Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky: While veteran Shonn Greene is at the head of the line for the Titans running back-by-committee approach, rookie Bishop Sankey is the team's most well-rounded back. Sankey is on a good growth curve, and I expect he will earn the most touches over the course of the season, with Greene and Dexter McCluster making their contributions as more situational players.

Fantasy Impact: 

We’re projecting Sankey to be the clear RB1 in Tennessee after the Titans took him as the first running back in the draft. He’s a versatile runner who doesn’t have much competition for touches. The last 13 rookies who were the top drafted RB in their class and joined a backfield with a lackluster incumbent averaged 18.2 touches for 83.1 yards and 0.55 TD, or 11.6 fantasy points per game. That’s about what Ryan Mathews averaged as the #12 RB in 2013. He carries some risk since the backfield is unsettled, but the Titans didn't draft him so he could stand on the sideline.

Titans Beat: 'Easy to envision' Bishop Sankey as primary ball-carrier

When the regular season arrives, it's easy to envision Titans RB Bishop Sankey as the primary ball-carrier because his all-around skills will make it tough to keep him off the field.

Fantasy Impact: 

We’re projecting Sankey to be the clear RB1 in Tennessee after the Titans took him as the first back in the draft. He’s a versatile back who doesn’t have much competition for touches. The last 13 rookies who were the top drafted RB in their class and joined a backfield with a lackluster incumbent averaged 18.2 touches for 83.1 yards and 0.55 TD, or 11.6 fantasy points per game. That’s about what Ryan Mathews averaged as the #12 RB in 2013. Our only real concern is HC Ken Whisenhunt force-feeding Shonn Greene and/or Dexter McCluster to fill certain roles in his offense.

Titans Beat: WR Kendall Wright is team's 'best player...by a good margin'

Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky:

Kendall Wright is the Titans' best player right now, by a good margin.

He’s caught everything thrown to him, by whichever quarterback, over whichever defender, against whatever coverage.

I like the Titans' overall weaponry. Justin Hunter, Nate Washington, Delanie Walker, Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey offer a nice serving plate of solid options in addition to Wright.

But Wright is 1A, very much at the top of the list, his name absolutely in capital letters.

Make them bold, too.

Fantasy Impact: 

Wright caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards, but only found the endzone twice. He’s not likely to become a major force in the redzone, though new HC Ken Whisenhunt had success around the goal line with a similar player (Eddie Royal) in San Diego. Royal scored six of his eight TDs from inside the 15-yard line (typically on quick screens), so Whisenhunt may elect to use Wright in the same way.

Titans Beat: Big role for RB Dexter McCluster

Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt projected the stats for the team's running backs:

Bishop Sankey: 980 rushing yards, 5 touchdowns; 27 catches, 287 yards, 2 touchdowns.

Shonn Greene: 523 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns; 17 catches, 136 yards, 0 touchdowns.

Dexter McCluster: 329 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns; 51 catches, 496 yards, 5 touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact: 

When these projections are applied to our rankings, Sankey's numbers work out to #16 and #25 in standard and PPR, respectively. Greene (#39 and #44) and McCluster (#34 and #28) are also very fantasy relevant. Specifically, the McCluster projection is eye-opening. Wyatt is expecting McCluster to assume the full Danny Woodhead role in Ken Whisenhunt's offense. For perspective, Woodhead rushed for 429 yards and posted 605 receiving yards, while scoring eight total touchdowns. Wyatt is projecting McCluster for 825 total yards, or roughly 80 percent of Woodhead's total production. He's also projecting a 21 percent increase in rushing yards (1,514 vs. 1,832) and a 119 percent increase in receiving yards (420 vs. 919) for the Tennessee running backs when compared to last season.

We are more bullish on Sankey and bearish on McCluster mainly because we believe that Whisenhunt will realize that McCluster is not as good as Woodhead on passing downs, and will elect to use Sankey more in that role. McCluster does seem like a good late-round flier in PPR formats in the event that Whisenhunt stubbornly feeds him the ball.
