Tennessee Titans RBs Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard are "both starting players to me," according to head coach Brian Callahan. "The fun part for me is: How are we going to deploy those guys? Maybe they both play at the same time, maybe one gets hot and you let him run, maybe we just rotate back and forth. I don't know what that's going to look like yet. But they are both going to play quite a bit of football for us, and I don't view either one of them as a starter or a back-up. They are both starting players to me," Callahan said.
Huddle Up: Fantasy managers typically frown on comments that provide no hint of one player emerging as a true Week 1 starter, but huge upside can sometimes be found in uncertain backfields. Pollard will almost certainly open the season as the 1A back given the three-year, $21.75 million contract he signed this spring. With that said, Spears offers enough explosiveness that he could be a great flex or low-end RB2 option - almost like a poor man's De'Von Achane - with limited work. Fantasy managers should be happy to land either player as a RB3 or flex option.

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks "has really grown up" this offseason, according to general manager Ran Carthon. "I think Treylon has really grown up. He sent us a picture during the offseason, this little break here, showing his new physique. He came in and he really took to heart the conversation that he had with myself and coach (Brian Callahan). And he's completely bought in. I've messaged with him throughout the offseason and I think he's in a really good spot. ... So I'm expecting things from him and just his unselfishness. I know there was some talk about him taking gunner reps (on special teams), but that was because he wanted to. He wants to prove that he can stay healthy and play top-level football," Carthon told Turron Davenport of ESPN.
Huddle Up: Regardless of how much Burks has grown up over the last few weeks, he is not going to overtake Calvin Ridley or DeAndre Hopkins, so his best shot at playing time is to push Tyler Boyd for work in the slot. That also seems like an unlikely path given Callahan's ties to Boyd from their time together in Cincinnati, but a motivated Burks is talented enough to do it. Burks will not need to be drafted in most fantasy leagues, but he is someone managers in deeper leagues should monitor closely after the start of the season.

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis averaged 10.6 intended air yards per pass attempt in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference. The mark was easily the highest among qualified quarterbacks, 1.6 yards more than second-place C.J. Stroud.
Huddle Up: It remains to be seen if new head coach Brian Callahan will opt to stretch the field as often as the previous regime did, but this is great news for Calvin Ridley at the very least since he figures to be the primary deep threat. Expect Levis to trade in distance for volume under Callahan. The second-year player has all the weapons he could ask for now - Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyler Boyd, Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard among them - and should be expected to serve as a solid QB2 option in fantasy in 2024.

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis was under pressure on 28.1% of his 255 pass attempts in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference. That mark ranked second among qualified quarterbacks.
Huddle Up: Levis did hold the ball too long for his own good on occasion, but he struggled more often than not because of the lack of talent at receiver (not much behind DeAndre Hopkins) and a horrible offensive line. With additions such as Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, J.C. Latham and Lloyd Cushenberry in an offense led by new head coach Brian Callahan, Levis should be in a much better position to show if he is the team's present and future. Consider him a decent QB2 with upside in fantasy drafts this summer.

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis has worked on refining his mechanics this offseason. He realized he was moving his feet too much during play-action passes and wanted to be "more stationary."
Huddle Up: Levis is a boom-or-bust QB2 in two-QB leagues and an upside backup in traditional formats.

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks will need to prove himself as a contributor on special teams to make the game day roster if he is not named as a full-time starter, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
Huddle Up: In other words, he will need to beat out Tyler Boyd for slot duties because he isn't going to bump Calvin Ridley or DeAndre Hopkins out of the lineup. Getting the nod ahead of Boyd does not have a great chance of happening, which is probably one reason why the team was trying him out as a gunner on Tuesday. Burks needs multiple players to miss games this season if he has any hopes of becoming a productive player in Tennessee.

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis threw four touchdowns over his final eight starts after throwing four touchdowns in his NFL debut.
Huddle Up: Levis showed off his big arm in his debut, but he did little of note the rest of the way. He remains an unproven option entering his second season, and he should be considered a high-risk, high-reward QB2 option.

Tennessee Titans RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are viewed comparatively as the duo has been working together in the offseason program. "Both guys, you don't have to worry about in terms of counting touches in terms of handoffs, running the ball. Because they can both catch the ball fairly well out of the backfield," running backs coach Randy Jordan said. "So, in that respect, I am not counting touches in terms of rushes. I'm counting, "Hey, you got 10 rushes, but you also got six catches, and that's a total of 16." And I think they're getting a really good feel for each other on and off the field."
Huddle Up: Spears has more home-run ability than Pollard, who tanked in his first opportunity as the bell cow in Dallas. Both are probably low-end RB2/high-end RB3s, but Spears' explosiveness gives him the upside.

