Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Ownership: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dexter McCluster is not going to be a week-in, week-out fantasy starter at any point this year, but he has the ability to bust a big play out of the backfield or slot, or on special teams, and is coming off a week where […]

Week 2 NFL Matchups Analysis: Start/Sit for Fantasy Football (Part 1)

Zach Wilkens breaks down the first half of the Week 2 matchups for the 2015 NFL football season. Each week of the NFL season, we will be breaking down each of the NFL matchups and providing you with some fantasy football advice and lineup recommendations based on matchups that we love, matchups that we hate, and some high-risk/high-reward players, as […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Boom and Bust Candidates for Early Games

In many ways, Week 2 is the most important week of the early fantasy football season. If you started off 1-0, now you have a chance to perch yourself atop the league with a victory. At 0-1, the last thing you want to do is fall into an 0-2 hole, so a Week 2 victory […]

Bishop Sankey (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Week 1 was a great week to be an owner with stock in the Tennessee Titans, as they made the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like a bunch of amateurs. Marcus Mariota is getting most of the attention for his stellar performance, as he […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mariota is a must own right now. Although he only took 16 passes on Sunday, those passes hit their mark with a 209 yard and 4 touchdown game. Mariota is unlikely to ever repeat that kind of efficiency again this season, but showing […]

Tennessee Titans (DEF, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues / Week Two Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's amazing that this defense dismantled the Bucs the way did it. Sure, some of it had to do with Jameis Winston's rookie growing pains, but this team shouldn't have been that dominant. Maybe having Dick LeBeau working on your […]

Terrance West (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: West isn't an especially talented running back, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry behind a very good run blocking Cleveland Browns offensive line. Once again though, this is about opportunity. Titans starting running back, sophomore Bishop Sankey, was equally as mediocre last season with a […]

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 11- 13 Current ADP: 123 STD, 106 PPR ANALYSIS: Even with sub-par quarterback play from Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jake Locker, Zach Mettenberger and Charlie Whitehurst, Kendall Wright still managed to put up 1,079 and 715 yards in his second and third seasons, respectively.

Analyzing and Projecting the Rookie QBs: Tampa Bay's Jameis Winston and Tennessee's Marcus Mariota

Since 2002, only 18 rookie quarterbacks have started week 1 of the season for their team, and five of them came in 2012. On average, a rookie QB that starts week one finishes the season with just over 3,100 yards passing and 16 TDs, numbers that do not make them very valuable in fantasy football. […]

Dynasty Rookie Profile: Tennessee Titans WR Dorial Green-Beckham

The Tennessee Titans clearly held offense as a priority headed into 2015 NFL Draft, and took wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham with the 40th-overall pick after drafting quarterback Marcus Mariota in the first. The plan is for the two college stand-outs to mature together and establish themselves as the core of an offense on the rise, […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as WR4 Current ADP: 145 STD, 115 PPR ANALYSIS: Kendall Wright is one year removed from a breakout 2013 campaign in which he collected 94 receptions, 1,079 yards and two touchdowns with Jake Locker and Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. In 2014, he caught passes from Locker, Charlie Whitehurst and Zach Mettenberger, and […]

Marcus Mariota Has Yet to Throw an Interception at Camp, Which Basically Means Crap

Observing NFL training camps is a hoot. Fans claw desperately at minuscule factoids in order to satisfy their thirst for football, even if the factoids mean absolute wrinkled balls on a stale cracker. Speaking of which, it’s widely known that rookie Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has yet to throw an interception at training camp. […]

Three Overlooked Veteran Wide Receivers: Draft Values for 2015

People are quick to turn away from the stars of yesteryear in favor of the "huge upside" they see blooming out of the young receivers. Is that really the right thing to do? While other players in your league are making huge reaches on the likes of Brandin Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin, in hopes they […]

A Sleeper To Watch For in 2015: Dorial Green-Beckham

Around this time last year, there was considerable buzz surrounding rookie running back Bishop Sankey. Sankey automatically became a trendy sleeper within the fantasy community, but never met the expectations placed on him. Although he might not have nearly as much hype, rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham is another player selected by the Tennessee Titans that should be considered […]

Depth Chart Battles: Which Titans RB Will Run Away with the Starting Job?

If you paid any attention to fantasy football last season you've heard the name Bishop Sankey. Sankey was a rookie running back drafted out of the University of Washington by the Tennessee Titans. The hype around Sankey as a potential fantasy starter grew to enormous heights, so much so that he was going as early as […]

David Cobb (RB, TEN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds CURRENT ADP: 117 STD, 127 PPR ANALYSIS: David Cobb, a fifth-round pick out of the University of Minnesota in 2015, proved in college that he could be a work-horse running back, having rushed the ball 314 times in 2014 despite dealing with a hamstring injury. Cobb is mainly a powerful, bruising back, but […]

Marcus Mariota Signs With That One Team Everyone Forgets Exists

After doing their best impression of the invisible man this past decade, the Tennessee Titans took off their glasses and pulled down their ponytail to reveal that they are no longer the plain, four-eyed nerdy girl everyone overlooks – they’re now just the plain girl with freaking contact lenses and a complexion issue. The Titans […]

Why Titans Running Back David Cobb is an Undervalued Sleeper in 2015

In the ultra-competitive world of fantasy football, everyone is always looking for an edge up on every team.

It’s Time For Another Round of “Which NFL Player Was Arrested Today?!”

Tennessee Titans wide receiver, and usual Week Eight drunk wavier wire pick-up, Justin Hunter turned himself in to authorities on Monday in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A warrant was issued for his arrest, following a July 3rd bar brawl that left one person hospitalized for injuries sustained in the fight. This doesn't really help improve the 24-year-old's […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 Overall in PPR Leagues, ~150 Overall in Standard Leagues CURRENT ADP: 161 STD, 117 PPR ANALYSIS: None of the Titans' three quarterbacks last year -- Jake Locker, Charlie Whitehurst and Zach Mettenberger -- had a completion percentage that ranked in the top 25. It’s hard for any receiver to succeed under those circumstances. In […]

Draft Strategy: Avoid Tight Ends Playing with Rookie Quarterbacks

Do Rookie QBs Lead to Increased Tight End Production? The entrance of a new rookie QB to a team tends to start a flurry of wild projections. A common fantasy myth that's gone around every year is that young QB's will spend more time playing scared and conservatively, therefore increasing the volume of checkdowns given to […]

2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper: Wide Receiver Kendall Wright

Last year I wrote about Kendall Wright as a wide receiver likely to see an increase in touchdowns following a 94 catch season with just two scores. He ended up having a more than respectable six touchdowns on 57 catches. Unfortunately the touchdown increase was just about the only improvement in Wright’s numbers last years.  […]
