Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Broken Tackle Rate
Like it or not, the life force of your fantasy team usually dwells within the running backs on your roster. Having a stud like Dalvin Cook or Alvin Kamara alone can keep you at the top of the standings even when other players don't pan out. Those left holding the bag on Melvin Gordon, Jonathan […]

Suddenly we are into the 10th week of the season. Week 9 gave us some incredible NFL games along with some incredible individual team performances.

Titans Activate Adoree' Jackson From Injured Reserve
The Tennessee Titans activated cornerback Adoree' Jackson (knee) from Injured Reserve, but he will not play on Thursday night against the Colts. Jackson's return will take a lot of pressure off cornerback Malcolm Butler on the outside, but he won't be able to help them against Indianapolis this week. With the 25-year-old available probably next […]

Corey Davis Looking For Bounce-Back Game
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis posted a goose egg last week after totaling 29 catches for 369 yards and three touchdowns in his first five appearances of the season, and bouncing back won't be easy for Tennessee's No. 2 receiver in Week 10 against a Colts secondary that's allowing only 206.4 passing yards per […]

Jonnu Smith Faces Extremely Challenging Matchup
Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith scored his sixth touchdown of the season last week, but the Titans' top tight end hasn't caught more than two passes in any of his last four games heading into a Week 10 matchup with a Colts Defense that's the only one yet to allow a touchdown to the […]

A.J. Brown Looking To Keep Touchdown Streak Going
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown brings a five-game touchdown streak into a Week 10 home tilt against the Colts, but Tennessee's top receiver won't find extending that streak easy against a defense that's allowing only 20.0 points per game. He's practicing this week and should be started in all league formats. But this matchup […]

Ryan Tannehill Faces Tough Test Against Colts
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown for over 250 yards only twice in eight starts but has tossed multiple touchdown passes seven times, and Tennessee's quarterback is likely to remain reliant on touchdowns for his Week 10 value against a Colts Defense that ranks as the third-stingiest defense in both passing yards (206.4) and […]

Derrick Henry Looking To Get Back On Track
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had a five-game touchdown streak snapped last week, but he still has eight rushing scores in the past six games and is set to resume his workhorse role for the Titans in Week 10 against a Colts Defense that's holding opponents to 83.6 rushing yards per game. The matchup […]

This series continues into its ninth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 9, we saw performances such as the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers combining for five receptions, Josh Allen throwing for 415 yards, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 9's Studs Turned Duds
The outdated thought in fantasy was that running backs carry the top end of a team, while the depth of wide receiver allowed managers to use many more options from that position. The latter remains true, but the former no longer is. There is no top end of the running back position. In Week 9, […]

We're past Week 9 already and entering the home stretch of the season, which means you will be fighting harder than ever to procure that sweet playoff spot.

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10
Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round
Typing Week 10 feels strange, but it's true -- we are hitting the home stretch of most fantasy football regular seasons! We had many COVID-19 scares but all games were played once again. Key injuries included David Johnson (concussion), David Montgomery (concussion), Justin Jackson (knee), Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring), Preston Williams (foot). Christian McCaffrey also seemed […]

Week 9 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
Unlike Week 8, the weather was great in Week 9 and there were some shootouts. Four quarterbacks registered more than 30 fantasy points and three more exceeded 25 with Kyler Murray leading the way.

Adam Humphries, Jadeveon Clowney Miss Practice Monday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (concussion) and linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee, illness) both missed practice on Monday. Neither Humphries nor Clowney were able to suit up in the Week 9 win over the Bears and are unlikely to play on a short week this Thursday night against the Colts. Clowney, who has yet to […]

A.J. Brown Listed As Non-Practice Participant Monday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) would not have been able to practice Monday if the team took to the field, leading to him being listed as a non-participant. The Titans had the day off due to their matchup Thursday against the Colts, giving Brown a short window to recover from any ailments that […]

MyCole Pruitt Won't Play In Week 10
Tennessee Titans tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee) suffered a right knee injury in the Week 9 win over the Bears, but an MRI exam on Monday showed just a sprain. Pruitt will not play on Thursday night against the Colts, but there is optimism that he will be back soon. The 28-year-old has just three […]

Derrick Henry Shut Down By Bears Defense
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed the ball 21 times for 68 yards in Week 9 against the Bears. Henry saw his normal volume of carries but was shut down by the excellent Bears' run defense. He did rip off a 26-yard run that ultimately led to a two-yard touchdown for Jonnu Smith. Aside […]

Ryan Tannehill Wins Despite Efficiency Struggles
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 10 of 21 pass attempts for 158 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Bears.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown recorded four receptions on nine targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Bears.

Titans Defense To Be Without Jadeveon Clowney
Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Bears. Clowney didn't practice all week and wasn't expected to play this weekend. He's dealing with a meniscus injury that could also keep him out of Week 10 against the Colts next Thursday on a short week. There is […]
