Tennessee Titans TE Chimere Dike posted four receptions for 55 yards on five targets in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while running once for seven yards. He also had a 33-yard kick return, and a 7-yard punt return.
| Footballguys view: Dike broke the rookie all-purpose yardage record that was held by Tim Brown, which was 2,317 yards in 1988. The fourth round pick has been much more capable in the passing game than expected while bringing speed and playmaker instincts to the return game. He had two games with scores as a receiver and returner this season and has the look of a future cornerstone for this offense. |
Tennessee Titans TE Chig Okonkwo posted three receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints.
| Footballguys view: Okonkwo went beast mode on his 40+ yard score, shrugging off a would-be tackler like he was the Incredible Hulk. He'll be a free agent next season, but Okonkwo has been contributing more down the stretch. It would be smart of the Titans to bring him back after the passing game weapon established chemistry with #1 pick Cam Ward. |
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 18 times for 85 yards in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while adding two receptions for 10 yards on two targets. He ended up going over the 1,000-yard rushing yard, too, hitting that milestone for the fourth consecutive season.
| Footballguys view: Pollard fell short of posting his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game, but he was still a strong performer. He might have done enough to justify playing him the $6.7 million he is due next season. Pollard showed he still has some good football left in him. Going over 1000 yards rushing for this team was quite the feat. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 21-of-40 passes for 251 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while running twice for 10 yards with two fumbles, including one lost.
| Footballguys view: Ward has been playing better as the season has gone on, and he has one of the least impressive groups of passcatchers in the league. He is poised to gain value with the Titans hopefully hiring and offensive-minded head coach and making improvements to their wide receiver room. |
Tennessee Titans DL Jeffery Simmons ended up with seven total stops, four solo tackles and a sack with a quarterback hit in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints. It was his 10th sack of the season, which is a new career high. His previous best was 8.5 sacks in 2021. He has five or more sacks in each of the past five seasons.

Tennessee Titans WR Van Jefferson (forearm) suffered a forearm injury during the Week 17 game and has been ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Interim coach Mike McCoy said after Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints that Jefferson is done for the season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reported. Jefferson won't play in the Titans' season finale against the Jaguars next weekend. As CBSSports.com suggested, Mason Kinsey and James Proche move up in the rotation behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. |

Tennessee Titans TE Gunnar Helm (toe) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 26, but is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Helm has been splitting tight end targets with Chig Okonkwo. A part-time role on a low-volume offense pushes him way out of fantasy consideration. |

CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (Achilles), TE Gunnar Helm (toe), DT Sebastian Joseph-Day (calf), LB Oluwafemi Oladejo (fibula) and OG Kevin Zeitler (groin) were limited during practice.

Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike registered three receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also had five kick returns for 122 yards, and three punt returns for 23 yards.
Link to storyTennessee Titans TE Chig Okonkwo registered six receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on a game-high eight targets in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Okonkwo got involved early and scored a rare touchdown to cap a big day for anyone that might have trusted him in lineups despite rookie Gunnar Helm playing a larger role in the passing game lately. Okonkwo should get back on the dynasty radar as an underutilized talent, and he might even be viable as a Week 17 play in fantasy championships from the waiver wire against the Saints. |
Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor had three receptions for a career-high 58 yards on four targets in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Link to storyTennessee Titans RBs Kalel Mullings and Julius Chestnut each had just a single rush in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chestnut had a 1-yard gain, and Mulling' touch went for no gain. Neither player was targeted in the passing game.
Link to storyTennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears rushed 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding five receptions for 53 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Spears wasn't in fantasy lineups - or even on many redraft rosters - for this one, but he looked explosive as a runner and receiver and shouldn't be abandoned in dynasty leagues. He'll be a what-the-heck flex against the Saints in Week 17. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 21 times for 102 yards in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard posted his third straight 100-yard game, but Tyjae Spears got the rushing touchdown, so it wasn't a big success for fantasy despite the comfortable home win for the Titans. Consider him an upside flex play for the fantasy championship round next week against the Saints. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 21-of-28 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he ran four times for nine yards.
| Footballguys view: Ward was a very good QB2/Superflex play against a Chiefs team that seems to be packing up early for the offseason vacation. He'll have a tougher matchup next week against the resurgent Saints defense, but with so many quarterbacks getting hurt, he's a solid QB2/Superflex play again next week. |
