Rashean Mathis DB, Jacksonville Jaguars 11/06/09, Time: 8:54 pm |
| News: |
Mathis (finger) is listed as probable this week against Kansas City. |
| Analysis: |
He's the Jaguars' best guy in their defensive backfield, but, frankly, that's not saying much this year. You shouldn't be looking for the Jacksonville team defense for much production. (SportsBuff.com) |

Cortland Finnegan DB, Tennessee Titans 10/29/09, Time: 9:31 pm |
| News: |
Finnegan returned to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, on Thursday. He has a good chance to play against Jacksonville. |
| Analysis: |
Finnegan's absence sent this unit's downward trajectory on warp speed. Getting him back should improve things a bit, though the Titans will still be thrown upon easily. (SportsBuff.com) |

Kerry Collins QB, Tennessee Titans 10/27/09, Time: 12:11 am |
| News: |
Collins could find himself as a backup in the very near future if coach Jeff Fisher listens to owner Bud Adams. |
| Analysis: |
Collins has done a decent job this season but at 0-7, the Titans need to take one more look in what they have in Vince Young. (SportsBuff.com) |

Rashad Jennings RB, Jacksonville Jaguars 10/22/09, Time: 1:46 am |
| News: |
The Florida Times-Union reports that Jennings should see additional carries going forward. |
| Analysis: |
Jennings is the must-have handcuff for Maurice Jones-Drew owners but is not going to see enough action to warrant any fantasy value at the moment. (SportsBuff.com) |

| News: |
Hall rushed one time for five yards and caught one pass for 15 yards against the Patriots on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
Hall had the one long reception for the Titans on Sunday but he ended up losing a fumble. He has no fantasy value. (SportsBuff.com) |

Vince Young QB, Tennessee Titans 10/19/09, Time: 8:10 pm |
| News: |
Young came in the game in the third quarter on Sunday against the Titans. He did not complete a pass on two attempts. He did however throw an interception. |
| Analysis: |
Young could very well be the starter for the Titans in Week 7 against Jacksonville but he is certainly not worthy of a starting spot in any league at the moment. (SportsBuff.com) |

| Player: |
Kerry Collins QB, Tennessee Titans 10/19/09, Time: 8:08 pm |
| News: |
Collins completed only 2-of-12 passes for minus seven yards on Sunday against the Patriots. He also threw an interception. |
| Analysis: |
It was an awful day for Collins and the Titans and he was replaced by Vince Young for a second straight game. It may be time for the Titans to once again see what they have in Young so Collins' days as a starter could be limited on the 0-6 Titans. (SportsBuff.com) |

| News: |
Garrard threw for 335 yards and two interceptions against St. Louis on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
The yardage was nice, but Garrard was unable to provide his owners with any touchdowns. He remains a low end fantasy option at quarterback. (SportsBuff.com) |

Torry Holt WR, Jacksonville Jaguars 10/18/09, Time: 11:09 am |
| News: |
Holt faces the Rams today for the first time as a member of another team. |
| Analysis: |
This matchup could present a bit more motivation for the veteran and perhaps a bit of motivation for the team to look his way. Ultimately, he's a fine PPR option against a weak Rams defense but a somewhat weak play in other formats by virtue of not yet catching a touchdown. (SportsBuff.com) |

Mike Walker WR, Jacksonville Jaguars 10/18/09, Time: 10:02 am |
| News: |
ProFootballTalk.com reports that Sims-Walker could be on the trading block as the deadline approaches. |
| Analysis: |
As PFT notes, this might just be part of the team showing a young receiver that he needs to avoid infractions like the one that got him suspended in Week 5. Really, it would be foolish for the Jags to deal a very promising young wideout. Either way, he's a very strong fantasy option in Week 6 against St. Louis. (SportsBuff.com) |

Maurice Jones-Drew RB, Jacksonville Jaguars 10/04/09, Time: 9:03 pm |
| News: |
Jones-Drew had a quiet day on Sunday, gaining only 16 rushing yards. He did, however, score a touchdown. |
| Analysis: |
Rookie Rashad Jennings and Greg Jones took most of the second half work. Jones-Drew should have no problem tearing up the Seattle defense next week. (Sportsbuff.com) |

