2025 Tennessee Titans Fantasy Preview

2025 Tennessee Titans Fantasy Preview Those sweet Oilers throwbacks were about the only positive thing to happen to the Tennessee Titans in 2024. Sadly, ditching those duds is part of the new vision in Tennessee, where the franchise will attempt to move forward with second-year head coach Brian Callahan and a new franchise signal-caller. Selected first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cam Ward will be sporting Warren Moon’s old No. 1 and represents a much-needed franchise reset for the Titans. Ward has a talented arm who thrives outside structure and has the clutch gene. He’s very accurate in the short and intermediate parts of the field, which will be a huge upgrade over erratic Will Levis. Tennessee finished 26th in passing last season but should be markedly improved with Ward under center. The club was better on the ground, averaging 109.1 rushing yards per contest. Tony Pollard produced 1,079 rushing yards on a career-high 260 carries and caught 41 passes. Tyjae Spears showed well down the stretch, but is firmly the RB2 when Pollard is healthy. Pollard is a good mid-round target for fantasy managers who attack pass-catchers early on draft day. Last year, the Titans ranked 26th in passing. 71.7 percent of that production came when they were trailing. However, they ranked 9th in time of possession. Expect Callahan to ease his rookie in and rely on the rushing attack. While the passing attack projects to be significantly improved with Ward under center, the receiving room looks shallow. Calvin Ridley is the unquestioned No. 1. Ridley got 120 targets last season and surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the second straight season. However, lack of touchdown upside keeps him in WR3 territory. Ridley is the only receiver for fantasy managers to consider. The club signed Tyler Lockett, but the soon-to-be 33-year-old veteran is on a four-year decline in production and metrics. Van Jefferson and 2022 bust Treylon Burks have legitimate shots at contributing this season. That shows the lack of depth in Tennessee. Chigoziem Okonkwo was a popular breakout target last summer but essentially mirrored his 2023 output. Okonkwo ranked 21st in target share (13.8 percent), 22nd in yards (479), and 23rd in yards per route run (1.62). There is hope that Okonkwo will see more targets as the rookie QB’s safety valve, but he’s a middling TE2 with little upside. Fantasy Grade: D QB Ward, Cam, TEN [QB1] The No. 1 overall pick, Cam Ward, steps into a starting role with QB2 fantasy upside. His performance at Miami showcased a pro-ready arm and improvisational flair. Advanced metrics highlight his clean-pocket efficiency (30:3 TD-to-INT, 5.9 percent big-time throws). Ward also displayed maturity, poise, and pocket presence, and he offers good rushing upside. The Titans have the eighth-easiest schedule, and Ward’s introduction comes against a manageable early slate (Bears, Jets, Colts). However, a limited supporting cast beyond Calvin Ridley may cap consistency, making him a volatile weekly starter. ADVICE: There will be highs and lows, but Ward has mid-range QB2 potential in Year One. RB Pollard, Tony, TEN [RB1] In 2025, Tony Pollard is poised for another quality fantasy season. After a 2024 campaign averaging 4.2 yards per carry and 1,317 total yards, Pollard’s dual-threat ability shines. His 57 targets in 2024 highlight his PPR value, but he fell to just five touchdowns in Tennessee’s 26th-ranked offense. With Tennessee’s revamped offensive line and playcaller Brian Callahan’s pass-heavy scheme, Pollard’s touches should climb to 250+. Advanced metrics like a 0.25 missed tackles forced per attempt and 3.8 yards after contact signal elite elusiveness. Draft Pollard as a mid-range RB2. ADVICE: Fairly safe and consistent RB2 who is durable and reliable. RB Spears, Tyjae, TEN [RB2] Tyjae Spears had a modest 2024 season, finishing as the RB35 in PPR formats with an average of 9.5 fantasy points per game over 12 appearances. He logged 84 carries for 312 rushing yards and four touchdowns, chipping in 30 receptions for 224 receiving yards and an additional score. While Tony Pollard dominated the Titans’ backfield, Spears showcased his potential late in the season, notably scoring two touchdowns in Week 15 against the Bengals. With Tennessee’s offense expected to improve in 2025, Spears could see increased opportunities, especially if he capitalizes on his pass-catching abilities. ADVICE: Handcuff to Tony Pollard, who will see 8-10 touches per week. WR Ridley, Calvin, TEN [WR1] Sleeper The Titans ranked 26th in passing last season, but Ridley was the team’s top (only) target. He surpassed 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season thanks to the nature of his high-impact 120 targets (18th). Ridley was one of the top deep threats in football last season, leading the league in air yards (1,883). and finishing top five in ADOT (15.7) and deep targets (32). No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is a massive upgrade under center, and Tennessee still has a lesser supporting cast (Tyler Lockett, Treylon Burks). ADVICE: The 120 targets Ridley drew last season look like his floor, setting him up to be an undervalued WR2. WR Lockett, Tyler, TEN [WR2] Over the Hill After 10 productive seasons in Seattle, Tyler Lockett moves on to the rebuilding Titans. There, Lockett will compete for WR2/3 duties in a revamped offense. 33 this year, Lockett is a declining slot receiver who no longer gets open downfield or creates yards after contact. Last year, Lockett’s 1.10 yards per route run was the lowest mark of his career. He could become Cam Ward’s safety valve underneath, but Lockett has very little big-play ability, which seriously caps his fantasy appeal. ADVICE: Declining veteran who should see a decent number of targets, but no longer has the big-play ability that made him a quality bench option. WR Ayomanor, Elic, TEN [WR3] Super Sleeper ADVICE: A fourth-round rookie WR out of Stanford, Ayomanor has good size (6-2, 206) and ran a 4.44. He should have the inside track to emerge as Tennessee’s No. 3 wideout. Don’t be surprised if he ends up as the team’s No.

