Titans | Tyler Boyd building chemistry with QB Fri Jul 26, 01:07 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Boyd appears to have developed a good connection with QB Will Levis during the early part of training camp, in the opinion of TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
Footballguys view: Boyd probably won't be fantasy relevant in redraft leagues, but he could be an important part of this pass offense and lower the target volume and ceiling of Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins. He will be running shorter, quick opening routes from the slot, which should help establish confidence for Levis. |

Tennessee Titans RBs Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard are 'both starting players to me,' according to head coach Brian Callahan.'The fun part for me is: How are we going to deploy those guys? Maybe they both play at the same time, maybe one gets hot and you let him run, maybe we just rotate back and forth. I don't know what that's going to look like yet. But they are both going to play quite a bit of football for us, and I don't view either one of them as a starter or a back-up. They are both starting players to me,' Callahan said.
Footballguys view: That is frustrating for Fantasy GMs out there. Both are low-end RB2 options in 2024, but there is upside to do more if one gets banged up. Currently, Pollard ranks as our no.26 fantasy back in PPR formats while Spears is no.29. |

Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks 'has really grown up' this offseason, according to general manager Ran Carthon.'I think Treylon has really grown up. He sent us a picture during the offseason, this little break here, showing his new physique. He came in and he really took to heart the conversation that he had with myself and coach (Brian Callahan). And he's completely bought in. I've messaged with him throughout the offseason and I think he's in a really good spot. ... So I'm expecting things from him and just his unselfishness. I know there was some talk about him taking gunner reps (on special teams), but that was because he wanted to. He wants to prove that he can stay healthy and play top-level football,' Carthon told Turron Davenport of ESPN.
Footballguys view: Through two seasons, Burks has caught 49 passes for 665 yards with one touchdown. In 11 games last year, he had just 16 receptions for 221 yards. With high-priced free-agent addition Calvin Ridley and veteran holdover DeAndre Hopkins at the top of the receiving pecking order, fantasy managers should believe Burks is ready to make a mark when they see signs of it. |
Free-agent S Justin Simmons (Broncos) and S Quandre Diggs (Seahawks) have received interest from the Tennessee Titans.

Link to storyTennessee Titans TE Josh Whyle 'changed his body' over the offseason by focusing on becoming bigger and stronger, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com, and Wyatt believes Whyle is ready to 'make a big jump' in 2024.
Footballguys view: Whyle didn't do much as a rookie in 2023. The fifth-round pick out of Cincinnati caught nine passes for 94 yards and one touchdown in eight games. This year, Whyle will once again be the primary backup to starting TE Chigoziem Okonkwo. |
Tennessee Titans S Jamal Adams told the The Official Titans Podcast that he does not know what his role will be with the team yet. To that end, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport openly wondered on 'The Insiders' on Thursday, July 12, if the Titans signed Adams to keep him at safety or move him to linebacker - a move the Seattle Seahawks reportedly discussed during the spring.

Free-agent S Jamal Adams (Seahawks) agreed to a deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to sources Thursday, July 11. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Footballguys view: Adams isn't the same player he used to be as age and injuries have caught up to him. He's only played in 10 games over the last two seasons, but he gives the Titans veteran depth at the position. |

