Tennessee Titans DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (right shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The 25-year-old looks like he'll be healthy enough to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7, but that doesn't mean a whole lot for fantasy managers or Titans fans. Levis has been one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL this season, completing 66.4 percent of his passes for 699 yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He has also taken 15 sacks, lost three fumbles, and repeatedly demonstrated poor decision-making. Fantasy managers should continue to avoid Levis in most formats.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, and he's considered week-to-week after getting hurt in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. The Titans aren't officially ruling Spears out for their Week 7 contest this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, but it doesn't look good for the 23-year-old. He will need to return to practice on either Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play. Spears' injury is good news for Tony Pollard's fantasy value moving forward after he has basically served as the team's lead back through the first six weeks of the season. If Spears is unable to go this weekend, expect Julius Chestnut to have a bigger role. However, Chestnut only saw one carry after Spears' injury last Sunday.

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent running back Joshua Kelley to their practice squad on Tuesday and promoted defensive back Tre Avery from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Kelley comes to the Titans after spending training camp this summer with the New York Giants before they released him prior to the start of the regular season. The 26-year-old was originally drafted in the fourth round by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020 out of UCLA. Kelley spent his first four years in the NFL in LA, averaging 3.6 yards per carry while scoring six rushing touchdowns on 320 total carries. For now, he'll provide extra depth at RB for Tennessee after Tyjae Spears suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. For now, fantasy managers can continue to ignore Kelley.

After Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley had zero catches in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, head coach Brian Callahan said the team has "to find ways to get him involved, so he can help us win." It wasn't as though the Titans didn't try to get him involved in their 20-17 loss (he was targeted a team-high eight times), but he just wasn't able to connect with struggling quarterback Will Levis at all. The 29-year-old carried the ball once for a nine-yard gain. Along with Tennessee's ugly offense, Ridley's fantasy stock has tanked in the last three games, as he has two catches for 14 yards on 14 targets over that span. The good news for Ridley is that the Titans aren't going to stop trying to get him the ball, but he's going to need to improve his catch rate drastically to get out of his current rut. Fantasy managers need to stick with Ridley for another week against the Buffalo Bills.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is considered week-to-week due to the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, according to head coach Brian Callahan. Spears' injury is significant enough that he'll be in question to play in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills. Before getting injured against the Colts, Spears saw six carries and picked up 27 yards on the ground. He was not targeted through the air. The 23-year-old has mostly played second fiddle to Tony Pollard in Tennessee's backfield in 2024. Outside of his 15-carry day in Week 4 against the Dolphins, Spears hasn't had more than six carries in five games this year. He's also averaging just 3.5 yards per carry on his 33 rushing attempts. Pollard will benefit with an even higher fantasy ceiling if Spears misses any time. Pollard has three rushing touchdowns and has 16-plus carries in four of five games.
