Fantasy News
Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jeff Fisher continued to be noncommittal on Saturday whether Harper (broken forearm) will be back on Monday night, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: When Harper does return, he will be wearing a protective brace to protect his forearm that has a plate in it for healing purposes. Kenny Britt - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'3" - 218lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Britt will be starting at receiver for the second straight game Monday, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Britt continues to get the starting nod while Justin Gage (back) is injured. Last week he only had two catches. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Houston, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Thornton's been a lackluster fantasy play this season (41 tackles, one sack, no interceptions) and this injury makes him an even shakier option. We recommend looking for a healthier body for Week 11. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
Fanball
News: According to the Associated Press, Titans wideout Justin Gage has been officially ruled inactive for Monday's game with a back injury.
Impact: Gage has been out since November 8th with broken bones in his back, and will be replaced in the starting lineup once again by rookie Kenny Britt. Don't count on him for fantasy production though, as he caught just two passes all game in Week 10. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage (back) has officially been ruled out of Monday's game against Houston, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Gage didn't practice all week and will again be replaced in the lineup by Kenny Britt. We'll revisit Gage's status next week. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) did not practice Friday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: More on Thornton's status Saturday, once the Titans release their Week 11 injury report. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage (back) did not practice Friday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: We'll have to see where Gage is listed Saturday, but it's not looking good for him for Monday's game against the Texans. Jason Jones - #91 - Defensive Tackle - 6'5" - 280lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jones (shoulder) did not practice on Friday and is questionable for Monday's game against the Texans, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Jones has played in the last four games while dealing with his shoulder and may again on Monday. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper participated in practice Friday and is expected to be back in the starting lineup against the Titans Monday night.
Impact: Harper has not played since breaking his forearm on October 11. Coach Jeff Fisher says that he "feels good", but they'll wait to make an official decision on whether Harper will play or not prior to game time. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Justin Gage missed practice for the second straight day Friday, according to the Texans' official website.
Impact: Gage missed Week 10 with a back ailment, and he is uncertain to return for Monday night's game at Houston. His potential absence would afford more targets for Nate Washington and rookie Kenny Britt. Kenny Britt - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'3" - 218lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Britt is expected to start at receiver again on Monday night against the Texans, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Britt has not gotten much opportunity to become a top receiver so far this year, but he will get more Monday with Justin Gage out with a back injury. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: David Thornton was limited in Friday's practice after sitting out yesterday, according to the Texans' official website.
Impact: Thornton missed Week 9 with a hip injury, and only mustered three tackles (two solo) last weekend against the Bills. Pencil him into IDP lineups with caution if deemed fit to play Monday night at Houston. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage (back) is expected to miss Monday's game against the Texans, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Gage has yet to practice all week and missed last week's game. "I am doing a (heck) of a lot better this week than last week," Gage said. "But I am taking it day by day." Kenny Britt is likely to start in his place. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jeff Fisher announced that Harper (broken forearm) will be back as a starting cornerback when he returns to the lineup, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Harper may return Monday against the Texans, but if not, likely in Week 12. His return will send Rod Hood to the bench. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Titans' wide receiver Justin Gage missed practice on Thursday with a back injury, according to the team's official website. Gage is expected to be out for the second straight week due to the injury.
Impact: Gage was projected to miss two weeks with the injury, so it looks like he will be out again. It's not out of the question that he could return this week, but it looks highly unlikely. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chris Johnson has guaranteed that the Titans will finish the season 10-6, according to HoustonTexans.com. Tennessee is 3-6 after beginning the season 0-6.
Impact: While Johnson is a phenomenon on the field, he appears to be a hopeless romantic off of it. Regardless of how many games Tennessee wins in its next seven, Johnson should rush for over 100 yards in a lot of them. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (broken forearm) has been cleared to return to action, but he might need more time before he plays in a game, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: In other words, despite the fact that he won't be on the Titans' injury report this week, there's still pretty decent chance he will be on the team's inactive list Monday. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage (back) did not practice Thursday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Unless Gage does some quick healing, look for Kenny Britt to see added work again in his place Monday against the Texans. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
STATS
News: The 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year has posted a passer rating of 90.4 or better in three straight games for the first time in his short career, and he is running effectively.
Impact: Coincidence or not, the Titans are showing signs of life after the 0-6 start prompted owner Bud Adams to insist that coach Jeff Fisher start the quarterback Adams had watched through high school and college in Texas. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Nick Harper has been deemed fit to resume practicing following his recovery from a broken forearm, according to the Tennessean.
Impact: Harper may need more time before he returns to game action though. He missed the last four games, and should remain held out of IDP lineups until further notice. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Johnson ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns, and he caught nine passes for 100 more and the Tennessee Titans beat the Buffalo Bills 41-17 Sunday for their third straight victory.
Impact: Johnson walked into his post-game news conference carrying the Terrell Owens jersey the receiver had promised the running back if the Titans beat Buffalo. Johnson's owners, meanwhile, continue to reap the rewards of drafting the super-fast running back, who has blossomed into perhaps the best player in all of fantasy football and even prompted speculation of a bid for a 2,000-yard season. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Young threw for 210 yards, a touchdown and an interception, adding 29 rushing yards as the Titans beat Buffalo 41-17 on Sunday.
