Chig Okonkwo
Chig Okonkwo Held to one catch
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 9:06 PM
Okonkwo recorded one catch on one target for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Will Levis returned under center after a three-game absence, and he failed to get any of Tennessee's tight ends involved. Okonkwo accounted for the position group's only reception while being on the field for only 55 percent of offensive snaps. He's now been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last five contests.
Tyler Boyd
Tyler Boyd No stats in loss
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 8:40 PM
Boyd was not targeted in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Boyd was seemingly limited by a shoulder injury in Week 9, which explained his low snap rate and lack of targets. However, he was back on the field for 61 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's loss, meaning his lack of involvement suggests he isn't a big part of Tennessee's game plan. Given that the Titans won't be contending for a playoff spot down the stretch, the team could continue to five younger players more opportunity across the second half of the season.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Touchdown streak ends
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 8:25 PM
Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three catches on three targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine was on the field for every offensive snap, though he failed to command at least four targets for the first time since Week 6. His streak of four games with a touchdown also came to an end, and he's reached 50 yards only once for the campaign. Both his usage and production make him an unreliable option heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Vikings.
Tyjae Spears
Tyjae Spears Ten touches in return
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:34 PM
Spears rushed the ball seven times for 47 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.
Analysis: Spears was active for the first time since Week 6, and he returned to record double-digit touches for only the second time in six games on the campaign. His touch total may have been inflated by a brief absence in the second quarter for Tony Pollard, but Spears should work as a change-of-pace option moving forward. Spears also showed encouraging explosiveness, as he noted a pair of double-digit gains in Sunday's loss.
Calvin Ridley
Calvin Ridley Two touchdowns in loss
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:19 PM
Ridley recorded five receptions on nine targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Ridley increased his production with Mason Rudolph under center across the past three games, but he managed his best performance of the season with Will Levis back under center. He began the contest in impressive form by catching a deep 41-yard touchdown on the Titans' opening possession after he broke free from coverage over the middle of the field. Ridley's second score came in garbage time, but he still easily paced the Titans in targets, receptions and yards. His production could be volatile to close the campaign, but his ability to produce with Levis back under center was encouraging.
Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard Only 13 touches in loss
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:06 PM
Pollard rushed the ball nine times for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added three receptions on three targets for four yards.
Analysis: Pollard suffered an apparent lower-body injury in the second quarter that caused him to miss a couple series, and the return of Tyjae Spears also cost Pollard some work. The result was Pollard recording his lowest touch and yardage total since Week 3. He should remain a key part of the Tennessee offense, but he's likely to settle into leading a more evenly split backfield moving forward.
Will Levis
Will Levis Two touchdowns in return
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 9:44 PM
Levis completed 18 of 23 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added five rushes for 41 yards.
Analysis: Levis returned from a three-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and turned in his first appearance of the campaign without a turnover. He padded his stats with a touchdown drive in garbage time that concluded with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley, though he also found Ridley for a 41-yard score on the Titans' first offensive possession. Levis isn't likely to become useful in most fantasy formats, but he did show a level of competence that was missing earlier in the campaign.
Joshua Kelley
Joshua Kelley Healthy scratch for Week 10
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 1:43 PM
Kelley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Kelley was signed to the active roster Nov. 2 to provide depth in the Titans' backfield. However, his services will not be needed Sunday as Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears and Julius Chestnut will all play.
Julius Chestnut
Julius Chestnut Good to go vs. Bolts
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 1:39 PM
Chestnut (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Chestnut was limited for the Titans' final two practices of the week due to a foot injury, but it's not severe enough to prevent him from suiting up Sunday. Chestnut will be Tennessee's No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.
Tyler Boyd
Tyler Boyd Cleared for Week 10
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 4:31 PM
Boyd (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing fully Friday.
Analysis: Boyd was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the wideout's return to a full session Friday sets the stage for him to be available versus Los Angeles. Through eight contests to date, Boyd has compiled a 21/184/0 stat line on 30 targets, a pace that limits his fantasy lineup utility to deeper formats.
Tyjae Spears
Tyjae Spears Ready to return to action
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 4:30 PM
Spears (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Chargers.
