QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Marcus Mariota	342.7	210.8	2467.4	14.39	8.57	49.6	287.7	2.36	182.05
Desmond Ridder	228.5	138.8	1622.4	9.03	5.48	32.3	145.4	1.29	112.34

Marcus Mariota: Good news first: Mariota enters 2022 as the starter for the Falcons. The bad news? There's a strong chance that Desmond Ridder makes starts at some point this season. Mariota is off the fantasy radar in single-QB re-draft leagues, but his ability as a runner -- 264/1,574/13 (6.0 YPC) career rushing -- gives him some upside in daily fantasy tournaments, when starting.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Cordarrelle Patterson	142.3	583.4	4.27	44.6	441.7	2.2	163.63
Tyler Allgeier	107.8	468.9	3.02	18.2	143.1	0.9	93.82
Damien Williams	78.7	330.5	1.97	17.3	130.9	0.8	71.41
Keith Smith	5.4	18.9	0.11	8.4	59.3	0.3	14.48
Avery Williams	15.1	63.4	0.3	3.7	30.7	0.2	14.26

Cordarrelle Patterson: Perhaps unfair to refer to him as an age-30 breakout (since he was a four-time first-team All-Pro as a returner before 2021), but in terms of fantasy/offensive output, 2021 was by far Patterson's best. C-Patt shattered previous career highs with 205 touches, 1,166 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2021. While I like Tyler Allgeier as a sleeper, the Falcons waited until the 151st pick to draft him. In other words, Patterson remains the team's RB1.

Tyler Allgeier: The draft pedigree (fifth round) doesn't scream featured back, but he has the frame (5' 11", 224 pounds), power and vision to shoulder a heavy workload. A former linebacker (26 tackles in 2019 at BYU) as well, Allgeier was highly productive over the past two seasons with 2,731 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns over that stretch.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Drake London	72	922.2	5.1	158.82
Bryan Edwards	42.3	574.6	3.3	98.41
Olamide Zaccheaus	32.7	419.2	2.5	73.27
Damiere Byrd	11.9	143.1	0.7	24.46
KhaDarel Hodge	7	85.9	0.5	15.09
Jared Bernhardt	1.6	20.4	0.1	3.44

Drake London: With Calvin Ridley suspended and Russell Gage now in Tampa, London, the eighth overall pick in 2022, is the clear top wide receiver in Atlanta for the 2022 season. A former dual-sport athlete with basketball at USC, London knows how to use his large frame and wide catch radius to win at the catch point. One of the youngest prospects in this year's draft class (turned 21 in July), London hauled in 88 receptions for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns in just eight games last year before a broken ankle prematurely ended his season.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Kyle Pitts	73.9	936.6	5.4	163.01
Parker Hesse	9.6	110.4	0.7	20.04
John FitzPatrick	3.8	42.9	0.3	7.99
Feleipe Franks	2.6	28.6	0.2	5.36

Kyle Pitts: Scoring only one touchdown in 2021 was a bummer for fantasy managers, but Pitts is now one of only two tight ends in NFL history to reach 1,000 yards as a rookie. The former Gator creates matchup nightmares for opposing defenders and has the talent to finish as fantasy's TE1 overall as a sophomore (even if we have Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews ranked ahead of him).

Tennessee Titans 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Tennessee Titans.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Marcus Mariota	460.3	310.7	3452.3	17.03	11.51	64.6	361.8	2.58	234.85
The next time that Mariota plays a full 16-game season will be his first time. While he expects to play around 230 pounds this season, Mariota has missed eight games over the past four seasons. In Tennessee's run-first offense, Mariota threw for 180.6 yards per game and 11 touchdowns, both of which were career lows. Over the past two seasons, Mariota has thrown nearly as many interceptions (23) as touchdowns (24). Even though he has rushed for more than 300 yards in each of the past three seasons, he's not much more than a back-end QB2.
Ryan Tannehill	32	20.8	227.2	1.34	1.02	4.6	20.2	0.09	14.97

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Derrick Henry	271.3	1193.7	12.21	13.8	99.4	0.41	205.03
A disappointment through Week 13, Henry failed to rush for more than 58 yards in any of his first 12 games. Then he went off for 585 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in the last four games of the season. Fantasy's RB34 (RB39 in PPR) through Week 13, Henry was fantasy's RB1 (RB2 in PPR) over the final quarter of the season. Although he's a non-factor in the passing game, I project Henry to finish fourth in the NFL in rushing in 2019.
Dion Lewis	105	399	1.31	47.4	336.5	1.9	92.81
Lewis set career highs as a receiver with 59 receptions and 400 yards, but he isn't much more than a change-of-pace back to Henry heading into 2019.
David Fluellen	4.6	21.2	0.09	0.7	4.6	0	3.12