Impact: While Young improved to 3-0 as a starter this year, his numbers remained modest as the Titans continue to rely on star running back Chris Johnson. The formula is working, so don't expect it to change anytime soon. Keith Bulluck - #53 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 235lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Keith Bulluck piled up 11 solo tackles and one assist in the Week 10 win over the Bills.
Impact: Bulluck, 32, is having a rebound season after fading in recent campaigns. Fantasy owners who bet on the veteran have to be loving his work. Nate Washington - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 185lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Nate Washington caught two passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 win over the Bills.
Impact: Washington is up to five touchdowns, which ties a career-high, but he has also finished with fewer than 40 yards in five straight contests. The scores are nice, but it's still tough to count on Nate. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chris Johnson faced the league's worst rush defense in Week 10, and he ran wild on the Bills in more than one way. He rushed 26 times for 132 yards and two scores, and he added nine receptions for 100 yards.
Impact: That's the first 100/100 game of Johnson's career, but we have a feeling that it won't be the last. Johnson, Adrian Peterson, and Maurice Jones-Drew are far and away the best three fantasy running backs right now, and it looks like a three-way race for the fantasy MVP award. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White was able to play Sunday against the Titans but only carried the ball three times for six yards.
Impact: Even with the Bills bad run defense, White was unable and not given much of an opportunity to make the most of it Sunday. With Chris Johnson running the ball the way he has, why would the Titans give it to any one else though? It appears as if White has become the clear back up to Johnson and we can't see any reason to start him on your fantasy team at this point. Roderick Hood - #37 - Cornerback - 5'11" - 198lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hood made three tackles and one interception against the Bills on Sunday.
Impact: Hood came to the Titans in mid-October due to all of the team's injuries, and he has shown he may have belonged there the entire time. He's played four games now this season for the Titans and has one interception in three of them. Keith Bulluck - #53 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 235lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bullock made 12 total tackles Sunday against the Bills, 11 of them being solo.
Impact: Bullock was the leading game tackler for the Titans for the first time in several weeks and he got double digits in tackles for just the second time this year. Rob Bironas - #2 - Kicker - 6'0" - 215lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bironas attempted three field goals and hit two of them, the longest from 51 yards. He was also a perfect 5-of-5 in extra points Sunday in a win against the Bills.
Impact: Bironas has been kicking well all year. Sunday he missed his first field goal since Week 1. Kenny Britt - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'3" - 218lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Britt started at wide receiver Sunday against the Bills and caught just two passes for a total of 55 yards.
Impact: Britt started in place of Justin Gage (back) and he may continue to start for several more weeks. He's yet to catch his first career touchdown, but if he continues to get starter playing time, we don't see that lasting much longer. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Young completed 17 of his 25 passing attempts for 210 yards Sunday. He threw both one touchdown and one interception. Young also ran the ball five times for 29 yards.
Impact: Young has now started three games in a row for the Titans, and they have won each game. He is playing well, and though his numbers are not big, he continues to improve his statistics each week. If this continues, you may want to give him an opportunity to start on your fantasy team if your current quarterback is not playing well. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chris Johnson ripped off a 32-yard run in the second quarter of the Week 10 game against the Bills. The effort pushed him over 1,000 rushing yards for the season, and he is the first back to hit that mark this year.
Impact: Johnson may be on his way to a fourth straight effort of at least 125 yards. We've run out of ways to say that he is a stud. Nate Washington - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 185lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Washington caught just two passes for 33 yards Sunday against the Bills, but one catch was for a 19-yard touchdown.
Impact: Washington has not had the numbers of a true No. 1 receiver so far this year, but he leads the Titans with five touchdown catches on the year and that may continue to increase with Vince Young as his new quarterback. He has caught a touchdown pass in two of the three wins. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Johnson gained 132 yards on the ground and scored twice. He also caught nine passes for an additional 100 yards.
Impact: Johnson took advantage of the Bills' poor run defense in a big win Sunday. He continues to excel as the clear No. 1 back on the Titans and was the first running back in the NFL to exceed the 1,000 yard mark. Sunday was his third game in a row with two rushing touchdowns. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: LenDale White (illness) is active for the Week 10 game against the Bills.
Impact: The Bills own the league's worst run defense, and it's sad that White still isn't a good fantasy play this week. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Week 10 inactives: WR Justin Gage, CB Nick Harper, RB Javon Ringer, CB Jason McCourty, LB Stanford Keglar, OL Troy Kropog.
