Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I kept going back […]

The Tennessee Titans have downgraded quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, illness) to out for Week 8 against the Houston Texans, and he won't travel with the team. Rookie third-rounder Malik Willis will now make his first career NFL start on Sunday after taking all the starter's repetitions in practice this week. Tannehill sprained his ankle in […]

Malik Willis Could Start Against Texans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis will make his first NFL start against the Houston Texans if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) has to miss the game. Tannehill is officially questionable, so Willis is worth picking up in two-quarterback/superflex leagues ahead of Sunday. While Willis wouldn't likely attempt a ton of passes, he might have a solid floor […]

Ryan Tannehill Questionable Against Texans

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is officially questionable for the Titans' Week 8 game against the Houston Texans. Tannehill was banged up in Week 7 and logged limited practices this week, so there's a real chance he could miss this game. If he's out, Malik Willis would make his first career start as a […]

Austin Hooper Has Low Ceiling In Week 8

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper is not a great fantasy play in Week 8, even after having his best game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts last week. Houston is just a neutral matchup for tight ends, and with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) banged up, this will likely be a run-heavy and almost run-only […]

Titans Defense A Strong Week 8 Streamer

The Tennessee Titans defense picked off Colts quarterback Matt Ryan twice last week, returning one for a touchdown, and could be in line for another strong game against Houston. The Titans pass rush is coming alive and its secondary is starting to settle in. Ultimately, the positive outlook is based on a poor and ineffective […]

Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 8

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has delivered two solid fantasy performances in 2022, but with a projected point total of just 40.5 in this Titans-Texans contest, it's tough to project a high-upside week for the veteran kicker. Bullock could deliver if the Titans are stalled in the red zone a few times, but this game […]

Robert Woods Has Low Floor Versus Texans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods has only had one fantasy-friendly performance thanks to grabbing a touchdown reception, and that appears to be his only path to fantasy relevance in Week 8. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is banged up and since Houston allows the most rushing yards per game, this should be a Derrick Henry monster-touch […]

Derrick Henry Has Overall RB1 Ceiling

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is poised for a huge day in his first meeting with the AFC South-rival Houston Texans. In his last three games against Houston, Henry has rushed for 673 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging just over 7.6 yards per carry. In 2022, Houston has allowed the most rushing yards per […]
