Rishard Matthews

Week 2 vs. Houston Texans

Rishard Matthews played in just 52 percent of the snaps last week as he made his return from a knee injury that kept him out the entire preseason. His role should be a little more normal moving forward, even though he failed to record a target last week. With Delanie Walker done for the season, look for Matthews to pick up some of the slack. He's worth a shot moving forward as a flex option.

Fantasy Upside

The Titans keep bringing in young receivers, but Rishard Matthews remains the most reliable receiver in this passing game, at least for now. Matthews has a nice rapport with Marcus Mariota, which is nice to have in this kind of situation.

Fantasy Downside

The Titans would love for Corey Davis to become the No. 1 receiver in this offense. It also hasn't been an offense that chucks the ball all over the place.

2018 Bottom Line

Matthews has the trust of the quarterback, which is huge. And he's got some down-the-field talent. He'll have some bad games, but he'll have some big ones, as well. He's the kind of guy you want on your roster in best-ball situations, where you can take advantage of some of those big games. His ADP puts him in rounds 12-14, which means you can wait and grab him as a No. 5 receiver and start him when the matchup is right.

Wild Card Round at Kansas City Chiefs

Rishard Matthews had just 1 catch for 7 yards last week and now has just 3 receptions in the past two games. Marcus Mariota's ups and downs have made Matthews an afterthought most weeks, but the Titans are going to have to throw the ball to keep up with Kansas City at home. Look for Matthews to bounce back enough this week to be serviceable as a WR2 option.