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis said he expects to "throw the ball on first down this season" and to throw the ball in situations where they didn't last season.
Huddle Up: Levis showed the ability to push the ball down the field last year, and it makes sense to lean into his big arm as much possible. Still, consistency will likely remain an issue, making Levis a boom-or-bust QB2.

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks is expected to be able to play "a good role" for the team this season despite the recent additions of Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, according to head coach Brian Callahan. "We've made very clear to Treylon that the signing of Tyler isn't about him. It's about helping our team get better. Adding better players to our team. Making us a competitive football team. What he's done and how he's worked has been great. I'm anticipating him still being able to play a good role for us. ... You (have) to have guys that can play roles. That hasn't changed. It doesn't change anything for Treylon as far as what we're expecting from him and what I'm hopeful that he's able to bring to the offense. We communicated that to him. He's aware that (signing Boyd) is not about him," Callahan said.
Huddle Up: It is notable that Callahan made a point to say that Boyd's addition was "not about Burks," but the reality is that he will be the fourth receiver at best in this offense. Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins are firmly entrenched as the top two options in the passing game barring injury, while Callahan also noted that Boyd is a "fantastic" slot receiver. As a result, Burks likely profiles as no more than a high-upside stash in deep leagues who may get occasional use as a gadget player barring an injury to the top three receivers on the roster.

Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Boyd probably will be the leading candidate for the No. 3 receiver job this upcoming season because of his familiarity with head coach Brian Callahan's offensive scheme.
Huddle Up: Boyd probably will be used as the slot receiver of the Titans and should see a few targets each game. He can be a late round option in fantasy drafts but probably will not be a starting option most weeks unless he builds a good connection with Will Levis.

Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd (Bengals) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, May 7.
Huddle Up: The fit makes sense considering Boyd played for new head coach Brian Callahan while the latter was his offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals. Boyd should be the primary slot receiver in three-receiver packages - which Tennessee figures to use a lot - and the primary backup for Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins in two-receiver sets. Whether Boyd can be anything more than the WR5 option he has been in recent seasons will depend mostly on Will Levis, but the Titans do not lack for receiver talent for the first time in years.

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks has been impressive during the early part of the offseason program and is learning the new offense, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
Huddle Up: Burks likely will be behind DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley on the depth chart but should still have a decent role in the passing game as the No. 3 receiver. He should see a handful of targets each game but probably will not be a starting fantasy option most weeks.

Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks is not a lock to have a significant role in 2024. "Treylon's potential is very high. First-round pick, we see all the talent. But he's going to get what he earns," offensive coordinator Nick Holz said on Wednesday, April 10.
Huddle Up: Burks has been incredibly disappointing over the first two seasons of his career after being selected with the No. 18 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Not only has he battled injury, including two concussions, but he also hasn't managed to be productive when on the field. Making his outlook less rosy, the Titans added Calvin Ridley and are bringing back DeAndre Hopkins, which means Burks is third in the pecking order, at best. On the bright side, the Titans do have a new head coach in Brian Callahan, who may be able to get more out of the Arkansas product in a what should be a more pass-heavy offense than the one Burks was in the last two years. Even still, Burks is nothing more than a late-round flyer in re-draft leagues and is hanging on by a thread in terms of being someone owners should roster in dynasty leagues.

Tennessee Titans RBs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are expected to split the backfield workload in a "1A, 1B" situation, said offensive coordinator Nick Holz on Wednesday, April 10. "We see it 1A, 1B, and they're both just gonna play a ton, get a lot of carries and let 'em roll," Holz said.
Huddle Up: Who will be the 1A in this situation is up for debate. Both Pollard and Spears have proven to be explosive backs, but the overall split in the backfield may make it a moot point for fantasy managers. View both as high-end RB3 options until more clarity on the split is given.

Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd (Bengals) has attracted interest from multiple clubs over the past month but he is unlikely to sign a contract before the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: The Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers are among the clubs that have been linked to Boyd in recent weeks. However, regardless of where he lands, Boyd should be viewed as a WR4 or WR5 fantasy option with limited upside in leagues of 12 or more teams.

Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd has received "preliminary interest" from the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, according to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: Per Kaboly, the Pittsburgh Steelers no longer appear to be interested. In terms of the best landing spot for his fantasy stock, the Chargers would seem to be his best bet - at least for now. Even if the Chargers add a first-round receiver this month, Boyd would likely be the primary slot and Justin Herbert's second-best option. The Chiefs and Dolphins would also be decent landing spots. With that said, Boyd's upside is probably in the WR5 range at this point of his career.

Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley will play "a very similar role to what Ja'Marr (Chase) played" in new head coach Brian Callahan's offense when he was the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: It comes as no surprise that Ridley is expected to become a featured part of Tennessee's offense with a new contract that averages $23 million per season in annual value, but there are enough differences between Chase and Ridley to suspect the Titans would use them differently. Assuming Callahan is being honest, fantasy managers should expect Ridley to run significantly more short and intermediate routes than he did last season. He should also see more usage out of the slot. It is great news for his current and future investors. As long as Will Levis is up to the task, Ridley could push for WR1 production in 2024.

Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd (Bengals) is receiving additional interest from the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets, according to sources Thursday, March 14. The Pittsburgh Steelers also have shown interest.

Free-agent WR Calvin Ridley (Jaguars) agreed to terms on a four-year contact with the Tennessee Titans Wednesday, March 13, worth $92 million, according to sources. The deal includes $50 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Ridley will join DeAndre Hopkins as the main receivers in Tennessee for the foreseeable future. He should see a good amount of targets each game and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Impending free-agent WR Calvin Ridley (Jaguars) is reportedly trying to decide if he wants to remain with the Jacksonville Jaguars or leave for the New England Patriots, according to sources.
Huddle Up: The implication here is that Ridley wants to return but Jacksonville is lukewarm on bringing him back - at least at the moment - while the lack of a quality quarterback in New England could be what is holding up a deal between Ridley joining the Patriots. The likelihood is that the Jaguars will ramp up their efforts to sign him on Wednesday when they will not be forced to give up a second-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons (per conditions of the teams' trade in 2022).

Impending free-agent RB Tony Pollard (Cowboys) agreed to a three-year deal worth $24 million with the Tennessee Titans, according to sources Monday, March 11.
Huddle Up: Pollard is coming off a disappointing 2023 season in what was his first as a starter. He'll split snaps with second-year back Tyjae Spears, and it's likely they will eat into each other's fantasy value. For now, view Pollard as an RB2 until more clarity is provided on his role.

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent RB Tony Pollard will be testing the free-agent market but is open to re-signing with the Cowboys even if another team offers slightly more than the Cowboys, according to The Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins.
Huddle Up: Pollard should receive interest from multiple teams this offseason, so fantasy players should monitor the situation to see where he will play in 2024. He should see a good amount of touches wherever he plays and can be a No. 2 back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent WR Calvin Ridley appears to be on track to hit the free-agent market this offseason, and it is believed that some teams may be willing to pay him like a No. 1 receiver, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Ridley likely will be one of the top receivers if he makes free agency and should receive a nice payday from a team. He can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues next season.

Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis is viewed as the team's starting quarterback heading in the 2024 season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
Huddle Up: Levis flashed a powerful arm in his rookie season, but he did little else to solidify his status as a franchise quarterback. He will have some potential as a high-risk, high-reward QB2, but his performance this year will likely decided his NFL future.

Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears finished the 2023 campaign with 435 rushing yards and 838 scrimmage yards, ranking fifth and fourth among rookie backs, respectively.
Huddle Up: Spears quietly had an impressive campaign despite the fact that he was working behind Derrick Henry and one of the worst offensive lines the NFL. Spears should have a bigger role in 2024, even if Derrick Henry returns, and with his ability as a rusher and pass-catcher he should return at least flex value with more touches.

Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard was fourth in the league with 510 yards after contact in 2023.
Huddle Up: There has been a lot of negative rhetoric surrounding Pollard, and some of it is deserved after an inconsistent fantasy season. This stat paints a different picture that maybe his o-line didn't do him many favors. He was still the RB14 in PPR leagues, and he may have room to build on that this year as a great RB2.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in re-signing QB Mason Rudolph, who is an unrestricted free agent. Head coach Mike Tomlin and team president Art Rooney II have said that bringing him back is the team's top priority.
Huddle Up: Although Rudolph played well down the stretch, winning the final three games of the regular season to lead the team to a postseason berth, neither he nor Kenny Pickett should be viewed as a recommended option in 2024 redraft leagues. However, dynasty owners should hold on to Pickett if he is on their roster.
