    Nothing from this team last year matters they’ve wiped the slate clean and there’s a new era in Tennessee. Second year head coach Brian Callahan looks to reshape the Titans around number one overall pick Cam Ward after the Will Levis experiment left us with nothing but memes and the first overall pick landing in Nashville. Tony Pollard (RB21) was the only player really worth anything in fantasy, with Ridley being useful in flashes and ultimately finishing as WR27. The Titans finished the 2024 season with just 33 offensive touchdowns. In case you need to know just how bad that really is, here were the five teams with less than or equal to that number: the Prescott-less Cowboys (33), Raiders (33), Patriots (30), Giants (30), and Browns (29). There is no where to go but up, and this may be a low key team to bet on in 2025.

    Player most likely to beat ADP: rB Tony Pollard (ADP 70, RB28)

    I would not have been shocked if the Titans invested in running back during the draft, but they clearly believe in the duo they have. Despite surviving the draft, Pollard is once again undervalued. He’s had over 1,000 rushing yards and 1,300 total yards in each of the last three seasons while going just over 300 touches the two most recent campaigns. I’m going to add RB2 Tyjae Spears here as well – but just didn’t fully trust making him the headline here. While he produced late last season when given the chance, I’m going to have a hard time fully buying into a player with just one ACL. Luckily, his ADP of 132 (RB41) has the risk baked into it. He’s likely to be your RB4 or worse.

    Player most likely to fade based on ADP: None

    I don’t know that anyone is being over drafted from this team, and maybe that’s a cop out. I’ve talked about Pollard and the value he’ll still provides you in drafts. Calvin Ridley is going even later than that despite being set up nicely to be a volume PPR play. The floor of irrelevance is built into every players ADP already, and with only Pollard, Spears, and Ridley being the main ones drafted from tvis team, I see no downside to taking any at their current value.

    Late-round Flier that could blow up: TE Chig Okonkwo (ADP , TE)

    There’s a world where Okonkwo is top two in targets for this team. Ridley will almost assuredly lead this team in that area, but beyond that there’s not a clear pecking order. Chig’s career so far hasn’t been an inspiring one, but there is some flash in the pan, including four top seven finishes last season. His career best of 528 yards isn’t special, but its important to consider the guy passing him the ball hasn’t been particularly good when you consider that they were Ryan Tannehill and Will Levis. Okonkwo has some explosion to his game and has a clear path to being one of the premier play makers on this offense. 

    Writer’s Season Win Prediction: 8-9

    The Titans have reworked their offense, especially their offensive line, to support a rookie QB. Of course, this is considered a strength on paper since we haven’t seen this collection of players together yet, but fantasy football is sometimes about projecting what could or will happen. Hopefully the “improved” line buys time for the offense to get into a rhythm, build chemistry, and hit the ground running. I mean that literally – I expect the Titans to start the year as a run heavy team to help build Ward’s confidence and slowly open up the passing game from there. If this ends up being the case, it might be a good idea to explore the idea of cashing out on Pollard/Spears midseason via trade.
