Deeper DraftKings DFS Sleepers for the Divisional Round
How did that first weekend of the playoffs treat you? If you thought the Chiefs and Rams were close to being sure things, well...you were disappointed. Neither offense delivered, with Kansas City running back Kareem Hunt disappearing in the second half despite his team playing with a big lead, and the Rams explosive offense couldn't […]

Derrick Henry The Present And Future In Tennessee
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is clearly the present and the future for the team with DeMarco Murray likely on his way out. The Titans have high expectations for Henry, and former running back Eddie George thinks Henry can be a "1,500-1,800-yard type of running back." Since entering the league in 2016, the Titans […]
NFL Rookies To Watch In The Divisional Round
Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Hopefully, by […]
Titans Wide Receivers All Risky Plays In Divisional Round
Tennessee Titans wide receivers Rishard Matthews, Eric Decker and Corey Davis have become a bit harder to predict in recent weeks. Matthews was the clear top fantasy option for the majority of the season, but his usage lately has been concerning. Decker and Davis have either outperformed or matched Matthews the last few weeks of the season. […]
Delanie Walker A Strong Play In Divisional Game
Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker came out of his slump last Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, catching six passes for 74 yards in the comeback win. Walker's usage had been fading late in the regular season, but the Titans made an effort to get him more involved in the critical playoff game. Expect […]
Derrick Henry Looking To Continue Strong Performance
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is primed to get his third straight start this week against the New England Patriots. Henry is looking to keep it going following performances with 117 and 191 yards in back-to-back weeks. Henry has definitely passed the eye test as the new starting running back of the Titans, but […]
Marcus Mariota Needs To Come Up Big For Titans
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has not had the big statistical year that everyone expected, but he showed last week just why everyone in the organization is fully behind him. Mariota led three straight touchdown drives in the comeback win against the Kansas City Chiefs, including throwing a touchdown to himself. Mariota's toughness and will […]
DeMarco Murray Ruled Out Against Patriots
Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee), who missed practice again Wednesday, has been ruled out in the Divisional Round this weekend against the Patriots, according to head coach Mike Mularkey. Murray suffered a Grade 3 tear of his MCL in his right knee two weeks ago and hasn't practiced since. Derrick Henry, who had […]
Biggest Quarterback Busts - 2017 Year in Review
Going into the 2017 season, I implored fantasy strategists in a long article to give up on waiting for quarterback, and instead pick one of the top-five guys in place of a standard third or fourth-round selection. Years of fantasy football statistics and results had pointed to the fact that only a handful of quarterbacks […]
DeMarco Murray Not Practicing Again On Tuesday
Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee) is not practicing Tuesday, and there is a small chance he will play against the Patriots on Saturday. Even if Murray returns after missing the Wild-Card game, it will be Derrick Henry's show in the backfield. Murray's injury may have been a blessing in disguise for the Titans, […]
Running Back Targets for DFS and Playoff Leagues: Divisional Round
The Wild Card games proved to be wild indeed, with a couple of underdogs advancing to the second round of the NFL playoffs. If you're in a one-and-done fantasy league, hopefully you didn't burn your RB picks on disappointing players like Mark Ingram or Devonta Freeman, as the limited pool of players makes each pick […]
DraftKings Tight Ends - Divisional Round DFS Values
There is no fantasy football waiver wire in the NFL playoffs - it's mostly a week to week game. Each round, you will be able to enter DFS contests, and you'll need a tight end when setting your lineups. If you aren't in the business of shelling out top dollar amounts for your tight ends […]
DeMarco Murray Listed As Day-To-Day
Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray (knee) is being listed as day-to-day this week. Murray hasn't practiced or played since spraining his knee in Week 16, and he seems doubtful to be able to suit up in the Divisional Round against the Patriots. Even if Murray is active for that one, he seems destined to […]
Corey Davis Catches Four Passes For 35 Yards
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught four of his seven targets for 35 yards in the team's 22-21 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Davis was also missed on a wheel route for what would've been a long touchdown catch in the second half. It is apparent that Davis and quarterback Marcus Mariota have […]
Eric Decker Scores Game-Winning Touchdown Late In Game
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Eric Decker has struggled with drops lately, including a crucial drop in the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs. Decker made up for his struggles by reeling in a 22-yard touchdown to take the lead late in the game. This was only Decker's second catch in the game, but it […]
Rishard Matthews Held To One Catch
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews was virtually non-existent in the team's 22-21 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Matthews saw only two targets, catching one for 15 yards. Matthews' role has begun to dwindle as the season has progressed, with receivers Corey Davis and Eric Decker both having a much more prominent role in […]
Delanie Walker Goes For 74 Yards
Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker caught six passes for 74 yards in the team's 22-21 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Walker led all Titans with eight targets and was much more involved in the offense than he had been over the final stretch of the regular season. Expect Walker to once again be […]
Derrick Henry Explodes for 191 Total Yards And A Touchdown
Following a game in which he described his own play as "soft," Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry came out with a vengeance. Henry rushed 23 times for 156 yards and a touchdown and added 35 yards receiving in the team's 22-21 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Henry looked every bit the part of […]
Mike Mularkey To Remain As Head Coach
The Tennessee Titans announced Sunday that head coach Mike Mularkey will stick around for the 2018 season. The surprising upset win over the Chiefs on the road in the Wild-Card game on Saturday likely earned Mularkey another season, but he'll need to get more creative with the offense and improve quarterback Marcus Mariota's game overall […]
Marcus Mariota Throws Touchdown To Himself
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota came to play in the team's 22-21 comeback victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, throwing for two touchdowns, including one to himself on a tipped pass. While it wasn't always pretty, Mariota consistently made plays to keep the Titans in the game. He paired his three total touchdowns with 205 […]
Mike Mularkey's Job Not Safe
Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey's job is not safe, and he could lose his job if the team loses in the Wild-Card game to the Chiefs on Saturday, according to sources. If Mularkey is let go, the Titans are prepared to make a run for Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. The Titans molasses-slow offense […]