NFL DFS Monday Night Football: Cowboys vs Chargers Draftkings Fantasy Lineup Advice From High-Stakes Winner

NFL DFS Monday Night Football: Cowboys vs Chargers This article will help you build your NFL Draftkings DFS Monday Night Football lineups for tonight’s Cowboys-Chargers matchup. The 2023 Week 6 NFL schedule comes to a close with Monday Night Football. The 2-2 Los Angeles Chargers host the 3-2 Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium. Today we analyze from a DFS perspective the fantasy player projections from Shawn Childs. WHO IS SHAWN CHILDS? Quite simply, Shawn is the brains behind many of the metrics and projections at FullTime Fantasy. He has an extensive history in the fantasy industry, including being enshrined into the NFBC Baseball Hall of Fame. Shawn was previously the No. 2 most accurate DFS ranker and boasts several big DFS wins including over $200,000 last season at Draftkings. Shawn has the proven history and versatility you won’t find ANYWHERE else. Let’s dive right into the projections typically reserved for Fulltime Fantasy members, by team and by position: Chargers-Cowboys Projections KICKERS & DEFENSE/ST DAL, Brandon Aubrey 9.0 projected points $5,000. LAC, Cameron Dicker 8.0 projected points $4,400. DAL DST 6.8 projected points $3,800. LAC DST 5.3 projected points $3,200. Dak Prescott appears to slightly edge out Justin Herbert tonight. Prescott is cheaper ($10,000 to $10,800) and has a higher projected finish (23.89 to 22.15). At RB, Tony Pollard is the big winner here with a 3-point bonus for 100 yards rushing and 27 projected fantasy points. Ekeler is still in for a solid night but his salary essentially prices him out of play. Pollard is the most valuable RB tonight at $9,600, however for the Captain spot that provides a 1.5X boost, even he takes a back seat to teammate and WR CeeDee Lamb who is also projected for 27 fantasy points but at only a $9,000 price tag. For that reason, Lamb should be your choice at Captain in Showdown slates. Michael Gallup appears to be the top-value play of the night. He’s projected to produce 9 fantasy points at a mere $2,800. That leaves us with $14,100 to spend allowing us to squeeze in the services of Justin Herbert who boasts a 2.05 value score, higher than that of Keenan Allen (1.85). Obviously, feel free to mix and match all of the higher-value players for your own contest selections tonight. For a contrarian build, Pollard or Prescott are acceptable Captains. However, you’ll have to pivot down from Herbert to Keenan Allen to afford the Chargers Defense in the last flex spot. Happy Lineup Building! Finally, are you a Die-Hard Fantasy Football Player?
