for the rookie out of Kentucky, but the Titans aren't an offense that throws a lot, with the team averaging 27.7 pass attempts per game, the fewest in the NFL.
Add in some likely growing pains for Levis and there's not much reason to trust him in one-QB leagues yet. He might be the future franchise QB for the Titans, but his short-term outlook remains murky.
