QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
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.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Derrick Henry2731187.610.2433.9275.61.5233.71
Tyjae Spears84.2357.92.1120.9159.10.980.21
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.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DeAndre Hopkins86.9993.55.5000175.8
Treylon Burks59809.24.47.257.60.36144.74
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine33.5452.12.500076.96
Kyle Philips23.6250.31.300044.63

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.

TIGHT ENDS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Chigoziem Okonkwo47.4558.93.21.260.0699.75
Trevon Wesco13.7147.50.900027
Josh Whyle9.195.10.600017.66

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.
