Taylor Lewan Suffers Concussion

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (head) suffered a concussion in Week 1 against the Dolphins and didn't return to the game.

Derrick Henry A Non-Factor In Week 1 Loss

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed only 10 times for 26 yards in the loss to the Miami Dolphins and was rarely on the field once they fell behind. Dion Lewis saw 10 more touches than Henry this game, but it is logical to assume that this trend was more game script dependent and […]

Delanie Walker A TE1 In Good Matchup

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker has been a pillar of consistency at the position over the last few years, and we should not expect that to change in 2018. Walker faces a Dolphins defense Week 1 that allowed the most points to tight ends in 2017. Expect quarterback Marcus Mariota to lean on the […]

Corey Davis A Risky WR3 Option Versus Dolphins

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was a training camp standout this summer, but he left the preseason without a single reception in over three quarters of action. While the Titans did not reveal much of their playbook, his lack of chemistry with quarterback Marcus Mariota on several occasions has provided reason for concern. Despite […]

Dion Lewis A Safe Flex Play Week 1

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis is in play as a low-end RB2 Week 1 when the Titans travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. The Dolphins allowed 19.6 fantasy points and 44 receiving yards to running backs in 2017, which should give Lewis a solid floor in PPR leagues. Mariota also showed a […]

Marcus Mariota A Risky Week 1 Play

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota described his feelings towards the season opener against the Miami Dolphins in one word: "Excitement." Fantasy owners, however, should approach Mariota with slightly more caution.

Jack Conklin Could Return Around Week 4

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) is expected to return around Week 4. Conklin was limited in practice on Wednesday but just recently came off the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Rishard Matthews Could Have Reps Limited

After missing so much time in training camp and the preseason with a torn meniscus, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews (knee) knows his repetitions early in the year could be limited. “That is the kind of the plan, so wherever they need me,” he said. “The young guys have been doing good, so wherever […]

Rishard Matthews Not On Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews (knee) is not listed on the team's Week 1 injury report against the Dolphins. Matthews was on the Physically Unable to Perform list for most of training camp, so he'll be notably behind Corey Davis and Taylor Lewan heading into the season opener. To be safe, fantasy owners should […]

Jack Conklin Limited Wednesday

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Conklin is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Dolphins, but there's a chance he could return as soon as Week 2.

Delanie Walker Expected To Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (toe) is expected to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Walker is in fact not listed on the injury report heading into Week 1 against the Dolphins, so he should be fine to start in the season opener. The veteran Walker is used to playing through […]