Impact: Cortland Finnegan, LenDale White, David Stewart, and David Thornton are all active, but the secondary continues to be short-handed without Harper. Kenny Britt will start in place of Gage. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stewart (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: He returns to give Vince Young some added protection up front after sitting out Week 9. Jevon Kearse - #90 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 265lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kearse (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: Kearse is a name brand, but he hasn't been a relevant IDP this season. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: It looks safe to roll with Thornton this week if he is one of your IDPs. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: Feel free to go with Finnegan this week if he is one of you IDPs. He's coming off an eight-tackle/one pick effort in Week 9. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: White has been less of factor this season than in 2008, mostly due to the outstanding play of teammate Chris Johnson, but he's out there if you need him this week. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: Even if healthy, Ringer was unlikely to see many touches playing behind Chris Johnson and LenDale White. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (forearm) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: Look for Rod Hood to start for Harper at corner once again this week. Harper practiced this week and could return for Week 11. Dominique Edison - #19 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 204lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The Titans have promoted receiver Dominique Edison from their practice squad, according to the Tennessean.
Impact: Edison will provide depth with Justin Gage out for Week 10 with a back injury. He likely won't register a blip on the fantasy radar against the Bills. Fernando Velasco - #61 - Center - 6'4" - 304lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Fernando Velasco has been released by the Titans, according to the Tennessean. The club signed receiver Dominique Edison as the adjoining move.
Impact: Velasco could return to Tennessee's practice squad if another club does not pick him up. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Cortland Finnegan has been dealt a $5,000 fine for tackling 49ers' running back Frank Gore by his facemask in Week 9, according to the Tennessean.
Impact: Finnegan was flagged with a personal foul infraction when the illegal tackle occured in the game. Dominique Edison - #19 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 204lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Edison has been added to the Titans' 53-man roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact: Edison has played in two games so far this season, but he has not made a catch in his short career. He has been on the team's practice squad the last few weeks, but could see some playing time Sunday with all the injuries at that position and potentially his first career catch. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Titans' tackle David Stewart practiced fully on Friday for the first time since his hamstring injury, according to the Nashville City Paper. Stewart is expected to play this week against the Bills.
Impact: Stewart missed last week's game due to the injury, but it looks like he should be able to get back in there tomorrow. Chris Johnson looks poised for another big game this week, and the return of Stewart would only help his cause. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White returned to practice Friday after missing the previous two days with an illness, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: He's listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Bills, but the fact that he was out there with the team Friday is a sign that he has a good chance to play. Check back with us Sunday though if he is someone your are considering this week against the Bills' giving run defense. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Cortland Finnegan fully practiced Friday, according to the Titans' official website.
Impact: Finnegan has been nursing an ailing hamstring, but the star cornerback is expected to play Sunday against the Bills. He hauled in three interceptions over five outings this season. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: LenDale White fully practiced Friday after sitting out the previous two days, according to the Titans' official website. He is recovering from an illness.
Impact: White could be recovered in time to play in Sunday's game against the Bills, but is not a recommended fantasy option while getting limited carries behind star Chris Johnson. Jevon Kearse - #90 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 265lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Jevon Kearse fully practiced Friday after being limited yesterday, according to the Titans' official website.
Impact: Kearse missed the last four games, and the 33-year-old vet is questionable for Sunday's home game against Buffalo. He is not an option for IDP leagues if deemed fit to return to action. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Nick Harper fully practiced for the third straight day Friday, according to the Titans' official website.
Impact: This is encouraging, but Harper is still questionable for Sunday's home game against Buffalo. The cornerback missed the last three games with a forearm injury. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: David Thornton is questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo, according to the Titans' official website.
Impact: Thornton missed Week 9 with a hip injury, and was limited in practice all week. The Bills' offense could catch a break if the solid strong-side linebacker is forced to miss another game. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Johnson gets a juicy matchup in Week 10 when the Titans square off against the Bills, who have the league's worst rushing defense.
Impact: The Bills are also missing several starters on defense, so unless they just put their corners on an island and go with nine men in the box, Johnson should enjoy plenty of daylight on Sunday. Imagine if you owned Johnson and Adrian Peterson in Week 10? These may be the most attractive running back plays all season. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: It looks safe to roll with Finnegan this week if he is one of you IDPs, especially on the heels of his eight-tackle/one pick effort in Week 9. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) practiced fully for the second straight day Friday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Despite that, he is still listed as questionable. Regardless of whether or not he plays this week, he is a depth guy at this point and would need an injury or two in the Titans' backfield to occur before he'd merit fantasy consideration. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stewart (hamstring) practiced on Friday and could return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Bills, the Tennessean reports. "I guess so. We'll see," Stewart said when asked if he would play this week. "You just don't overdo it and get back in there. … I'm good now."
Impact: He's listed as questionable, but he could be back to give Vince Young some added protection up front after sitting out Week 9. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Despite practicing fully this week, Harper (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, the Titans' officials site reports.
Impact: The Titans could well go the cautious route here and hold Harper out another week, despite the progress he's made. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after being limited at practice all week, the Titans' officials site reports.
