Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts 4:25 p.m. EST
Believe it or not, I think the Titans could have a player who could make the winning lineups. The Colts have no problem giving up the underneath passes, and QB Cam Ward is playing better since the first time these two teams met. WR Calvin Ridley still isn’t practicing, which should continue to open the door for WR Chimere Dike, who had 16.9 fantasy points last week. WR Elic Ayomanor could also be a cheap WR option. TE Chig Okonkwo had a touchdown in the first meeting and could reach 15 points with a little more volume.
As for the Colts, it’s all about RB Jonathan Taylor. He is priced up, but he leads the league in touchdowns with 11 and should be a lock for at least 110 total yards and a touchdown. His ability to rack up even more yardage and produce multiple scores makes him a slate breaker. He has been in the winning lineups in 5 of his seven games. The passing game led by QB Daniel Jones is excellent, but it has been capped because they run the ball so well and have had big second-half leads. I think WR Michael Pittman and TE Tyler Warren will have solid games, but can they have the big game to take down a tournament? WR Josh Downs is back, and he should dig into their production. I feel there are better receiving options because I see the Colts slowing down in the second half as two-touchdown favorites.
