Titans | Gunnar Helm a future TE1? Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Gunnar Helm's toughness and hands have earned praise from the coaching staff, and ESPN's Matt Miller believes Helm could become the team's starting tight end this season.
| Footballguys view: Chig Okonkwo finished last year strong and was in with the starters a lot earlier in the preseason, but the trend here favors the rookie Helm. Okonkwo doesn't add much as a blocker and Helm has been dependable for fellow rookie QB Cam Ward. |
Titans | JC Latham dealing with injury Sun Aug 31, 03:27 PM
Tennessee Titans OT JC Latham (undisclosed) did not participate in practice this week, but head coach Brian Callahan is optimistic about Latham's availability for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: The only detail we got from Callahan about the nature of Latham's absence was "general soreness". Callahan doesn't seem worried about it, so we're not worried about that in particular. We are generally worried, however, about Cam Ward facing the Broncos defense to open his NFL career, and if Latham ends up not ready to play, we will only be more worried. Don't be surprised if it's a long afternoon for the Tennessee offense. |
Titans | Kalel Mullings status up in the air Sat Aug 30, 02:46 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Kalel Mullings (ankle) may be questionable for the Week 1 game, in the opinion of TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
| Footballguys view: The Titans may have to face the Broncos in Week 1 with just Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut in the backfield. With Tyjae Spears on IR-R, Mullings is the no.3 back on the depth chart in Tennessee. |
Titans | Calvin Ridley looking to help rookie QB Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley said he is looking to play well this season so he can help QB Cam Ward during his rookie season. 'It was like, this kid's good and I got to be good. I can't fall behind. I got to be a help. I got to be a big help cause it's time to dominate,' Ridley said.
| Footballguys view: Ward and Ridley have spent time away from the facility working on route concepts, and the rookie QB thinks the veteran receiver is one of the five best in the NFL. That's high praise, and Ridley does provide fantasy value as a low-end WR2 or WR3/flex with upside. |

Tennessee Titans RB Kalel Mullings (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.
Link to story Titans | Tony Pollard expects heavy workload again Thu Aug 28, 01:28 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard acknowledged Thursday, Aug. 28, that he expects to get most of the carries this season, according to a report from ESPN.com Turron Davenport. Pollard said that knowing he'll get the bulk of the carries won't change his preparation, but that 'it is a good feeling to know he'll be in for the whole game, not coming in and out, so he can be more relaxed and get into a good flow.'
| Footballguys view: Tyjae Spears (ankle) is on IR designated to return, so he's out the first four weeks of the regular season. That means it's Pollard as the Titans three-down back and featured player on offense. We'll see what rookie QB Cam Ward can do, but having a rushing quarterback could help open things up for Pollard. Fantasy GMs see Pollard as a RB3/flex option. |

Titans | Multiple players added to practice squad Wed Aug 27, 04:09 PM
Free-agent WR Mason Kinsey (Titans), WR Xavier Restrepo (Titans), WR James Proche (Titans), QB Trevor Siemian (Titans), RB Jordan Mims (Titans), Jermar Jefferson (Titans) and TE Thomas Odukoya (Titans) were signed to the Tennessee Titans practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Restrepo is the player we want to watch most here, but only in super deep dynasty formats. A college teammate of QB Cam Ward, Restrepo is a slot-only receiver who can work underneath routes. He's quicker than he is fast, but Restrepo can be a reliable target to move the chains. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears to IR Tue Aug 26, 11:07 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Aug. 26, with a high-ankle sprain and will miss the first four games.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick in the 2023 draft, Spears registered 536 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns in 12 games last season. He has rushed for 765 yards with six touchdowns in 29 career games with two starts. Spears' injury hurts the Titans' depth at running back behind Tony Pollard. Remember, the plan heading into camp was a more even split between Pollard and Spears. We'll be watching to see if anybody claims that work. With cuts still to come, Tennessee's other running backs are Julius Chestnut, Jermar Jefferson, Jordan Mims, and Kalel Mullings. |

Titans | Calvin Ridley tracking for Week 1 Tue Aug 26, 01:10 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (undisclosed) has missed time in training camp in recent weeks, but coach Brian Callahan feels he is on pace for return prior to Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Ridley sat out the final two preseason games while battling some soreness. As Footballguy Jason Wood notes, Ridley isn't without his flaws, but his ADP puts him as a middling WR3 when the reality is he'll see a massive target share from his rookie quarterback and is the only proven playmaker in the receiving corps. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears still using scooter Tue Aug 26, 01:09 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain suffered about two weeks ago, and he continues to use a safety boot and a scooter to move around.
| Footballguys view: Relegated in his rookie season to backing up Derrick Henry and giving him breathers on passing downs, Footballguy Sam Wagman notes that Spears didn't get to show his full range of talents that had him drafted on Day 2 of the NFL Draft, but once healthy, he should get that chance this season. Spears and Tony Pollard will helm the new-look Titans' backfield. But Spears, who has gotten consistent positive buzz all preseason according to our Footballguys Preseason Reports, will have plenty of opportunities to show his skills. |

