Ryan Tannehill490.4318.33604.420.1110.366.22782.81248.68
Malik Willis39.823.8276.61.471.4514.475.60.7225.92

Ryan Tannehill: Tannehill missed five games in 2022 and averaged fewer than 14 fantasy points per game for the season. Even though he was a fringe top-12 weekly quarterback in five of 12 games, he had only one 20-point performance (20.02, Week 11) all season. With the addition of DeAndre Hopkins to the receiving corps, Tannehill may turn out to be undervalued for those in 2-QB or Super Flex formats.

Julius Chestnut34.9143.10.844.634.90.226.34

Derrick Henry: The usual concerns — age, cumulative career workload, modest receiving numbers, etc. — apply to Henry, but he's guaranteed a massive workload, as long as he remains healthy. Henry set a career high in receptions (33) in 2022, but he actually averaged more receptions per game in 2021 (2.3) than 2022 (2.1). Despite the modest receiving totals, here are Henry's half-PPR scoring finishes on a points-per-game basis (min. 8G played) over the past four years: third in 2022 (17.9), first in 2021 (23.0), third in 2020 (20.2) and second (tied) in 2019 (19.0), respectively.

Tyjae Spears: The Titans used a top-100 (81st overall) on Spears, who was extremely productive for Tulane, and he's a worthwhile stash/handcuff late in drafts. Spears had an impressive preseason, ranking third in yards after contact per attempt (4.73) among running backs with at least 10 preseason carries, per PFF.

Colton Dowell2.123.30.10003.98
Kearis Jackson1.719.40.10003.39

DeAndre Hopkins: Hopkins has missed a total of 15 games over the past two seasons due to either injury or suspension, and he joins the run-first Titans after being released by the Cardinals this offseason. In his nine games played last season, however, he averaged 10.7 targets per game and a 7.1/79.7/0.3 stat line.

Treylon Burks: Burks had a modest 33 catches for 444 yards and a touchdown in 11 games as a rookie last season. ESPN's Turron Davenport noted earlier this summer that Burks had a "noticeably leaner build" this year and he's "playing at a different speed from his rookie season." While I project a considerable jump in production, the Hopkins' signing and a recent knee injury (although he recently returned to practice) temper expectations.

Chigoziem Okonkwo: Okonkwo finished second on the team in receiving yards last year to Robert Woods, who is no longer on the roster. The rookie ended the year with 32 receptions for 450 yards (14.1 Y/R) and three touchdowns. There is some breakout potential (albeit less following the DeAndre Hopkins signing) heading into the athletic (4.52 40-yard dash) tight end's second year. Among tight ends with 30-plus targets in 2022, Okonkwo led the position in YAC per reception (7.8) and yards per route run (2.61), per PFF stats.

Ryan Tannehill: Tannehill missed five games in 2022 and averaged fewer than 14 fantasy points per game for the season. Even though he was a fringe top-12 weekly quarterback in five of 12 games, he had only one 20-point performance (20.02, Week 11) all season. If the team (or Tannehill) struggles, it wouldn't be a surprise if the Titans transitioned to second-round pick Will Levis at some point during the season. If not, he may be undervalued for those in 2-QB or super flex formats.

Hassan Haskins24.11000.549.466.10.326.35
Jonathan Ward13.254.10.291.511.70.19.67

Derrick Henry: There are certainly concerns — age, cumulative career workload, the team's offensive issues, etc. Even so, Henry has led the NFL in rush attempts in three of the past four seasons (including 349 in 2022) and he's guaranteed a massive workload, as long as he remains healthy. He set a career high in receptions (33) in 2022, but he actually averaged more receptions per game in 2021 (2.3) than 2022 (2.1).

Of course, it would be preferred for Henry to be more involved as a receiver, but his relative lack of involvement in the passing game has been an over-emphasized reason to avoid Henry (at least in half-PPR formats). Here is where Henry has finished on a points-per-game basis in half-PPR scoring over the past four years (min. 8G played): third in 2022 (17.9), first in 2021 (23.0), third in 2020 (20.2) and second (tied) in 2019 (19.0), respectively.

Tyjae Spears: The Titans used a top-100 (81st overall) on Spears, who was extremely productive for Tulane. He's looked good this preseason, and he's a worthwhile stash/handcuff late in drafts.

ESPN's Turron Davenport noted earlier this summer that Burks had a "noticeably leaner build" this year and he's "playing at a different speed from his rookie season." Odds of a breakout have declined more recently, however, after the Titans signed Hopkins and then Burks sprained his LCL, an injury that will sideline him a few weeks.

Malik Willis36.823261.31.441.0714.378.70.7926.68

Ryan Tannehill: As disappointing of a year as it was for Tannehill, he still finished as fantasy's QB12 in 2021. Tannehill posted three-year worsts in TD% (4.0), INT% (2.6), Y/A (7.0) and passer rating (89.6), but he rushed for seven scores for a second consecutive season. Especially with the Titans trading away A.J. Brown, Tannehill is better viewed as a QB2 than a back-end QB1.

Tory Carter2.69.60.071.29.50.13.53
Julius Chestnut5.222.40.010.75.703.22

Derrick Henry: Henry has never had 20 receptions in a season and more involvement in the passing game is preferred, but he finished as a top-three fantasy running back in half-PPR formats in both 2019 and 2020. Even with his limited receiving role, he finished no worse than RB5 in full PPR formats in his past two full seasons. His dominance as a rusher (303/1,540/16 and 378/2,207/17, respectively) more than compensates for a relatively modest receiving role.

Through Week 8 last season, Henry rushed for 219/937/10, equivalent to a 465/1,991/21 full-season pace, and was fantasy's RB1 across all scoring formats. One could argue that missing the final nine regular-season games last year boosts his outlook for 2022 given the heavy workloads he has shouldered over the past few seasons.

Racey McMath7.9106.60.700018.81
Cody Hollister1.4190.10003.2

Robert Woods: Woods missed the second half of the 2021 season with a torn ACL, but he had more than 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of the previous three seasons. Over those three most recent full seasons, Woods has finished as fantasy's WR13 (2020), WR17 (2019) and WR10 (2018), respectively, in half-PPR formats. Now in Tennessee and returning from an ACL tear, a top-20 finish may not be in the cards for Woods, but I think there's a good chance that he turns out to be undervalued compared to his current ADP.

Treylon Burks: While he's even drawn some pre-draft comparisons to A.J. Brown, Burks is obviously a downgrade from Tennessee's former stud receiver in the immediate term. While he's not yet a polished route-runner, Burks, who has said that he models his game after Deebo Samuel, has the versatility to make an impact in a variety of ways. Consistency may be elusive as a rookie, but he should have a few big games in 2022.

Austin Hooper: Hooper's efficiency during two seasons as a Brown (9.3 Y/R, 6.0 Y/T and 64.3% catch rate) dropped considerably from his four years in Atlanta (10.5 Y/R, 8.1 Y/T and 77.3% catch rate). Not surprisingly, Hooper finished outside the top-20 fantasy tight ends in each of the past two seasons after a pair of top-10 fantasy seasons in 2018-19. Given that the Titans operate a run-heavy but still TE-friendly offense, Hooper offers some upside, especially for those in deeper TE-premium leagues.
