Brutally Honest Critique of Titans Offense from Fantasy Perspective


Recommended Posts

From Brad Evans and the gang:

 

"Last season, Davis attracted 26.4 percent of the target share and was one of the league’s featured red-zone options, qualities that speak to his WR2 upside. However, Mariota, who would be a last-round pick in your local darts league, has failed the WR in realizing his true potential. Davis’ ninth-worst on-target percentage (79.3) is a perfect summation."

 

"Sure, there are reports that his “chemistry” with Marcus Mariota is growing, but that’s peak offseason click-fodder. The Titans found what worked down the stretch last season … leaning on Derrick Henry. Frankly, that’s the only piece of this offense I’m interested in acquiring next season."

 

Can Mariota finally put it together? "But it’s not just the fact that he has yet to post a full sixteen-game effort in his four year career. It’s also the lack of red zone attempts (QB22) in tandem with a stagnant number of rushing attempts. The stats just don’t add up to a breakout season, which is why he’s my QB29 heading into 2019."

 

..."an offense that averaged the second fewest pass attempts (27.3) per game in 2018."

 

Mad Bets (From FanDuel Sportsbook): Tennessee 8 wins OVER (+115) or UNDER (-135)

Brad: UNDER. Tennessee is tied with Tampa with the sixth-toughest schedule per projected Vegas win totals. Weighing Mariota’s unreliability, 9-7 seems unattainable.

Andy: UNDER. When a team has this sort of quarterback trouble, it’s almost impossible for me to predict a winning season.

Only 1 problem, as stated in the piece, Mariota. He was bottom of the barrel last year. His backup is Tannehill, who also has shown flashes but remained inconsistent. If we had a top 10 QB, we could c

The gist of the article, which was for fantasy football nerds btw, was that this guy wouldn’t draft anyone but Henry because he lacks confidence in Mariota.  Pointed out the lack of production and use

The QB position has to play better - yes.  Guess we'll see.

In fairness, the Titans on paper are significantly more talented on offense than they were last year.  WR, TE with Walker back, OL.

 

I'd expect them to be better.

No matter how you look at it, where you analyze it, debate it - NFL comes down to QB play.

 

2019 is set.  Titans know what they are going in this season with.  There are 4 and 7 years of history to show at the most important position.  My odds are about a 40% chance this season has a positive outcome.  My 2019 positive outcome is a playoff win.  Division champ and home playoff game, AFC Championship game reduce it way less than the 40%.

 

History is not in the Titans favor but I believe because I am a fan(antic).
