Titans Beat: Hakeem Nicks is 'making plays on a regular basis'

Aug 07, 2015

Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt:

Hakeem Nicks didn’t have a great offseason. He was overweight and just didn’t impress me that much. But he’s changed my mind early in training camp. He’s been making plays on a regular basis, and stood out. Still, it’s hard to say what kind of impact he’ll make. Kendall Wright and Harry Douglas will be on the field a lot, along with Justin Hunter. If he keeps performing, the Titans will have to gets Nicks on the field. How fast Dorial Green-Beckham develops will have an impact on his playing time as well, too, though.

Fantasy Impact:

It appears that Hunter is hanging on with Green-Beckham struggling to pick up the offense quickly. Nicks is the dark horse after a rough season in Indianapolis. The two dependable options in the Tennessee passing game are Kendall Wright and Delanie Walker.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
