The guy has insane speed and can catch the ball. It's only a matter of time before he's getting more carries than Lendale White. VY even said how well he's doing picking up blitzes.

I saw this kid firsthand... he absolutely crushed my Boise St Broncos. Guy is insanely fast with moves and vision. He'll be the best fantasy RB on the Titans this year, even if they totally abandon him at the goal line.

When was the last time Jeff Fisher relied on a speed back?

Lendale will get 2000 carries and VY will avg 10 pass attempts a game.

I wouldn't touch a Titans offensive player this year. Maybe Alge and thats it.

Their D will be tough. Maybe Chris will end up playing Special teams.

When is the last time Fisher had someone who could run a 4.2, catch passes, and block? This kid is special.

He's an okay late rounder but he has to play much better than expected and White would have to get hurt for him to have much value.

I remember last year you said the same about Cedric Benson and David Carr. Numbers only mean something if you can play and most people don't seem to think he can so I have my doubts.

I think you have me confused... I said Carr could be a good QB behind one of the better offensive lines in football. I never predicted fantasy success where he landed though.

yea i thought he looked pretty good too
white isnt a dominate rb at all... he could lose his starting job easily
is worth keeping an eye on but think im staying away from both players also
