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: 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.

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.

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.
