B
  • It's hard to ignore what Jones is doing in this offense. It's a little bit built for him and his ability to run with a ton of RPOs.
  • I mentioned last week how the titans spent last year and even week 1 holding QBs to the lowest passing yards and many sub 200 games. I also said Stafford profiled closer to the ones who rise above that and had better weapons than even several of those. He did fine with 298 yards and 2 scores.
  • Jones may not have Staffords weapons, but this offense, and Jones are humming and his running ability, especially when vulturing scores, can help boost him
  • Has 270+ passing in both games, scored 5 times, including rushing and passing scores in each
  • Colts haven't punted yet, first team ever through 2 games
  • 2nd in the league in passing

WR21 Michael Pittman Jr. 16 4.88 6.69 48.31 0.44 85%
B
  • 4-40 on a day he gets mostly shadowed by Pat Surtain last week is about as good as you can hope for. Waters get easier this week. He'll get L'Jarious Sneed when he plays and Jarvis Brownlee when he isn't. Mentioned this matchup last week when recommending Davante Adams. Brownlee is ranked 80th among cornerbacks.
  • 21% target share
  • This is the 3rd easiest matchup for fantasy WRs after the Titans gave up huge days to Nukua and Adams last week and Sutton and Franklin didn't have terrible days in week 1
WR32 Alec Pierce 14 3.07 5.5 62.21 0.29 40%
WR51 Josh Downs 15 3.6 5.6 33.67 0.27 56%
C
  • led in targets last week, likely a product of surtain covering pittman
  • He goes up against Roger McCreary who PFF's 8th graded defensive back with a 78.1 coverage grade
  • I'm still giving a C as he can move around, Danny Dimes is on fire, he gets a ton of targets and the matchup having allowed multiple decent days in both weeks to the top two target getters

TE8 Tyler Warren 16 4.44 6.5 49.44 0.25 95%
A
  • Averaging just under 6 for 80 a game
  • Titans haven't been tested this year at TE, only facing the Tyler Higbee and TE flop of the year candidate Evan Engram
  • 29% TPRR, 26% target share. Watching it feels like they are running it through him.

RB1 Jonathan Taylor 16 19.31 97.44 1.13 2.75 3.31 22.81 0.13 100%
A
  • Has the most rush attempts in the NFL through two weeks and most total yards.
  • The Titans allowed 157 and a score to Denver in Week 1 and 124 and a score in week 2 to the Rams
  • Last year Taylor had 29 carries for 218 yards and 3 scores in Week 16 in this matchup, his only game vs them last year
  • Only 3 TEs topped 50 yards on the Titans last year though, so it may be legit, but I trust in how they are using Warren and this offense right now.
  • Titans are just one of 3 teams to allow multiple 40+ yard runs against them.

QB23 Cam Ward 16 16 20 33.56 194.81 0.94 0.44 2.31 9.25 0.06 10%
bench
  • Not only does he barely throw for many yards, he has the lowest yards per completion and his opponent, the colts, allow the fewest yards per completion.
  • In his first two games, Ward saw the Rams and Broncos defenses and a ton of pressure. The Colts have the 2nd lowest pressure rate. It may not be without trying though, they do Blitz 19% of the time which is near the middle of the league.

WR53 Elic Ayomanor 15 2.53 5.27 31 0.27 13%
C
  • Nearly a 25% target share, but Ward doesn't pass much or for many yards, 27% 1st read target share
  • leads the team in air yards, has a 24% target share to ridley's 25%
  • Will get Xavien Howard, who used to be elite, but now ranked 131st out of 141 CBs with a 39.3 PFF grade, 35.1 coverage grade, and 125.2 passer rating against
WR89 Van Jefferson 16 1.81 3.25 21.88 0.06 1%
WR109 Calvin Ridley 7 2.43 5.14 43.29 0 26%
C
  • 25% target share despite some tougher cornerback matchups
  • Will get Charvarius Ward or Mekhi Blackmon depending on Ward's concussion protocol. But he's practicing in full and expected to return. Ward in week 1 was ranked 16th among cornerbacks with a 76.1 coverage grade, so another tougher spot for Ridley.
  • Multiple broncos scored on the colts last week, but they held Waddle and Hill in week 1. Granted, Ward was out and Mehki Blackmon replaced him and allowed one of those scores.
  • led or tied for lead in targets both games.

bench
  • the 4-35 isn't a ginat TE day, but he's getting 18% of the cam ward targets. It's such a low pass offense, but it's of note if the offense even becomes average

B
  • Pollard with just one target in each game
  • Leads RBs in snaps. 19 touches for 89 yards in week 1, 20 for 90 in week 2.
  • The Colts allowed 7.5 yards per touch to Achane and 5.7 yards per touch to Dobbins. If Pollard gets his 20 or so touches at even remotely the same clip he should have a fine day