Impact: Thornton was inactive in Week 9, so check back with us Sunday if he is someone you'd consider as an IDP this week. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills after suffering broken bones in his back in Week 9, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: It sounds like this won't be the only game he misses, so look for Kenny Britt to see added work in the coming weeks in Gage's place. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stewart (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: It appears as if Stewart will likely miss his second game in a row against the Bills this Sunday. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) returned to practice on Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: The Titans have replaced Ringer as the return man since he has been out and Chris Johnson has emerged as the NFL's rushing leader. Whether Ringer plays Sunday or not, it is unlikely he'll receive many touches, even if LenDale White (illness) can't play. Jevon Kearse - #90 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 265lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kearse (knee, questionable) was limited at practice Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Kearse has not been playing well all year and his playing time has dwindled significantly even when he's healthy. We don't expect him to be a huge factor on defense this Sunday against the Bills, if he even plays. Kenny Britt - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'3" - 218lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
STATS
News: With Justin Gage suffering several broken transverse process bones in his lower back, Britt will make his first start Sunday against Buffalo.
Impact: The first-round pick out of Rutgers is the team's third-leading receiver with 20 catches for 296 yards, and he is averaging 14.8 yards per catch. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (forearm) participated in a full practice Thursday, but is still not cleared for contact, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Harper said he thinks he is ready to play, but "you won't really know until you get out there. I've never had a break before so I don't know how to judge a break. … They say it's no way you can go out there and hurt it again, but coming back this soon, you definitely know you're not fully healed." Despite being able to practice this week, he figures to be listed as questionable Friday. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday, but is expected to play against the Bills Sunday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Finnegan is back on the IDP radar, coming off an eight-tackle effort in Week 9 and with picks in each of his last two games. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White (illness) missed his second practice in a row Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: We'll see what White does Friday -- and how the Titans list him for Week 10 -- but healthy or not, he's been less of factor this season, largely due to the fine play of teammate Chris Johnson. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
Fanball
News: According to the Nashnville Tennessean, Justin Gage is expected to miss at least two weeks with multiple fractures in his back.
Impact: Gage broke transverse process bones in his back while making a leaping grab in last week's game against the 49ers. He is not expected to require surgery, but his bones will need significant time to heal. Rookie Kenny Britt is expected to take his place and move into the starting lineup.

News: With Justin Gage out with a back injury, Britt is expected to move into the Titans' starting lineup against the Bills Sunday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: The Titans remain a run-first team, but Britt has had his moments this season and Gage caught four Vince Young passes last week for 97 yards. It looks like Gage will miss at least a couple of weeks, so Britt is probably worth grabbing if you have a roster spot to make a speculative pickup. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage suffered multiple fractures of small bones in his back during Week 9's game and is unlikely to play against the Bills Sunday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: We'll go out on a limb here and say that he'll be a no-go Sunday. Coach Jeff Fisher said that Gage would not require surgery but it's unsure how long the wideout will be sidelined, though in the past it's the sort of thing that typically sidelines players at least a couple of weeks. As a result, Kenny Britt is expected to move into the starting lineup this weekend in Gage's place. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: More on the status of Thornton, who sat out in Week 9, as the week continues. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) did not practice Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Ringer remains iffy for Week 10, though at this point he is the team's clear-cut No. 3 guy when healthy and as such has limited fantasy value. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (forearm) practiced fully Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Perhaps things are finally starting to come together haelth-wise for a Titans' secondary that was lit up by the Patriots in Week 6. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: We'll see what Finegan does Thursday, but it's quite possible that Wednesday was simply a rest/maintenance day for the cornerback. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White (illness) did not practice Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: White is well off his 2008 pace and that's not likely to change anytime soon, at least as long as Chris Johnson remains healthy and continues to tear it up. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
STATS
News: Gage has several broken transverse bones in his lower back, and will not play Sunday against Buffalo. The injury likely means rookie Kenny Britt makes his first start against the Bills (3-5). The first-round pick out of Rutgers is the team's third-leading receiver with 20 catches for 296 yards, and he is averaging 14.8 yards per catch.
Impact: The receiver was injured when he fell to the ground after making a leaping catch to set up the go-ahead touchdown in last week's 34-27 win at San Francisco. Gage started hurting once the adrenaline wore off and the Titans ran a variety of X-rays and CAT scans. Coach Jeff Fisher said Thursday the tests revealed the multiple fractures Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage missed practice on Wednesday due to a sore back and whether he will play on Sunday is in question at this point, the Tennessean reports. "He landed hard (Sunday) and his low back is sore," coach Jeff Fisher said. "We are doing X-rays, CAT scans … and at this point we don't have any information. I don't see him as being out this week yet, but he is very sore."
Impact: More on Gage's status as the week continues, but if he can't can't play Sunday against the Bills, Kenny Britt would be in line to get more playing time opposite Nate Washington Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Johnson continued his amazing fantasy season by running for 135 yards and two scores - missing out on an 81-yard gallop after it was ruled he stepped out of bounds - to lead the Titans to a 34-27 win in San Francisco on Sunday.
Impact: Johnson has become a threat to score every time he touches the ball, and he already has four scores of at least 50 yards this season. A must-start every week, regardless of the Titans' struggles. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Young was 12 of 19 for 172 yards and ran for a touchdown Sunday in the Titans' second straight win, this one 34-27 at San Francisco.
