What can be rescued from a 3-14 season? Nothing! But that is where the treasure of the Tennessee Titans lies. Yes, in their mismanagement of last year
Why? Because it is precisely in this team where there are real pieces of gold that can take you further than you think in your fantasy leagues. But now with a new quarterback and a schedule that promises volume, we are looking at a gold mine
Cam Ward leads a quiet rebuild
Cam Ward was the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL. Although they still have Will Lewis on their roster, the arrival of the player who spent his last year at Miami.
On his shoulders are 11,000 yards in his college career. He has an NFL-caliber arm. According to projections, Ward guarantees you a base of 4,000 combined yards if he stays healthy
While it is true that he is a good passer, in the Lamar style, it is also true that his other tools are so superior that the aforementioned goes unnoticed
His hunting instinct and shotgun arm, plus gazelle-like peripheral vision, make him drop bombs that then reach the red zone or are touchdowns. A gem for a superflex.
Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears: Is one a trap and the other a bargain?
Tony Pollard accumulated more than 200 touches in 2024, but his efficiency went down the drain. He dropped to 4.0 yards per carry and is now ranked 21st among running backs (RB) in PPR
Although ADP treats him as a reliable starter, the volume may give way and become a trap. You may see him as gold, but he’s more of a pyrite
This is where Tyjae Spears comes in, who had the same number of snaps as Pollard in 2023. Last year in three games he finished in the top 20. He is a third down specialist and that is where his power and value lies
That’s where Tyjae Spears comes in, who had the same number of snaps as Pollard in 2023 and finished last season with three top-20 PPR games. If Spears gets the third-down and red-zone work – which already happened last year – he could break projections. He is coming off the board as RB43 and has real RB2 upside in key weeks.
Calvin Ridley remains the alpha, with over 1,000 yards despite a chaotic environment. With Ward at the helm and a more aggressive scheme, he could return to the top 20 if he improves his catch percentage (53%).
Tyler Lockett is a WR7 in drafts, but he’s not dead yet. Tennessee’s offense wants him as a reliable veteran, and if he recovers some of his red zone chemistry, he can be an emergency flex.
What about Treylon Burks? Forgotten by everyone and almost free, his physical profile is still elite. If he’s healthy, he’s the kind of player who changes weeks. If not… you didn’t lose anything.
