Week 4 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Well, last week's bust broke the trend of having a quarterback totally destroy my thinking, as Philip Rivers ended up being very good but not, like, astronomically so like when I predicted a Week 1 bust by Patrick Mahomes and a Week 2 bust by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyway, y'all -- it's already Week 4. For […]

Corey Davis Should Continue To See Good Target Volume

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis has been the number one target in the passing game so far this season, although the Titans are ranked near the bottom in passing offense.

Derrick Henry An RB3 Play In Week 4

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has gotten off to a slow start to the 2018 season, but it is unlikely that he ends his slump in Week 4.

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis faces a tall task in Week 4 when the Philadelphia Eagles come to town.

Marcus Mariota A Risky QB2 Play In Week 4

Although Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is set to start at home against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4, the major question surrounding him is his ability to grip the football.

Death of the Workhorse RB

In a time, not too long ago, defense was king of the NFL. Pulverizing hits weren't just legal, they were glamorized. The rules of the game itself were slightly slanted in favor of those on the defensive side of the ball, and in order to find success, teams were forced to wear down the opposition […]

Rishard Matthews Trade Unlikely

The Tennessee Titans are "doubtful" to be able to trade disgruntled wide receiver Rishard Matthews, according to a source.