Impact: Young isn't a fantasy starter at this point, but he's made a big difference with the previously woeful Titans. His stats probably won't be too pretty, however, even if they're winning. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage did not finish Sunday's game after suffering an unspecified injury late, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of concern here, as coach Jeff Fisher said that Gage "just came down hard" and for his part the wideout said, "I slipped and fell in the grocery store...put that in there." We'll revisit Gage's status Wednesday, once the Titans get back to practice. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: Fuller has 12 tackles and a pick in four games, numbers that put him on the IDP bubble. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stewart (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: We'll revisit Stewart's status leading up to Week 10's game against the Bills. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: As a result, Gerald McGrath will start at outside linebacker in place of Thornton this week. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (arm) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: Rod Hood will get the starting nod at cornerback Sunday in place of Harper. William Hayes - #95 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 272lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hayes made three total tackles, including 1.5 sacks and also forced a fumble against San Fransisco Sunday.
Impact: Hayes had an excellent game Sunday on the Titan line. His quarterback pressure caused havoc with the 49ers. Kenny Britt - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'3" - 218lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Britt has not caught a pass in the last two weeks, including Sunday against the 49ers.
Impact: At the beginning of the season, Britt was putting together games with multiple catches, but in the last three games he has just one catch. The drop off may partly be attributed to both the surge of Chris Johnson and the potential that Britt, as a rookie, has yet to develop a connection with quarterback Vince Young. Chris Hope - #24 - Safety - 6'0" - 208lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hope made three solo and two assisted tackles Sunday that included one sack. He also made one of three interceptions against Alex Smith.
Impact: Hope is an excellent tackler and has two total interceptions so far this year. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan made seven solo tackles and one assisted tackle. He also made one of the Titans' three interceptions off Alex Smith on Sunday.
Impact: Finnegan has emerged from his earlier hamstring injury to be playing at his Pro Bowl level. Sunday was the second game in a row with a pick for him. Alge Crumpler - #83 - Tight End - 6'2" - 262lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Crumpler did not catch a pass against San Fransisco and has still yet to catch a touchdown pass this year.
Impact: Sunday was just the second game of the year that Crumpler went without a reception. With the way the Titans' offense is heading, none of the team's back up tight ends hold any true fantasy value at this point unless desperate. Jared Cook - #89 - Tight End - 6'5" - 246lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cook did not catch a ball Sunday against the 49ers and has caught just one pass for just three yards in the last three games.
Impact: There was a lot of hype coming into the year about Cook's physical abilities and potential. He backs up Bo Scaife but was supposed to have the potential to have some big catches and possible big games, that has yet to emerge. With the Titans' offense the way it is at this point we would not expect Cook to make any impact on the team's statistics this year. Bo Scaife - #80 - Tight End - 6'3" - 249lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Scaife caught two passes for 20 total yards Sunday against the 49ers.
Impact: Scaife, who led the team last year in receptions, has only 18 so far this year and has yet to catch a touchdown. Last year he was a certain starter at tight end for any fantasy football team, but this year you may want to have him on the sideline if you have a better option until Vince Young shows he can manage a consistent passing offense that includes Scaife more. Justin Gage - #12 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gage caught four balls for a team-high 97 yards in a Titans' win Sunday but did not get into the end zone.
Impact: Sunday was the first game all year that Gage has even come close to 100 yards receiving in a game all year. Gage caught more than 50 percent of the yards passed by Vince Young. Either Gage or Nate Washington could be considered the number one receiver on a poor passing offense. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Young completed 12 of his 19 pass attempts for just 172 yards. He did not throw an interception, nor did he throw a touchdown. He ran the ball five times for 14 yards including one rushing touchdown against the 49ers.
Impact: It appears as if the Titans are allowing Young to play his style of game. He had the second most rushing attempts for the Titans on Sunday. He is still not accumulating statistics through the air but he is also not causing damage by protecting the football and playing efficiently. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Johnson ran for 135 yards and two touchdowns against San Fransisco. One touchdown came six plays after he had an 81-yard touchdown run called back. He also caught three passes for 25 yards.
Impact: Sunday was the second week in a row now that Johnson has ran for two touchdowns. He continues to lead the NFL in rushing yards with 959 and he is showing why he is as valuable a number one running back as any in the league on an otherwise terrible Titans' offense. Chris Davis - #17 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 181lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis was released by the Titans on Friday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Alvin Pearman will likely handle return duties when the Titans play in San Francisco on Sunday. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stewart (hamstring) did not practice Friday but is expected to play according to coach Jeff Fisher, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Stewart is currently being listed as questionable after injuring his hamstring in Thursday's practice. Chris Johnson will need all his linemen healthy if he wants to reach 2,000 yards this season and Vince Young could use the best protection possible. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Fuller, who was listed as limited at practice both Thursday and Friday, is expected to play Sunday, however, the Tennessean reports. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (arm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Though Harper was listed as limited at practice all week, he's not expected to play Sunday, the Tennessean reports. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: He skipped practice Wednesday and Friday, so his status is worth checking Sunday if he is one of your IDPs. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: With both LenDale White and Chris Johnson healthy, Ringer is strictly a depth guy at this point. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (groin) was limited in practice on Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Fuller just came back after a broken forearm Sunday and has now injured his groin. It is likely that he will be able to play this week. David Stewart - #76 - Tackle - 6'7" - 318lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stewart injured a hamstring while practicing on Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Stewart's injury did not appear to be serious and coach Jeff Fisher said the Titans will evaluate the hamstring. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) was limited at practice Thursday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: That's an upgrade from Wednesday and Thornton is expected to play Sunday against the 49ers, the Tennessean reports. David Thornton - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 225lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton (hip) did not practice Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: More on the status of Thornton, who has 38 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble through seven games, as the week progresses. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) did not practice Wednesday, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: More on his status in the coming days, but for now, Ringer is looking iffy for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Chris Davis - #17 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 181lbs
Tue. Nov 3, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis signed with the Titans on Tuesday,
NBC Sports reports.
