Tennessee Titans Week 13 Fantasy Analysis

Week 13 – @ Houston – L 21-45

QB: Mettenberger okay but injured.  Locker played very poorly in relief.  Both were rushed a ton and not getting the ball out as fast as they should have.

RB: Sankey looked good again but deficit limited carries.  Still think he has the talent but line and play-calling not helping him at all.

WR: Hunter injured early.  Wright a huge game and looked great making some highlight-reel plays.  Washington a good game but probably got Hunter’s targets.

TE: Walker did nearly nothing.  Tough match up and should be better going forward.

OL: Couldn’t handle pass rush at all.  Run blocking was pretty strong against weaker run D.

Def: Obliterated through the air and run D was below-average.  Couldn’t cover WRs or RB.  Gave up monster games to QB and #1 WR and big games to #2 WR and receiving RB.

Tennessee Titans Week 12 Fantasy Analysis

Week 12 – @ Philadelphia – L 24-43

QB: Mettenberger a big game despite a lot of pressure and some sacks.  Would have been even better if receivers had made a few more plays they should have made.

RB: Sankey held in check but looks great when blocking is there.  Just not a good line in front of him right now.  Might be a big surprise next season if they work on that in off-season.  Greene got the goal line TD.

WR: Hunter a TD off a tipped pass and had a few balls he should have caught.  Good game on stat sheet but should have been better.  Wright should have been better as well.  Washington a better game than Wright again.

TE: Walker a huge game but just missed a TD.  Made some great plays in this one and have to believe QB is going to start trusting him more considering play of him vs WRs.

OL: Still not run blocking well.  Pass protection had plenty of holes in this one as well but not bad for most of the game.

Def: Abused everywhere again.  Stopped nothing and bad tackling on top of it.  Gave up huge game to RBs and good games to QB, WRs, and TEs.

Tennessee Titans Week 11 Fantasy Analysis

Week 11 – vs Pittsburgh – L 24-27

QB: Mettenberger good numbers but not that great a game.  Blown coverage for long TD saved his numbers.  Just not looking impressive yet.

RB: Sankey looked pretty good again but they went away from the run…again.  Has the talent but can’t be trusted due to coaching decisions.

WR: Washington 1 catch for long TD on blown coverage.  Wright a good game and looked good.  Hunter decent but still not doing enough.

TE: Coffman a good game getting a nice TD grab while filling in for Walker.  Looks like a good backup.

OL: Looked decent all-around.  Run blocking was there but team went away from it.  Pretty good pass protection against weaker D.

Def: Got trampled and had bad game against weak O-line.  Contained passing game.  Gave up monster to RB and good games to #1 WR and TE.  Held rest in check.

Tennssee Titans Week 10 Fantasy Analysis

Week 10 – @ Baltimore – L 7-21

QB: Mettenberger rushed and hit a ton.  Seemed to panic a bit and didn’t play well at all.  Was holding the ball too long at times.

RB: Sankey continues to quietly look good when blocking is there but just wasn’t there enough this game.  Got some extra yardage with effort quite a few times in this one.  Have to like the progression right now.

WR: QB struggled hurt.  Wright a decent game but still just not doing enough.  Hunter only 1 catch and got hit with a penalty on another great catch early.  Did little after.

TE: Walker injured early.  No one else mattered.

OL: Struggled against the pass rush and didn’t open up a ton on the ground.  RB made them look better than they really were.

Def: Gashed on the ground by speed back.  Just couldn’t get to him at times.  Good pass rush helped keep passing game in check.  Gave up monster to RB and good game to #1 WR.  Held everything else in check but more due to QB play.

Tennessee Titans Week 8 Fantasy Analysis

Week 8 – vs Houston – L 16-30

QB: Mettenberger solid in first start.  Spread the ball around a ton.  Was playing from behind and running game didn’t matter.  Have to wait and see on him.

RB: Deficit limited carries.  Sankey looks okay but blocking isn’t great and will not matter when they get killed.  Decent receiving game for him.

WR: Hunter got TD but passes were spread out.  Similar numbers on catches and yards for Hunter, Washington, and Wright.  Have to see who new QB will go to more in coming weeks.

TE: Walker got TD and had good game because of it.  Have to hope he has good rapport with Mettenberger.

OL: Not enough runs to judge but didn’t look great.  Okay pass blocking but nothing great.

Def: Obliterated on the ground.  Gave up monster to RB both rushing and receiving.  Also gave up a lot to WRs.  Looked awful all-around.

Tennessee Titans Week 7 Fantasy Analysis

Week 7 – @ Washington – L 17-19

QB: Whitehurst was better but still not great for fantasy and still hurting the fantasy options on this team.  Hopefully, he does not play rest of season.

