He will test his arm in pregame warmups but further damage would put his […]

Corey Davis Not A Recommended Option In Week 17

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has suffered greatly from the constant nagging injuries endured by his quarterback Marcus Mariota this season.

With Mariota ailing, expect the […]

Dion Lewis Could Have Sneaky Daily Fantasy Appeal In Week 17

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has seen his fantasy stock plummet following the December explosion from Derrick Henry.

Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Legend

Fantasy football legends come in all different shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Sometimes it's the stars that shine even brighter when all eyes are on them. We saw this with Todd Gurley last season.

Corey Davis Added To Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) was added to the Week 17 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday.

Marcus Mariota Practicing Thursday

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger) was throwing deep balls in practice on Thursday.

Carson Wentz - Dynasty Dud or Buy-Low?
