It's been a long time since Titans running back Shonn Greene felt fully healthy going into a game.

Though he played the last 10 contests of the 2013 season after recovering from knee surgery, Greene was never at 100 percent.

That's why he's excited about Saturday's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers at LP Field. He said he's fully recovered from both knee surgeries he had in the past year.

"I'm good and I'm ready to go, 100 percent," Greene said. "I've worked hard to be back to this point, in rehab and all that. I'm fully confident and ready to go out, compete, execute and help my team win."

Fantasy Impact:

Greene is looking to make a big impression, but we think Bishop Sankey emerges as the RB1 for the Titans. Greene will likely still have some role, however, but Sankey is the back to own here after he was first RB to go at his position in the NFL Draft.

Titans RB Bishop Sankey doing well in pass protection

Titans RB Bishop Sankey is learning quickly how to be a pro, and he has shown a bit of everything the Titans said they expected when they made him the first running back selected in the draft. His first day in pads he looked like an experienced NFL-caliber pass protector. He has good vision and makes good decisions on when to go and when to cut. He also catches the ball well, can run inside and outside.

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.

'Voice of the Titans' Mike Keith...

Bishop Sankey has looked great so far running, catching and blocking. He did a nice job running against the Falcons in Flowery Branch, GA. Sankey is smart, versatile and talented as advertised. I was a fan of his at Washington and am a fan after having gotten to know him and watching him practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Keith goes on to say that Sankey will have to show well in pass protection during the preseason games to earn the starting job.

Shonn Greene is on a plan with the Titans -- four practice days followed by a day off.

The day off, however, features intense conditioning work that is also helping him gain strength back in his right knee, which he injured in the 2013 opener at Pittsburgh. He had surgery after that, and again after the season. He didn’t participate in any offseason practices.

Saturday night at LP Field he made a big impression on coach Ken Whisenhunt and running backs coach Sylvester Croom.

“I thought he moved better than any time since the injury in Pittsburgh last year,” Croom said. “He was never back to 100 percent, he just gutted it out and finished the season. But Saturday night he showed some quickness and change of direction that we haven’t seen from him since the Pittsburgh game.

Fantasy Impact:

Greene isn't 100-percent yet the story said. Rookie Bishop Sankey is projected to be the clear RB1 after the Titans took him as the first back in the draft. Greene took some time away from Chris Johnson last year, including some goal line work, so if Greene is able to get back, that could be his upside, but we see Sankey as the back to own on the Titans.
