Titans view Bishop Sankey as an 'every down' player

ESPN

Jul 04, 2014 · 4:36 PM EDT

Asked about worrisome outside scouting reports of RB Bishop Sankey, Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky said this:

"They aren't worried about outside scouting reports. They scout him for themselves and they like him and thought he was the best back for them out of all the backs available in the draft. They think he's capable of playing every down, can run inside and out, has good vision, can catch well and will pick up blocking quickly."

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.

Another Titan back also had a productive offseason – Jackie Battle.

Signed by the Titans last July, Battle played in all 16 games last season, though his biggest impact came on special teams. He carried the ball 36 times for 142 yards and a touchdown.

After releasing fullback Quinn Johnson earlier this offseason, the Titans began auditioning Battle at the fullback spot as well. He's welcomed the extra work, and coaches have noticed.

Fantasy Impact:

This could be Battle's best way to stick with the team, to play a little fullback. He'll be behind rookie Bishop Sankey and Shonn Greene and is looking at very limited fantasy value.

Bishop Sankey looks to fill the shoes of the electric Chris Johnson, who left the Titans this year for the Jets.

“Right now, I’m just trying to pick up the plays,” Sankey said. “Getting used to the system at Tennessee and just learning and maturing each day as a player.”

Fantasy Impact:

Just a rookie, Sankey is ranked 16th among our RBs already before camp. We project him as the eventual RB1 for the Titans. He shouldn't have much competition, the closest being Shonn Greene. It looks like Sankey can be had in the early fifth round.

Dexter McCluster's versatility will get him on the field

Titans Online

Jun 25, 2014 · 8:38 AM EDT

Titans beat writer Mike Keith was asked which offseason acquisition is the greatest asset on offense. If draft picks were included, he would have said Bishop Sankey, but since they aren't technically acquisition, he named free agent RB Dexter McCluster:

"He can run the ball. He can catch the ball. He will block. He can run back kicks and punts. He can line up at tailback, at slot receiver or at wide receiver. McCluster’s versatility makes him a weapon. He worries the other team the moment that he steps onto the field, meaning that other Titans on offense will benefit from his presence.

"And McCluster gives you roster-flexibility on Sunday’s for your 46 active players. Down a running back due to injury? You got McCluster. Short a wideout? You got McCluster. Need an extra defensive lineman for a particular game? Because McCluster plays multiple positions and runs back kicks, you can go without an extra offensive player and keep an extra defensive lineman active. "

Fantasy Impact:

McCluster could play the Danny Woodhead role in Ken Whisenhunt's offense, giving him spot starter potential, especially in PPR leagues.
