Tennessee Titans DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson is off the fantasy radar when the Steelers take on Kansas City on Christmas Day. The veteran has played more than 70% of the Steelers' snaps the past three weeks, but that seems likely to change with top receiver George Pickens (hamstring) likely to return to the lineup. The Chiefs' defense ranks in the middle of the pack against fantasy receivers, but it's difficult to see Jefferson getting enough action in a run-loving Pittsburgh offense when competing for targets with Pickens, receiver Calvin Austin III, and tight end Pat Freiermuth.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught nine receptions for 81 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, which was good for most on the team in both stats. Okonkwo set a new season high for targets in Week 16, leading the team with 11-;more than double the next-highest. This surpasses his previous single-game high, 10 last week against the Bengals. Okonkwo is bursting onto the scene late in the year, appearing to be Mason Rudolph's favorite option in the passing game. It's worth monitoring Tennessee's quarterback situation in the future, but if this duo can stick together, it feels very promising for Okonkwo. Fantasy managers can view him as a TE1/TE2 for the rest of the fantasy playoffs. The 25-year-old is on the streaming radar and borderline TE1 in a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in three catches for 78 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The looks of these stats can be a bit deceiving. However, Ridley's 38-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter did a lot of the heavy lifting for his final numbers. He saw just five targets for the game-;which was second-most for Tennessee, but still an underwhelming amount for an offense's WR1. Nevertheless, it was Ridley's first time finding the end zone in six weeks, revitalizing some hope for fantasy managers. He's a WR2/WR3 for Week 17 as the Titans head to Jacksonville.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard managed just eight carries for 35 yards on the ground in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He added five receiving yards off of two catches. Pollard successfully converted a two-point conversion in the third quarter, but only after backup RB Tyjae Spears found the end zone on an 11-yard TD run. It was an absolute nightmare for fantasy managers relying on Pollard for a playoff run, and hands should be hovering over the panic button as Spears gets increasingly involved in the offense. It's starting to feel like Pollard is the worst of the two options in the Titans backfield from now on and should be seen as an RB2/RB3 heading into Week 17.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears took 10 carries for 27 yards and two touchdowns while catching three passes for 39 yards on four targets in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Spears notably out-carried his backfield counterpart Tony Pollard, being given valuable red zone touches that led to his pair of scores. He's also proving to be an impact player for PPR leagues, with 11 targets and 126 yards through the air combined in the last two weeks. Spears maintains his status as an RB2/RB3 going into Week 17 as fantasy playoffs continue, and he faces a Jaguars defense that gives up the fifth-most points against opposing running backs this season.
