Week 6 Consistency Reports - All Positions

We now have over a quarter of a seasons worth of data at our fingertips and the cream has well and truly risen to the top. There are still some interesting names high in the rankings at quarterback and tight end. However, these are generally more variable positions. That is why both positions are often […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Pass Rush vs. QB Matchups to Target/Avoid (Week 6)

In a unprecedented season of historic offensive production, identifying defensive units that apply a consistent pass rush is paramount. Passing has gone bananas. NFL completions (2,999), completion percentage (65.4), passing yards (32,215), passing touchdowns (228), points scored (3,030) and touchdowns (344) are the highest numbers in NFL history at this point in a season.

Corey Davis A Flex Option In Week 6

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has struggled with consistency so far this season, posting under 50 receiving yards in two of five games. While Davis is still seeing a large target share in the Titans offense, his inconsistency and low touchdown production are holding him back from true WR2 status as of now. Despite […]

Derrick Henry And Dion Lewis Both RB3 Options In Week 6

Tennessee Titans running backs Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis have both been mostly irrelevant thus far in the season from a fantasy perspective. With neither back showing enough to get a hold on the starting job, both are risky RB3/flex plays in a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, who are allowing a measly 11.06 […]

Marcus Mariota Has Tough Week 6 Matchup

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota faces a tough test in Week 6 as the Baltimore Ravens are set to travel to Nashville. Mariota is coming off of a poor performance in Buffalo, throwing for only 129 yards and no touchdowns. While we are likely to see more production than that this week, expect Mariota to […]

Taylor Lewan Returns To Practice

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Lewan should be able to play in Week 6 against the Ravens. He's one of the NFL's best left tackles, so him being on the field is always good news for quarterback Marcus Mariota.

It took five weeks but the vultures are finally starting to come out.

Despite the return of Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, it […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 6)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Rishard Matthews out of the picture, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor has seen his role increase significantly.

Taylor Lewan Undergoing Tests On Foot

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said left tackle Taylor Lewan (foot) is meeting with doctors and undergoing tests on his foot on Monday. Lewan was injured in the Week 5 loss to the Bills. He's dealt with a concussion already this year, too. Any missed time for Lewan would be bad news for quarterback […]

Corey Davis Only Catches Four Passes In Week 5

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught four of only six targets for 49 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Titans passing game, and offense in general, was unable to get into a rhythm on the road against the Bills defense. Until the offense is able to produce more consistently, […]

Dion Lewis Struggles In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis struggled to get going in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Lewis rushed 12 times for 34 yards and caught only three passes for 14 yards. Not only was Lewis held in check, but he also fumbled the ball at a crucial point in the second half. […]

Derrick Henry Rushes 11 Times for 56 Yards In Week 5

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 11 times for 56 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This was Henry's best game on the ground so far this season, but he was still held out of the end zone for the fifth straight game. Henry' value is beginning to creep lower […]

Marcus Mariota Throws For 129 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the offense were unable to score a single touchdown in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mariota completed 14 of 26 passes on the day for 126 yards and an interception. This was a big let down from his performance last week, although he did have a […]