Impact: He'll be a reserve wide receiver, but could see duty right away as a kickoff or punt returner. Nate Washington - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 185lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Washington had two catches for 22 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Titans' 30-13 win over Jacksonville.
Impact: Washington has four touchdowns this season, but there's not enough stability under center in Tennessee for him to develop into a reliable fantasy receiver this season. He may score more, but yards and receptions will be hard to come by in this offense. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Young's first start since the 2008 season opener went rather well Sunday, as he finished 15 of 18 for 125 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 30-13 win over Jacksonville - their first of the season.
Impact: Young figured to be a dual-threat QB coming out of Texas, but instead he's become a benchwarmer. Even if he's getting starts the rest of the way, he's not going to throw for a lot of yards or touchdowns. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Johnson set a franchise record by rushing for 228 yards and two touchdowns - scoring on runs of 52 and 89 yards - and the Titans won their first game of the season by routing the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-13 Sunday.
Impact: The Titans are having a woeful season but Johnson isn't. His big day - the highest rushing total in the NFL since Adrian Peterson had 296 against San Diego in November 2007 - gives him an NFL-best 824 yards on the ground. He's also averaging a league-leading 6.9 yards per carry. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White carried the ball a season-high 13 times Sunday for 47 yards and did not reach the end zone.
Impact: Although White ran the most times in a game so far this season against the Jaguars, with Chris Johnson continuing to show he is one of the best backs in the NFL, White is becoming a far second thought at running back for the Titans. It does not appear White will even come close to the rushing totals he did last year. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) was able to play Sunday. He got in on three tackles and also made a pick in the fourth-quarter.
Impact: Finnegan certainly helped out a depleted Titans' secondary Sunday. Hopefully as the weeks go along his hamstring will continue to improve and he will be able to return to his Pro Bowl status from last year. Kyle Vanden Bosch - #93 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 278lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Vanden Bosch registered five combined tackles and his first sack of the season against the Jaguars Sunday.
Impact: Vanden Bosch helped put plenty of pressure on David Garrard in Sunday's win against the Jaguars. Hopefully this is the start of better games and some significant sack totals for the Titans' best pass rusher. Rob Bironas - #2 - Kicker - 6'0" - 215lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bironas was perfect in field goals (3-for-3) and in extra-points (3-for-3) against the Jaguars. Two of his field goals were from 45 yards and beyond.
Impact: Bironas continues to be a steady kicker for the Titans, but has not had a great amount of opportunities so far this year. Hopefully with Vince Young as the quarterback likely for the rest of the season, his opportunities will continue to increase. Nate Washington - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 185lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Washington (quad) played and caught two passes for 22 yards, one for a touchdown Sunday against the Jaguars.
Impact: Washington caught the only touchdown pass for the Titans in their first win of the season. He has not had any big yardage games so far this year but he has been productive so far in terms of touchdown catches, four this year. Chris Johnson - #28 - Running back - 5'11" - 200lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Johnson ran for a career-high and franchise record 228 yards and scored two touchdowns in the Titans' first win of the season Sunday against the Jaguars.
Impact: Not sure if it is a coincidence, but Johnson had a season-high number of carries in the Titans' first win of the season. He is clearly the No. 1 back on the team and has been a shining bright spot on an otherwise terrible season so far for the Titans. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Young completed 15-of-18 pass attempts for 125 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 win over Jacksonville. Young also had 12 carries for 30 yards.
Impact: Young didn't make many big plays, but he didn't make any mistakes either and more importantly, led Tennessee to its first win of the season. Eventually Young is going to have to throw downfield and make plays, but he passed his first test. Jevon Kearse - #90 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 265lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kearse is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact: Kearse may be a name brand, but he hasn't been a relevant IDP for some time now. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Washington (quad) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact: Washington found the end zone in Weeks 2-4, but it might be a good idea to see what kind of chemistry he has with Vince Young before rolling with him again. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Impact: The return of Finnegan, who has 17 tackles and a pick in three games thus far, is great news for a Titans' team that was shredded 59-0 by New England last time out. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (forearm) has been cleared to play this Sunday against the Jaguars, the Titans official site reports.