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Corey Davis	63.8	835.8	4.47	4.6	34.5	0.05	114.15
Davis dominated targets last season (112, 25.63 percent), but Delanie Walker missed almost all of 2018 and now the Titans have added A.J. Brown and Adam Humphries to the mix. In a run-heavy offense, the former top-five pick may struggle to build upon his 65/891/4 line in year three.
A.J. Brown	45	531	3.6	3.5	19.3	0.05	76.93
Teammate D.K. Metcalf got more attention leading up to the NFL Draft, but Brown was the more productive Ole Miss receiver. The school's all-time leader in receiving yards (2,984) and 100-yard games (12), Brown has better dynasty value than he does in re-draft leagues.
Adam Humphries	53.9	568.6	2.7	2.3	10.1	0.01	74.13
Humphries set career highs last season with 76 catches for 816 yards and five touchdowns and now has at least 55 catches for more than 600 yards in three consecutive seasons. In an offense that led the NFL in passing yards, Humphries finished as a top-24 PPR wide receiver (WR31, standard) last season. Humphries is now in an offense that is unlikely to support multiple viable fantasy wide receivers outside of the deepest PPR formats.
Taywan Taylor	18.1	238.9	0.72	1.2	6.5	0.01	28.92
Tajae Sharpe	9.5	118.8	0.57	0	0	0	15.3
Darius Jennings	1.8	16.6	0.05	0	0	0	1.96

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Delanie Walker	53.1	616	3.72	0	0	0	83.92
Walker (ankle) played just one game in 2018, but he had more than 100 targets and at least 800 yards every year from 2014 to 2017. Entering his age-35 season and coming off a serious injury, Walker's days of 100-plus targets and 800-plus yards may be over, but he's a borderline TE1/TE2 in a weak position group.
Jonnu Smith	12	150	1.2	0	0	0	22.2
Anthony Firkser	5	58	0.28	0	0	0	7.48

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Tennessee Titans

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Tennessee Titans.

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Marcus Mariota	499.6	310.3	3697	22.5	14	57.1	314.1	3.2	2.2	256.09
After throwing 45 touchdowns to 19 interceptions in his first two seasons combined, Mariota threw more interceptions (career-high 15) than touchdowns (career-low 13). On a positive note, the dual-threat quarterback ran for 300-plus yards once again and set a career high with five rushing scores. With a new coaching staff in place, I expect better things for Mariota in 2018.
Blaine Gabbert	15.5	8.8	93	0.5	0.5	4.4	15	0	0.1	6.02

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Derrick Henry	211.6	920.5	7.8	16.6	174.3	0.7	0.2	160.08
Compared to his rookie season (123 touches in 2016), Henry saw a significant bump in his workload (187 touches) in 2017. With DeMarco Murray out and Dion Lewis in, Henry should see another boost to his workload. Even with last year's increase, Henry (187) was still out-touched by Murray (223) last season. A big, bruising back (with excellent speed), Henry can wear down defenses as the game progresses.
Dion Lewis	151.5	689.3	4.4	44.6	361.3	2.7	0.3	147.06
With Lewis likely to be more involved on passing downs, Henry and Lewis should form a 1-2 punch for the Titans backfield. Even though I expect Henry to lead the duo in touches, I see somewhere in the neighborhood of a 55-45 split between the two backs. Lewis had 212 touches for the Patriots last season and finished as fantasy's RB12 (RB13 in PPR), but his week-to-week role should be even more secure in Tennessee.
Akrum Wadley	5.3	22.8	0.1	1.8	14.4	0	0.1	4.12

Corey Davis	70.1	956.9	7.4	0	0	0	1	138.09
The fifth-overall pick in last year's draft, Davis has the tools to become a true No. 1 receiver in the league. Injuries slowed him down in his rookie campaign as he finished with a 34/375/0 (regular-season) line, but the potential exists for a breakout 2018 season.
Rishard Matthews	50.5	752.5	4.8	0	0	0	0.3	103.45
After hauling in 945 yards and nine touchdowns in his first season with the Titans, Matthews posted a 53/795/4 season in 2017. While he will (or should) take a back seat to Davis, Matthews has the potential for another top-40 season and offers some late-round value.
Taywan Taylor	45.4	612.9	3.2	4.4	22.9	0	0.1	82.58
Tajae Sharpe	12.8	161.3	0.8	0	0	0	0.1	20.73
