Marcus Mariota Splits First-Team Reps

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed much, but head coach Mike Vrabel said Mariota and Blaine Gabbert split the first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday. The team will continue to prepare both quarterbacks to play in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Mariota was active in Week 2 but didn't play at all, […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 2 has wrapped up, and, while some kickers put up some great numbers, others kicked themselves out of a job. Through two weeks, we've seen multiple surprises at the top of the kicker scorers. Players like Chandler Catanzaro and Randy Bullock are making a name for themselves early this season. Heading into Week 3, […]

Dalyn Dawkins Promoted To Active Roster

Tennessee Titans running back Dalyn Dawkins was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday. Also, the team signed cornerback Kenneth Durden back to the 53-man roster and elevated tackle Tyler Marz from the practice squad. Dawkins is the nephew of Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins. Running back David Fluellen left Week […]

Titans Re-Sign Nick Williams

The Tennessee Titans re-signed wide receiver Nick Williams on Tuesday. Receiver Cameron Batson and tight end Anthony Firkser were waived in corresponding moves. Williams is in his fifth NFL season and has 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 22 career games. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Week 3 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It’s time to start prepping for Week 3 waiver wire additions and I have you covered for wide receivers. As I was looking up players to add for this article, I was shocked to see some of the names that are still not at least 50% owned in fantasy leagues. A couple of them will […]

Week 3 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We had another wild and woolly week of action in the NFL, and some big quarterback performances from unlikely sources once again in Week 2. Many owners prefer to set and forget at quarterback, but for those of us that like to play the streaming game we've got to be on top of matchups every […]

Week 3 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Two weeks down, and 15 weeks to go for fantasy football owners to find their starting tight end. The Greg Olsen and Delanie Walker owners who were unable to fill their tight end voids last week have another opportunity to this week. If you are in the market for a new tight end for your […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)

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 […]

Taylor Lewan Must Still Pass Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) is making progress, but he must still pass the concussion protocol in order to practice this week. The Titans are one of the most beat up teams on the offensive line, and starting quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) sat over Blaine Gabbert in […]

Marcus Mariota's Status Hasn't Changed

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota's (elbow) status hasn't changed since Friday or Saturday of last week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Mariota was active in Week 2 against the Texans but didn't play at all and was dealing with numbness in his fingers last week. It's not looking good for his chances of playing […]

Taywan Taylor Catches Touchdown In Week 2 Win

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor caught three of his four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. Taylor continues to impress with the ball in his hands, as he made multiple defenders miss on the way to his 18-yard touchdown off of a screen. The […]

Corey Davis Catches Five Passes In Win

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis had a rather quiet day statistically, turning his seven targets into five receptions for 55 yards. While his stats do not stand out, he did catch five of Blaine Gabbert's 13 completions and easily led the team in targets for the day. The Titans elected to go with a […]

Dion Lewis Less Effective In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was not nearly as effective against the Houston Texans as he was in Week 1, totaling 15 touches for just 43 yards. The Titans offense as a whole struggled on the day without three offensive linemen and quarterback Marcus Mariota. It is evident the team wanted to grind the […]

Derrick Henry More Involved In Week 2

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was more involved in the Week 2 win against the Houston Texans than he was a week ago, toting the ball 18 times for 56 yards. While his production was not very impressive, it is important to remember that the Titans were without three offensive linemen and their starting […]

Blaine Gabbert Throws A Touchdown In Win

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert was not asked to do much from the coaching staff in Week 2 against the Houston Texans, but he did just enough to secure a win for the injury-riddled Titans. Gabbert finished 13-for-20 for 117 yards and a touchdown. More importantly, Gabbert did not turn the football over one time. […]

Blaine Gabbert Warming Up With Starters

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert is taking snaps with the starters in warmups before the Week 2 game against the Texans. Marcus Mariota (elbow) is active but is dealing with a pinched nerve in his elbow and may not play much, if at all, in this game. Mariota should obviously be avoided by fantasy owners, […]

Marcus Mariota Active But Could Be Limited

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is active for Week 2 against the Texans, but he did not do much in pre-game warmups and he continues to struggle with gripping the football. Mariota is dealing with a pinched nerve in his throwing elbow and still has not regained complete feeling in his fingers, according to […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2): Targets and Avoids

What an exciting Week 1 - one of my favorite opening weeks in recent memory. We got to see a rare tie, a seven hour game, a shootout, and some good defensive battles. Even crazier, more than half of survivor pools are already eliminated after the Saints and Lions lost. Week 1 also leads to […]

Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. ECR

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. I did decently in Week 1, scoring 29th out of ~130 experts, but if I'm going to beat my 9th place finish from […]

Week 2 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

I tend to abide by a pretty simple rule when it comes to drafting players; unless something is unexpectedly wrong with them, I don't make a lot of shifts between Weeks 1 and 2 (or through Week 3, for that matter.) If you drafted Mike Williams and he didn't get as much target share as […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a […]

Running Back Touch Breakdown - Week 1 Recap

Anytime I start a new project, I’m filled with so much excitement it’s hard not to start just dumping data on Twitter and sharing it with the world. That is how I have felt with this project for several weeks now. One thing I have always loved is collecting data on running backs. I truly […]

Wide Receiver Targets and Snaps - Week 1 Report

After spending months, weeks, and days subtracting the amount of time that remained until the regular season, we have now shifted focus toward adding numbers instead. This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 2

One week down, 16 more weeks of under-the-radar booms and busts to go! My opening week of boom/bust predictions was as uneven as Eminem’s new album. While James White and Ted Ginn made me look like I may know a thing or two, DeSean Jackson ruined everything by posting a 5-146-2 line that made me […]

Inside the Tent - Week 2 NFL Injury Insight

Well, well, well, Week 1 sure was a whirlwind. If the entire 2018 season is anything like Week 1, we're in for a good one ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, some fantasy-relevant players were banged up and fantasy owners suffered as a result. With that being said, if the season is indeed like Week 1, then […]
