NFL Preseason Week 1 Takeaways For Fantasy Football: Carnell Tate, De'Zhaun Stribling & More
FantasyLife • • sports
Key Points:
- The Tennessee Titans played their starters for three drives in Week 1 of the preseason, with a balanced offensive approach and a solid performance from the offensive line against the 49ers' backups.
- Cam Ward completed 62.5% of his passes for 57 yards in limited action, maintaining his status as a low-end QB2 option for fantasy purposes.
- Running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears split first-team reps, with Pollard seen as the likely lead back but Spears maintaining value as an explosive pass-catching option and potential RB5/6 for fantasy.
- Wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate showed significant involvement, with Robinson serving as a borderline WR4 with upside and Tate offering high upside as a sixth-round pick despite no production in this game.
- Calvin Ridley saw limited action and is considered a fade in re-draft leagues, while Elic Ayomanor's strong camp performance could challenge Ridley for playing time; tight end Gunnar Helm remains a late-round option with playing time to monitor.