David Garrard QB, Jacksonville Jaguars 10/04/09, Time: 8:59 pm |
| News: |
Garrard had a marvelous game against Tennessee, throwing for 323 yards and three touchdowns during the victory. |
| Analysis: |
With the team seeking to lighten the load on Maurice Jones-Drew, they've taken the restraints off the passing game and found that, with the addition of Mike Sims-Walker, it's really an underrated facet of their offense. Garrard is playing more like a starter than the fantasy backup he has been in the past. (Sportsbuff.com) |

Kenny Britt WR, Tennessee Titans 10/04/09, Time: 8:54 pm |
| News: |
Britt had his best game as a pro thus far on Sunday, hauling in seven catches for 105 yards. |
| Analysis: |
If Tennessee continues to play lousy defense, it will be to Britt's benefit as they'll be throwing a lot more. The rookie has really established himself in this offense and should be a strong consideration not only for dynasty leagues but redraft ones as well. (Sportsbuff.com) |

Chris Johnson RB, Tennessee Titans 10/04/09, Time: 8:51 pm |
| News: |
Johnson rushed for 83 yards against Jacksonville during Sunday's loss. |
| Analysis: |
He only got 16 opportunities as Tennessee's suddenly porous defense allowed the Jaguars to seemingly score at will. His owners hope this trend doesn't continue as they'll see more games like this if the Titans constantly have to play from behind. (Sportsbuff.com) |

Sims-Walker caught six passes for 81 yards on Sunday against the Texans. |
| Analysis: |
Torry Holt was supposed to be the Jags' #1 guy this season, but Sims-Walker looks as though he might be stepping into the role at this point. He should be owned in all formats. (SportsBuff.com) |

Jones-Drew tore up the Texans defense on Sunday by rushing for 119 yards and three touchdowns. |
| Analysis: |
MJD rewarded those owners who took him with a high pick at this year's fantasy drafts after his slow start. He faces the Titans next week, however, so they shouldn't expect a repeat performance. (SportsBuff.com) |

Kenny Britt WR, Tennessee Titans 09/27/09, Time: 8:47 pm |
| News: |
Britt led all Titans receivers with four catches for 59 yards on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
Britt is a talented receiver, but he plays in an run-first environment that will continually hold him back. He shouldn't merit starting consideration in all but the deepest leagues at this point. (SportsBuff.com) |

LenDale White RB, Tennessee Titans 09/27/09, Time: 8:45 pm |
| News: |
White scored on a 5 yard touchdown run en route to gaining 27 yards against the Jets on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
The Tennessee running game is just dominated by Chris Johnson right now and you really can't count on White for anything other than the occasional touchdown. He just cannot be a consistent addition to anyone's starting lineup. (SportsBuff.com) |

Even against a stout Jets run defense, Johnson managed to gain 97 yards on the ground in a losing effort. |

Washington returned to action on Sunday, hauling in four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. |

Jones-Drew only managed 66 yards against Arizona on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
The Arizona run defense shut down Frank Gore last week as well, so it?s clearly an improved unit. However, Jones-Drew may find himself running the ball less than he anticipated this year due to the potential fact that the Jaguars might be playing from behind a lot this season.(SportsBuff.com) |

Garrard threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns against Arizona on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
The Jacksonville passing game is still a work in progress and Garrard himself blunted the impact of his performance by fumbling three times. However, it seems clear that the Jaguars might be playing catch up quite a bit this year and that?s usually a situation that bears fantasy goodness. (SportsBuff.com) |

According to the Nashville Tennesseean, Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher said that Washington (right hamstring) will play "the number of plays a starter would play" against Houston on Sunday. |
| Analysis: |
Washington was limited in Week 1 against Pittsburgh, and only had one catch for eight yards. Rookie Kenny Britt stands to see less playing time if Washington can play without limitations. (SportsBuff.com) |

White had eight carries for 28 yards and one catch for five yards in the Titans' loss to the Steelers on Thursday night. |
| Analysis: |
White, like every RB on both teams, struggled to find room to run on Thursday night. The fact he had nine touches to Chris Johnson's 16 may be the start of a troubling trend for White's fantasy owners. (SportsBuff.com) |