RB: Sankey got the bulk of the work with Greene out and looked pretty good when blocking was there.  Even broke a few tackles in the back field when blocking wasn’t there.  I’d buy low on him if I had the roster space.

WR: Wright a big game getting a TD after a nice short run.  Looked really good this game and should be a good option when Locker gets back.  Hunter and Washington did little and got few looks.

TE: Walker did little and disappointed.  Have to hope he gets better when Locker returns.  Might have to bench until then.

OL: Decent game but not great.  Run blocking was up and down.  RB made them look better than they were.  Did okay against pass rush and QB probably made them look a little worse than they were.

Def: Helped by bad QB play.  Did okay against the run.  Gave up a lot to WRs and TEs but mostly on big plays.  Was solid most of the game.

Tennessee Titans Week 6 Fantasy Analysis

Week 6 – vs Jacksonville – W 16-14

QB: Whitehurst is awful.  Missed quite a few throws, had balls batted down, and took some unnecessary hits.  Makes these receivers so much worse for fantasy.

RB: Greene DNP.  Sankey was okay but the blocking wasn’t great.  Showed nice speed, patience, and vision when he had room.  Needs better QB play to take pressure off.  McCluster had nice receiving game.

WR: Hurt by bad QB.  Wright barely looked at as quite a few throws went long.  Hunter made a few long grabs.  Washington did little.

TE: Walker okay but also hurt by QB.  Continues to look great when he gets some space after the catch.

OL: Not great but better than score indicated.  Decent job on run blocking but wasn’t consistent.  Pass blocking was okay but QB took some hits he shouldn’t have and made them look worse.

Def: Stopped the run game because of bad O-line.  Gave up a lot through the air to WRs and TE.  Has been really weak against WRs so far.

Tennessee Titans Week 5 Fantasy Analysis

Week 5 – vs Cleveland – L 28-29

QB: Locker looked really good but got hurt again.  Whitehurst much better this week.  Almost looked like a nice fantasy option.

RB: Greene and Sankey looked great early but tailed off as the game went on.  Offense strangely abandoned the run a bit late when they should have been running clock.  Baffling.

WR: Wright and Hunter had huge games.  Wright even got a couple carries and ran well.  Want to believe in them when they play like this.  Washington was decent but the lesser talent by far.

TE: Walker only average this game but caught all of his targets.  Looked good but just didn’t get as many throws as he has been.  Should be better in the weeks to come.

OL: Decent game all-around.  Run blocking was very good early.  Blame coach for going away from run later.  Pass blocking was decent but did give up some sacks.  Definitely the weakness.

Def: Gave up a ton on the ground because of over-pursuing then RB making a cutback.  Happened a ton.  Pass D was not great.  Got burned by the backup WRs (Gabriel and Benjamin) worse than the starters.

Tennessee Titans Week 4 Fantasy Analysis

Week 4 – @ Indianapolis – L 17-41

QB: Whitehurst was all kinds of awful.  Throws were atrocious.  Receivers had to make a lot of good plays just to catch the ones that were close.

RB: This team can run but chooses not to.  Sankey looked solid but a lot of his carries came when they were already down.  Greene looks fine but only 3 touches.

WR: QB play killed.  Wright was okay.  Hunter missed a catch that went for an INT.  Wouldn’t look too much into this one.

TE: Walker another big game and made a great catch with double-coverage for his TD.  Is an absolute stud right now.

OL: Run blocking is there but play-calling isn’t.  Pass blocking looked worse than it was because of QB.

Def: Torched by Luck to WRs and TEs.  Did an okay job against the run but was facing weak run blocking line.  Pass rush was decent.

Tennessee Titans Week 3 Fantasy Analysis

Week 3 – @ Cincy – L 7-33

QB: Locker ran well but had trouble with the wind.  2 picks but one was batted ball.  Other was a terrible decision.  Long throws just weren’t good.

RB: Sanky looked great this game.  Blocking was excellent and he took advantage.  Greene got goal line TD and had okay game because of it.  Sanky may be the #1 now.

WR: Suffered because of wind.  Washington had zero catches.  Wright and Hunter did little.  Didn’t get any catchable balls thrown to them down field.

TE: Walker looks like a stud right now.  Getting open and making great RAC.  Not a huge game here but no reason to think he can’t do it every week.

OL: Pass blocking was not good.  Had Locker scrambling a lot.  Run blocking was excellent against a tough D.  Doing that every week.

Def: Run D was decent but gave up 3 goal line TDs.  Couldn’t cover WRs.  Shutdown TE but that may have been due to deficit.  Didn’t try to pass rush much.
