2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook - Tennessee Titans
Tennessee made some of the splashier off-season moves by adding two legit starters at the same position and ditching a player who some thought were destined for stardom.

Late Round Quarterback Voltron - Streamers Who Can Make a QB1

BALLER MOVE: Target in Last Round CURRENT ADP: 228 ANALYSIS: The Eagles’ defense is not considered to be a particularly appealing unit in fantasy football.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: 213 ANALYSIS: Nelson Agholor was a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but missed three games during his rookie campaign due to an ankle injury and was not heavily utilized by the struggling Eagles offense.