Tennessee Titans WRs Kyle Philips and Jha'Quan Jackson are slated to battle for one of the final roster spots, and the one that wins punt-return duties is likely to snag it.
Footballguys view: Philips has been out there for a couple of seasons as a reserve while Jackson is a rookie sixth-round pick out of Tulane. Both players are explosive and can work the underneath routes in the Titans' offense. It sounds like special teams is going to be the difference here. No matter who wins, it's wise for the Titans to try and stash a player on the practice squad. |
Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis averaged 10.6 intended air yards per pass attempt in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference. The mark was easily the highest among qualified quarterbacks, 1.6 yards more than second-place C.J. Stroud.
Footballguys view: Levis did a good job of testing a defense vertically, and passes did connect with some consistency. He was no.3 last year in completed air yards per completion at 7.1 CAY, behind Stroud (7.4) and Brock Purdy (7.2). Levis is entering year two with questions about his upside, but it's clear that going deep is (and should continue to be) part of his game. |
Tennessee Titans OT Nicholas Petit-Frere's (shoulder) availability for the start of training camp is uncertain at this point since he was not able to finish the 2023 season because of a shoulder injury.
Link to storyTennessee Titans QB Will Levis was under pressure on 28.1% of his 255 pass attempts in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference. That mark ranked second among qualified quarterbacks.
Footballguys view: Defenses will not respect Levis until he beats them under duress. We're curious to see how he looks in his second season as the Titans' starter. If Levis can handle pressure better, teams will have to think twice before blitzing. Levis is a QB3 for Fantasy GMs in redraft leagues. |
Tennessee Titans QB Malik Willis is not a lock to make the 53-man roster, Mike Moraitis of Titans Wire wrote on Monday, July 1.
Footballguys view: The Titans have put considerable effort into upgrading around Will Levis as their presumed QB of the future. The upgrades include adding former Steeler Mason Rudolph to serve as their QB2. As Moraitis put it, Rudolph is "technically competing" with Willis for the backup job, but Rudolph is easily winning the battle after the offseason program. That was always the expected outcome the moment Rudolph signed with the Titans. He'll have to seal the deal in training camp, but there has been nothing to suggest that Willis will be able to beat Rudolph out. |
Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis has worked on refining his mechanics this offseason. He realized he was moving his feet too much during play-action passes and wanted to be 'more stationary.'
Footballguys view: According to the article, Levis is very aware of his mechanics and active in continuing to improve them. The new staff has said he's very coachable, which is a good sign as Levis learns a new offense for the fourth time in four years. Levis is going at the end of drafts, but a revamped pass-first offense with an improved offensive line and experienced wide receiver group could make him a great value, especially in superflex leagues. |
Arlington Renegades WR Juwan Manigo (UFL) has received interest from the Tennessee Titans.
Link to storyTennessee Titans QB Malik Willis could still make the 53-man roster as the No. 3 quarterback, in the opinion of Jim Wyatt of the team's official site.
Footballguys view: As Wyatt explained, Willis is on the roster because the team is still developing him and believes Willis is worth keeping around. However, Wyatt also expects former Steeler Mason Rudolph to be the team's No.2 quarterback behind Will Levis. |
Tennessee Titans LB Jack Gibbens is the favorite for a starting role at linebacker this offseason, Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com wrote on Friday, June 21.
Footballguys view: Fourth round pick Cedric Gray is in the mix to start over Gibbens, but it would be a surprise if he takes the job in camp. Gray is still a good IDP dynasty stash and potential green dot linebacker who takes the call into the huddle from the sidelines. Free agent signing Kenneth Murray will man the other ILB spot in new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson's defense. |
During a recent interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Tennessee Titans P Ryan Stonehouse (knee, leg) said that he is making good progress in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee.

Link to storyTennessee Titans QB Will Levis threw four touchdowns over his final eight starts after throwing four touchdowns in his NFL debut.
Footballguys view: Let's see what Levis can do this year. He flashed a bit as a rookie, but he also had rookie struggles. The Titans did not add a quarterback this year in the draft, so Levis has the opportunity to prove himself as the starter. Mason Rudolph is there to push him for the top spot on the depth chart. |

Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Kyle Philips, CB Caleb Farley and QB Malik Willis are cut candidates this offseason, in the opinion of Bryce Lazenby of Titans Wire.
Footballguys view: The Titans added Mason Rudolph, and he should win the primary backup job behind starter Will Levis. That means Malik Willis could be on the outside looking in. He's got a cannon for an arm, and Willis can be a threat as a runner. At best, he's a Tyler Huntley-like quarterback...but he's nowhere near Huntley at this time. We'll see if Willis can show strides this offseason so the team decides to keep him around as a no.3 - perhaps even gadget - quarterback. |