Impact: Fuller is a valuable member of the Titans' defensive backfield that is in need of healthy veteran players. He is the Titans' nickelback, and it will be interesting to see how many plays he ends up getting coming back from a broken forearm. Mark Jones - #84 - Wide Receiver - 5'9" - 185lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jones, who suffered a hamstring injury last week in practice, has been placed on IR, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Alvin Pearman was signed Friday to take his roster spot and will also help fill the void in the return game created by Jones' absence. Alvin Pearman - #35 - Running back - 5'10" - 208lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Titans have signed Pearman, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: He can help out in the return game and gives the team some needed RB depth with Javon Ringer injured. Nate Washington - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 185lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Washington (quad) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Washington made his mark by scoring in Weeks 2-4, but it's probably a good idea to see what kind of chemistry he has with this week's QB starter Vince Young before rolling with him again. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: With both LenDale White and Chris Johnson healthy, there's no reason to go with Ringer this week anyway. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (forearm) is not on the Titans' Week 8 injury report.
Impact: He'll be back, as may be Cortland Finnegan, which is great news for a Titans secondary that was scorched last time out, in Week 6's 59-0 loss to the Patriots. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the Titans' official site reports.
Impact: Finnegan practiced again (in a limited capacity) on Friday, so it looks like he has a shot to go this weekend, but verify his status Sunday if he is one of your IDPs. Craig Hentrich - #15 - Punter - 6'3" - 213lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hentrich was placed on IR due to a calf injury in September, but is now recovering from reconstructive surgery he had to fix an ACL injury, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Apparently Hentrich is attempting to repair an ACL injury that he received in high school and has played his entire college and pro career with. Nick Harper - #20 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 182lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Harper (forearm, doubtful) has been doing individual drills, but is not ready to practice and according to him, is likely to be out a "couple weeks," the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Harper had surgery to help repair his broken forearm just a few weeks back. "They said if I do come back in two weeks it would be a miracle," Harper said. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (forearm) returned to practice Wednesday and is expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars if there is no setbacks, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: When Fuller does return to action, he will be wearing a cast over his injured arm. He says that he is getting his strength back in his arm. The Titans' defensive backfield is currently very thin and his veteran presence could be a welcome return. Mark Jones - #84 - Wide Receiver - 5'9" - 185lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jones injured his left hamstring running a pass route during practice and the Titans have been auditioning other returners to replace him. Jones says that he will not be playing Sunday against the Jaguars, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Jones was released from the Titans earlier this year during preseason when he had injured his right hamstring. Jones' status for the remainder of the season is still uncertain, but with the auditioning of alternate return men, it does not appear good. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
STATS
News: Ringer watched practice Thursday after a night spent in a hospital with an injured back, and coach Jeff Fisher says they are optimistic the rookie won't miss a lot of time.
Impact: Ringer was hurt after catching a pass Wednesday and was in such pain he had to be carted off the field. An All-American at Michigan State, Ringer was the Titans' fifth-round pick at No. 173 overall. Fisher would not elaborate on the injury to Ringer's back, but said he will be OK after team officials initially feared the worst. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer missed practice Thursday after spending Wednesday night in a hospital with an injured back, 7Online.com reports.
Impact: It looks like he's going to miss some time, but the Titans initially feared a more serious injury, so they are calling the word they got on his injury good news. Nate Washington - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 185lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Washington (quad) did not practice Thursday.
Impact: Washington's production has slowed down since he scored in Weeks 2-4 and now the Titans are switching to Vince Young at QB. We'll check back on Washington Friday, but it's probably a good idea to see what kind of chemistry he has with Young before rolling with him again. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.
Impact: That's a step in the right direction, but Finnegan's Week 8 availability is still up in the air. More on his status Friday. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Titans' switch to Young as their starting QB is expected to stick, the Tennessean reports. "As far as the future is concerned, I'm not one of those coaches who's going to have musical chairs at the quarterback position," coach Jeff Fisher said of Young Thursday. "He's going to be our starter."
Impact: It would be a gutsy move to start Young this week, but he's worth a speculative pickup by those needing to add some QB depth. There's still some upside here, as it wasn't all that long ago that he was a rising star, but Young still has much to prove as a passer. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs

News: Young will start over veteran Kerry Collins on Sunday.
Impact: Coach Jeff Fisher announced the expected move Thursday after practice for the 0-6 Titans. Young will face Jacksonville (3-3), the team that helped send him to the bench in the 2008 opener by picking him off twice and spraining his knee. Collins started 20 of the 21 games since then. Young has eight career interceptions against Jacksonville with only three touchdown passes. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs

News: Young is expected to start over veteran Kerry Collins on Sunday.
