Tennessee Titans

Marcus Mariota (Quarterback): Mariota had an incredible game last week finishing 13/16 for 209 yards and FOUR touchdowns. That is in his first NFL game. Fantasy trends dictate he will either have an abysmal game against the Browns or this is no fluke and Mariota's star will continue to rise. I was starting him until I picked up Carson Palmer so there are better options out there but he still could have a big day.

Kendall Wright/ Dorial Green-Beckham/Justin Hunter (Wide Receiver): Wright finished the game with 101 yards from 4 catches and a TD. DGB finished without a catch and did not receive any targets. He should be more of threat later on in the season when this offense gets stabilized. Hunter finished with 2 targets and seems to be on the tail end of Mariota's targets.

Delanie Walker (Tight End): Walker finished week 1 with 3 catches for 43 yards and a touchdown. This was a solid performance from one of the top tight ends on fantasy draft boards. He is questionable for week 2 with a hand injury but he is not close to 100 percent. It may be a better idea to bench Walker for this week.

Bishop Sankey (Running Back): Sankey had a crazy day, a lot of good mixed with some bad. Sankey finished the day with 12 carries, 74 yards, a touchdown, and 2 catches for 12 yards. Those are some solid points for Sankey who was thought as the lost man on the Titans depth chart. Sankey also fumbled in the fourth quarter so this may affect how many carries he gets this week. Sankey is a solid flex option.

Cleveland Browns

Duke Johnson/Isaiah Crowell (Running Back): Johnson and Crowell were both incredibly disappointing in their week 1 matchup playing a tough Jets defense.  The Titans should be more manageable but Crowell and Johnson don't have clear roles yet so they will be hard to trust. It is best to stay away from until both running backs roles are more defined.  

Travis Benjamin/Andrew Hawkins (Wide Receiver): Benjamin had a crazy fantasy week but I doubt that will happen again, most of his points came from a 54 yard Manziel touchdown pass. Hawkins got the most targets but that is not enough to put him on your fantasy team, the Browns wide receivers should be avoided until that offense can be more consistent.
