Tennessee Titans DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said that wide receiver Tyler Boyd (shoulder) has been limited with a shoulder injury, but now he's now as healthy as he's been in recent weeks heading into the Week 11 contest versus the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to be more of a factor on offense moving forward. Boyd's lack of production/involvement recently was more of a health issue than anything else. The 30-year-old veteran played a season-low 29% of the offensive snaps in Week 9 overtime win over the New England Patriots but bumped up to 61% in the Week 10 loss to the to the Los Angeles Chargers. Boyd wasn't targeted in either of those games while seeing one carry for three yards. He has failed to go over 43 receiving yards in any of his nine games in his first year in Tennessee in 2024 and should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. In Tyjae Spears' return from injury in the Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Spears played 54% of the offensive snaps to Spears' 46% and handled 13 touches for 63 yards. Spears had 10 touches for 51 yards. The 27-year-old Pollard continues to deal with a foot injury but hasn't missed any time because of it. He had a season-high 28 carries for 128 yards in the overtime win over the Patriots on Nov. 3, but immediately after that game, the Titans coaching staff said they'd likely to reduce Pollard's workload moving forward. Pollard should play this Sunday against the Vikings, but Spears is going to take valuable touches away, setting him up as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex for fantasy managers.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-17 defeat to Los Angeles. With quarterback Will Levis back in the lineup, Ridley did not miss a beat, enjoying his best performance of the season with almost 23 half-PPR points. The speedster got the scoring going early, beating his single coverage with ease and coasting into the end-zone on a perfect ball from Levis. Ridley dominated the attention from his quarterback overall, registering a 39% target share on the afternoon, the next closest Titan only drawing three looks. While it's been quite the roller coaster season thus far for the high-dollar offseason acquisition, Ridley has posted 20+ PPR points in two of his last three games, finally showing some signs of consistency which has turned him into a must-start fantasy asset. Up next is a meeting with the Minnesota Vikings at home, a team that is much easier to throw against than run on.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears rushed seven times for 47 yards, adding three receptions on as many targets for four yards in a 27-17 loss to LA on Sunday. Spears returned to the lineup this weekend after missing the past few games with a hamstring injury and led the Titans in rushing for the first time all season. A lot of that production came on a throw-away draw play with four seconds left in the first half, but Spears still looked effective when given opportunities, gaining extra yards on multiple plays that looked like they had no chance. The Tulane product will still run behind Tony Pollard if the latter is healthy, but he could potentially work his way into some low-end flex value down the stretch, especially given the Titans will be playing from behind a majority of the time which favors Spears' skillset. On tap for Week 11 are the Minnesota Vikings and their intimidating run defense.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard rushed nine times for 44 yards, adding four receptions on four targets for 19 yards, in a defeat to Los Angeles on Sunday. It was a down performance for Pollard, who was semi-game scripted out of this one with the Titans playing from behind most of the game. Tyjae Spears actually bested Pollard in the rushing department for the first time all season on two fewer carries. The former Cowboy also appeared to tweak his ankle late in the first half but was able to come back in the game shortly after. Pollard will be susceptible to down games like this due to the nature of the Titans' incompetent offense, but he remains a featured player who will see around 15-20 opportunities per game, even with Spears back in the mix. Up next is an extremely tough matchup against the Vikings' top rush defense, which will likely demote Pollard to only a flex option, down from his usual RB2 spot.
