Tennessee Titans Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd dislocated a finger on his right hand early in Sunday's win over the Browns, HC Zac Taylor said. We should learn more on Monday about Boyd's status going forward.

Bengals WR Tyler Boyd injured a finger on his right hand early in Sunday's game vs. the Browns and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Boyd has been ruled out.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Simmons has been playing through the ankle issue for weeks and managed 2 limited practices this week, so we'd bet on him playing. We'll certainly check his status Sunday morning. Tennessee has ruled DL Denico Autry (knee), LB David Long (hamstring) and CB Kristian Fulton (groin) out for the game.

Titans TE Treylon Burks (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. That leaves Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee’s top 2 WRs – and could mean more targets for TEs Austin Hooper and Chig Okonkwo.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's a long shot to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars.

Titans TE Treylon Burks (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's not a good bet to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll continue to track his progress.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard torched the Colts for 91 yards and 2 TDs on 12 attempts. Zeke Elliott added 17-77-1 in the Week 13 win, but Pollard remained the more dynamic back. Credit the Dallas O-line, which came to play against a solid Colts run D. Per Next Gen Stats, Dallas posted 79 rushing yards over expectation against an Indy unit that had allowed the fewest such yards from Week 1 to Week 12. Keep in mind that OT Tyron Smith is slated to make his season debut soon. Regardless, look for this run game to remain hot in a dreamy Week 14 contest vs. Houston.

Titans WR Treylon Burks left for a concussion check in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. The rookie took a huge hit on a TD catch and was down for a while. We wouldn't bet on him returning today, but we'll update Burks' status when we know more.

UPDATE: Burks was ruled out of Sunday's game.

Titans WR Treylon Burks caught 4 of 6 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Most of that yardage came on a 51-yard contested catch in the 3rd quarter. His biggest play, however, came early in the 2nd quarter. That's when the rookie recovered a Derrick Henry fumble in the end zone for the team's only TD. WRs Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine matched Burks for the team target lead. Westbrook-Ikhine caught 4 for 58 yards. Woods managed only 2 receptions for 16 yards.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) and CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring) are active for today's game against the Bengals. The Tennessee defense will also get S Amani Hooker back for the 1st time in 4 games. And EDGE Bud Dupree returns after missing 2 games. It's a potentially challenging matchup for the Bengals offense.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. He managed limited practices all week, so we'd bet on him playing through an issue he's been dealing with for weeks. CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring) is also questionable. DL Denico Autry (knee) has been ruled out.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard matched Ezekiel Elliott's 15 carries in the latter's return from a knee injury. Pollard, of course, out-gained Elliott 80 yards to 42 on the ground. Elliott claimed both rushing scores, however. Pollard made up for that with a huge receiving day. He led the team in targets (6), catches (6) and receiving yards (109), while scoring both of the team's receiving TDs. Those came from 30 and 68 yards out. There might be weeks of frustrating usage for Pollard going forward, but he'll be tough to sit.

The Cowboys plan to give RB Tony Pollard "a little bit more in terms of touches" than RB Ezekiel Elliott agains the Vikings today, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Dallas wants to "ease Elliott back in" coming off an LCL injury and "significant contusion all the way down his shin" back in Week 7, per Pelissero. Elliott will wear a brace on that knee today. Consider him a TD-dependent RB3 play in fantasy lineups. Pollard is a RB2.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is active for tonight’s game against the Packers. He’s ready to use in IDP lineups

The Titans have ruled S Amani Hooker (shoulder) and EDGE Bud Dupree (hip) out for Thursday night's game against the Packers. DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable. He missed Sunday's win over the Broncos but returned for limited practices the past 2 days. Simmons seems to be trending toward returning for this game and will be worth using in IDP lineups if available.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard racked up 28 opportunities in Sunday's OT loss at Green Bay, with Ezekiel Elliott inactive. He took 22 carries for 115 yards and a TD and caught 3 of 6 targets for 13 yards. Elliott was talked about like a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's deactivation, which would seem to make him likely to return for a Week 11 trip to Minnesota. But we'll see about Elliott's status throughout this week. Pollard should be in Week 11 starter consideration for fantasy football teams either way.

Titans WR Treylon Burks caught 3 balls for 24 yards Sunday in his 1st action since suffering a toe injury back in Week 4. His 6 targets checked in 4th on the team, but Burks tied WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 2nd most routes, trailing only WR Robert Woods. We'd bet on more production for the rookie than Westbrook-Ikhine the rest of the way, in spite of the latter's big performance against Denver. Tennessee's run-leaning offense limits the upside, of course. Woods and TE Austin Hooper tied for 2nd on the team with 7 targets Sunday. Hooper caught 5 balls for 41 yards. Woods managed only 2 receptions for 10 yards.

Titans WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine racked up 119 yards and 2 TDs on 5 catches among a team-high 8 targets in Sunday's win over the Broncos. QB Ryan Tannehill's return from an ankle sprain obviously helped. But this was Westbrook-Ikhine's 1st game with a reception since Week 5 and just the 2nd time all year he exceeded 40 yards. Expect this performance to remain an outlier as opposed to the start of something.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (toe) has been activated from IR and will play vs. the Broncos on Sunday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burks has been out since going down with turf toe in Week 4. The rookie's playing time was growing before the injury, but it's unclear how big a role he'll return to out of the gate. Throw in a matchup with the league's #1 WR defense, and Burks isn't a recommended Week 10 fantasy starter.