Link to story Titans | Elic Ayomanor has a future starting role in sight Fri Aug 22, 11:49 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor has made big plays down the field and across the middle, which makes him a candidate as the future 'X' receiver once he finds more consistency.
Link to story Titans | Gunnar Helm earning trust Fri Aug 22, 11:47 AM
Tennessee Titans TE Gunnar Helm has showcased the ability to find windows in zone coverage and win on seam routes, which has made him a trusted target for QB Cam Ward. It has given Helm more looks with the first-team in 12-personnel sets and plays when he's the only tight end on the field.
| Footballguys view: Chig Okonkwo got a lot of first team snaps earlier in the preseason, but Helm is generating buzz and will probably keep Okonkwo from having a significantly larger role in the offense than he had last year. It's not clear that the Titans pass offense will support the value of more than one (Calvin Ridley) passcatcher this season. |
Titans | Chimere Dike working in the slot Fri Aug 22, 11:32 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike has earned a reserve slot receiver role and could see action on special teams.
Link to story Titans | Cam Ward connecting with Calvin Ridley in deep passing game Fri Aug 22, 10:57 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has become a leader on the field, and his trash talk at defensive teammates has provided a spark in practice. He has showcased a deep passing ability with WR Calvin Ridley. He is focused on staying on schedule and getting the ball out when he gets to the top of his drops. 'His timing is up to date,' Ridley said. 'He whips it, he's confident, it's smooth. It's an easy, catchable ball.'
| Footballguys view: If anyone benefits from Ward's arrival in what should be an up and down year for the Titans offense at best, it would be Ridley. The quality of wide receivers around Ridley's range of the draft is better than usual, but if he and Ward can get on the same page on deep balls and extended plays, Ridley could be one of the biggest hits of the mid rounds. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears to miss a few weeks Mon Aug 11, 04:18 PM
Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is expected to miss a few weeks due to the high ankle sprain he suffered in the preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Brian Callahan said Sunday, Aug. 10. He isn't expected to return this preseason, but the team is hopeful he'll be ready for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: It's possible that Spears is limited, or even out for Week 1 against the Broncos. Tony Pollard has some extra early season value, Spears drops down on the upside backup running back late round target list. Spears reputation as an injury-prone player isn't changing any time soon. |

| Footballguys view: The Titans want Spears and Tony Pollard to have a roughly equal split, but Spears can't stay healthy. Fantasy football rankings already assumed that Spears would miss time and give Pollard some clear lead back starts, but Pollard's ADP should still go up on this news. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward will play in three preseason games, according to head coach Brian Callahan. Ward is expected to play one or two series in the first preseason game Saturday, Aug. 9.
| Footballguys view: Ward has a big arm and supreme athleticism as a scrambler. His game may be a bit raw, but that's what the preseason is for. The Titans play the Broncos in Week 1 of the regular season, so Ward is going to face the toughest defense in the league in the opener. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears likely to see more work Mon Aug 4, 11:46 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears has positioned himself for an uptick as he has been explosive running through holes in camp. Last season, he ran the ball 84 times and had 30 catches. Something close to 100 carries wouldn't be shocking, and the team hopes he can avoid the injury bug that took five games from him last year.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted, the Titans used a 75-25 share between Tony Pollard and Spears last season. Pollard isn't shrinking in stature -- he's the feature back and one of their best players. But Fowler reports Spears has looked explosive running through holes, and the Titans hope he can stave off injury after he missed five games in 2024. Pollard remains a value with an RB28 ADP, while Spears could offer value as well, at RB41. Spears finished as RB42 last season. |

Titans | Tyler Lockett's role shifting Mon Aug 4, 11:11 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Lockett's role will have to shift with the Titans as he's expected to play more inside now. Lockett is known for avoiding hits by getting down at opportune times, and he said he might have to absorb more hits now as he fights for tough yards in a new offense. He's willing to do whatever it takes. 'You've got to let go of that pride of, 'I know how to do this' and you've got to go back to the learning stage and be coachable,' Lockett said. '[It's about] learning things new and down the road creating those relationships so that they know when you're doing what you're asked to do, they will be more open to ideas that you might have.'
| Footballguys view: Expectations for Lockett are low, as reflected by his WR81 Average Draft Position. While he's a free-square play, going with the 238th pick overall, taking chances on role players in lower-end offenses isn't the path to fantasy success. |

Titans | Cam Ward being blitzed hard Mon Aug 4, 10:47 AM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward struggled against exotic third-down rush packages in the second practice ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler observed. 'We've put him under quite a bit of stress when it comes to that,' head coach Brian Callahan said. 'He's got a really good understanding of football, and he's able to apply it on the field quickly, which I think is what drew us to him in the draft. He has this ability to process that is pretty unique.'
| Footballguys view: Fowler went on to note that Ward performed exactly how you'd expect a talented but green rookie to perform. The struggles with the exotic rush packages are viewed as part of the maturation. Ward is handling the off-field portion of his job well, leading the way in drawing several rookies to arrive between 4:30 and 5 each morning to get ready for the day. He's also putting in additional prep time with Callahan. "He works really, really hard," Callahan said. "The work ethic thing is legit." As it should be. Meanwhile, Ward is being drafted as QB24. |
