Akrum Wadley Unimpressive In Debut

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Akrum Wadley has been in a battle all training camp for the third running back spot with David Fluellen. Despite flashing his speed on a 64 yard kick return, the rest of the preseason opener did not bode well for Wadley. Wadley looked a little overwhelmed in protection throughout the […]

Nick Williams Looks Good In Debut With Titans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Williams looked impressive in his debut with the team, catching one pass for 38 yards with the starting offense. Williams was plugged into the starting rotation due to the absence of Corey Davis and Rishard Matthews. He needs to continue to play well if he wants any chance at making […]

Marcus Mariota Throws Touchdown In Only Drive

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota only played one drive in Thursday's preseason opener, but he completed two of three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Akrum Wadley Expected To Play A Lot Thursday

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Akrum Wadley is expected to get a good amount of playing time in Thursday's preseason opener, according to Tennessee Titans staff writer Travis May.

Stack 'Em - Teams with Favorable Schedules for Top Players

Using last year’s results alone to predict this season’s outcomes is borderline foolish.

Delanie Walker Having A Nice Camp

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker has been clicking with quarterback Marcus Mariota so far in training camp.

Tajae Sharpe Listed As Second-Team Receiver

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe is listed on the second-team offense in the team's first depth chart. Sharpe spent all of 2017 season on the injured reserve after injuring his foot.

Corey Davis Not Practicing On Monday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis is not practicing on Monday, as reported by Jim Wyatt.

Rishard Matthews Running Routes Before Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews was finally out on the field again before practice on Thursday running routes.

The Tennessee Titans announced on Saturday that they agreed to terms with free-agent safety Kenny Vaccaro. Vaccaro was the best safety still left on the market. The former first-rounder by the Saints has 386 tackles, eight interceptions and 7.5 sacks in his five seasons and will help the secondary after the loss of Johnathan Cyprien […]

Boom or Bust that ADP

Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]

Mid-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters

With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount.

That advice has worked well […]

Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis Splitting Reps

Tennessee Titans running backs Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis have been splitting first-team reps evenly so far in training camp.