Analysis: Sidelined since injuring his hamstring Week 6 against the Colts, Spears put himself in a position to return to action with back-to-back full sessions to end Week 10 prep. He'll thus be available Sunday behind the Titans' No. 1 RB Tony Pollard (foot), who followed a LP-DNP-LP practice regimen this week but also doesn't carry a designation into the weekend. Prior to his three-game absence, Spears averaged 9.0 touches for 38.0 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD in five outings this season.
Nick Vannett
Nick Vannett Will play vs. Bolts
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 4:16 PM
Vannett (neck) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Vannett was listed on Thursday's injury report with a neck issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was able to practice in full Friday and should be good to go for Week 10. Vannett has logged 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 78 yards and two touchdowns through eight regular-season games as the Titans' No. 2 tight end behind Chigoziem Okonkwo.
Julius Chestnut
Julius Chestnut Questionable for Week 10
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 4:12 PM
Chestnut (foot) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Chestnut popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a foot issue, which limited him over the last two practices. If Chestnut cannot play Sunday, the Titans may elevate Jabari Small to serve as the No. 3 running back behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.
Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard Cleared for Week 10
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 3:43 PM
Pollard (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers after returning to a limited practice Friday.
Analysis: Fellow RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) doesn't carry a Week 10 injury designation, either, and thus is set to return from a three-game absence. Pollard, who is coming off a 28-carry, 128-yard effort in a Week 9 overtime win over the Patriots, is on track to remain the Titans' lead back this weekend. The return of Spears should allow the team to ease Pollard's workload to a degree, but presumably not to an extent that would prevent him from maintaining fantasy utility versus Los Angeles.
Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard Back at practice
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 1:43 PM
Pollard (foot) was spotted at practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Pollard (foot) didn't practice Thursday, but the running back's return to the field a day later suggests that his absence was maintenance-related. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Pollard carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, but at this stage he should be available this weekend.
Will Levis
Will Levis Set to start Sunday
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 12:43 PM
Coach Brian Callahan announced Friday that Levis (right shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis, who has missed three straight contests, returned to a full practice Thursday, paving the way for him to see his first game action since Week 6. As a result, Mason Rudolph -- who had started in place of Levis -- will move back to backup duties Sunday. In his return to the Titans' lineup, Levis offers a Week 10 option for those in deeper fantasy leagues or who are otherwise seeking help this weekend due to injury or bye week issues.
Mason Rudolph
Mason Rudolph Back to the bench as QB2
Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 12:40 PM
With Will Levis (shoulder) announced as the Week 10 starter Sunday against the Chargers, Rudolph will head back to the bench as Tennessee's QB2, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Rudolph started the Titans' past three games, going 1-2 as a starter, while completing 67 of 111 passes (60.4 percent) for 721 yards (6.5 yards per attempt), four touchdowns and four interceptions. He added a 13-61-1 rushing line.
Nick Vannett
Nick Vannett Pops up on injury report
Thu, Nov 7, 2024, 4:08 PM
Vannett (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Vannett played 34 snaps on offense during the Titans' Week 9 overtime win over the Patriots and finished with two catches for 33 yards and one touchdown. While he was able to practice in full Wednesday, he was limited in Thursday's session due to a neck issue, which puts his status in question for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Vannett is unable to play, Josh Whyle would figure to step into the No. 2 tight end behind starter Chigoziem Okonkwo.
Julius Chestnut
Julius Chestnut Working through foot injury
Thu, Nov 7, 2024, 4:06 PM
Chestnut (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Chestnut was able to log a full practice Wednesday, but he was limited in Thursday's session due to a foot issue. His practice participation Friday will give a clearer indication on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Chesnut has served as the Titans' No. 2 running back behind Tony Pollard (foot) for the last three games while Tyjae Spears was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Over that span, Chestnut has logged 15 carries for 69 yards while adding one catch for nine yards.
Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard Doesn't practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 7, 2024, 3:34 PM
Pollard (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Pollard was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, so his downgrade in activity a day later is notable. That said, the running back didn't practice ahead of Week 9 action and was able to log an 86 percent snap share in this past Sunday's win over the Patriots, carrying 28 times for 128 yards and adding three catches for 26 yards in the contest. With no reported setbacks, it's plausible that Pollard's DNP on Thursday could be maintenance-related.