Impact: Coach Jeff Fisher plans to announce the change after practice Thursday. But The Tennessean newspaper, citing anonymous sources, said on its Web site Thursday morning that Young will start Sunday against the Jaguars (3-3). Young split the work evenly with Collins at practice Wednesday. The Titans (0-6) also added John David Booty to the practice squad to do the work previously handled solely by Young. Kerry Collins - #5 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 245lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jeff Fisher will announce Thursday that Vince Young will replace Collins as the Titans' starting quarterback, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Makes sense. The Titans are 0-6 with Collins under center, so why not see what they have in the once highly touted Vince Young? We'll assume that the Titans would prefer not to shuffle QB's in and out, so it will probably take an injury to Young for Collins to get back on the field. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jeff Fisher will announce Thursday that Young will replace Kerry Collins as the Titans' starting quarterback, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Young has an uneven track record as a passer, so while he has done some damage with his legs when he has played, it's probably best to take a wait-and-see approach here. John David Booty - #9 - Quarterback - 6'3" - 213lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Booty has signed with Tennessee's practice squad, the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Impact: He was released from Minnesota's practice squad last week. While he may have a better chance to reach the active roster in Tennessee, the odds of him landing a steady job on an active roster look long at this point. Vincent Fuller - #22 - Safety - 6'1" - 190lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fuller (arm) is not listed on Wednesday's injury/practice participation report.
Impact: Fuller, who last played Sept. 27 against the Jets, would be a welcome addition to a Titans' secondary that was torched by the Patriots the last time the team took the field. Javon Ringer - #21 - Running back - 5'9" - 205lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ringer (back) was injured at practice Wednesday and was carted off the field, the Tennessean reports. "We'll have to check him out," coach Jeff Fisher said. "It could be any number of things and it would be unfair for me to speculate right now. He is obviously in some pain."
Impact: With LenDale White not on the injury report, Ringer's status is of more import to the Titans' RB depth chart than it is to fantasy owners. Cortland Finnegan - #31 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 188lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Finnegan did not practice Wednesday.
Impact: At this point, it's pretty clear that Finnegan did more than just tweak his hamstring last month. He remains iffy following the Titans' bye week. Craig Stevens - #88 - Tight End - 6'3" - 255lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Stevens (concussion) was not listed on Wednesday's practice participation/injury report.
Impact: Stevens' return gives the Titans added TE depth, but with one career catch, he shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar. Jevon Kearse - #90 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 265lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kearse (foot) was not listed on Wednesday's practice participation/injury report.
Impact: He'll be available this week following the Titans' bye, but he hasn't been a relevant IDP for a while now. LenDale White - #25 - Running back - 6'1" - 235lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: White (knee) was not listed on Wednesday's practice participation/injury report.
Impact: The bye week was evidently enough time for White's knee issue to clear up. He'll be out there Sunday against the Jags working in tandem with Chris Johnson. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jeff Fisher said after Wednesday's practice that he wouldn't make an announcement on whether Young or Kerry Collins will start at QB Sunday against the Jaguars until Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: If he gets the nod, Young is going to be anything but a high-percentage lineup option, but despite his spotty track record as a passer, he has done some damage as a rusher when he has played, which boosts his fantasy upside some. Kerry Collins - #5 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 245lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jeff Fisher said after Wednesday's practice that he wouldn't make an announcement on whether Collins or Vince Young will start at QB Sunday against the Jaguars until Thursday, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Doing the math, the Titans are 0-6 under Collins and the team's owner wants to see Young in there, so don't be surprised if the switch is made. The good news here is that if Fisher sticks with the plan, we won't have to wait until Sunday afternoon for the word on which starting Titans' QB to keep on fantasy benches this week. Patrick Ramsey - #11 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 225lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ramsey worked out with the Bills Tuesday, The Buffalo News reports.
Impact: Trent Edwards is dealing with a concussion that already has him ruled out this week, so Ramsey could be an option if the Bills decide that they'd like to get an experienced backup on board behind Ryan Fitzpatrick while Edwards is out. Brett Kern - #6 - Punter - 6'3" - 205lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kern was released by Denver and shortly thereafter signed by Tennessee to be the starting punter for the remainder of 2009.
Impact: The Titans have signed Kern to see if he is able to replace the injured Craig Hentrich (calf). Kerry Collins - #5 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 245lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Titans owner Bud Adams has told coach Jeff Fisher that he wants Vince Young to be the starting quarterback over Collins beginning with Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Collins has said recently that he expects to continue as the starting quarterback and neither he nor Young have been informed of their current statuses. Adams has been direct in informing Fisher that he wants Young to be the starting quarterback now. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Titans owner Bud Adams has told coach Jeff Fisher that he wants Young to be the starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the Tennessean reports.
Impact: Adams has been direct in the last week saying that he wants the change of Young as the starting quarterback to be made immediately. Earlier this week, Fisher was non-committal when asked if Kerry Collins or Young would start this week. Neither Young or Collins have been informed of their exact statuses yet. Vince Young - #10 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 233lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Young's agent says he and his quarterback, who is due a large salary and roster bonus that the team probably isn't interested in, would be willing to restructure his contract to stay in Tennessee, CBS' Charley Casserly reports.
Impact: The odds of this getting done would be a lot better if Young can begin to see some starts in 2009 and re-prove himself again, but coach Jeff Fisher is currently sticking by Kerry Collins. Perhaps a couple more losses will change that. |
