Pyro's Take:

Don't get false hope. Even though he is as old as the frozen Woolly Mammoths they found in Russia, Kerry Collins is still the Titans starting quarterback. In fact, Young might not even be the backup as he's battling Patrick Ramsey.

Pyro's Take:

Even though LenDale has lost a significant amount of weight since last year, he'll still be the beast with the ball inside the red-zone this season. He probably won't get as many touches as he got last year (205 touches), but he'll still be eating into Chris Johnson's fantasy value a touch and end up with around 10 TDs.

Pyro's Take:

Young still isn't ready to supplant Kerry Collins as the starting QB yet, but if the Titans begin to falter with Collins at the helm, don't be surprised if they make the switch to Young sooner than you'd think. Despite all the trouble of Vinsanity's recent past, he still has skills galore and will someday be a starting QB in this league.

Pyro's Take:

“I’m trying to be The Man,” Johnson says. “If a player doesn’t think that way, he’s not being truthful. I don’t think anybody wants to go down in history [only] as, ‘I was a great team player.’ I’m a team player and I want to get to the Super Bowl. But when all is said and done, I want to be in the Hall of Fame.” Keep up what you started, Chris, and that's exactly where you'll end up. The only reason why Johnson isn't a top-5 fantasy pick this year is because LenDale White will still be stealing the goal-line touches from him. Otherwise, you can still feel confident with him as a RB1 on your team.

Pyro's Take:

Seems to us like the Titans are pretty set with Gage and Washington starting out wide this year, though rookie Kenny Britt could make his way into the mix at some point. Washington should be the more interesting player, both in reality and in fantasy, though neither should really be more than a deep backup on your team this year as the Titans are still a run-first offensive team.

Pyro's Take:

Britt has played well enough and shown enough skills to warrant the role at this point, but the Titans would love to have Washington back sooner than later. Washington has been a bright spot for the Titans thus far in the preseason, but Britt seems ready for the chance to show his worth. "It is my opportunity to show if somebody goes down I can fill their shoes," said Britt. "If anyone goes down on the receiving corps you're expected to step up and fill their shoes."

Washington could emerge as a back-end fantasy starter this year as the WR1 on the Titans, while Britt has enough talent and upside to warrant a late-round flier in drafts as well. We'll keep you updated on the situation as it goes.

Pyro's Take:

Washington claims that he is better than 80 percent at this point, and would love to play a limited number of snaps against the Steelers on Thursday if cleared. The Titans want to start the season off with a win, but will they risk further injuring their most talented receiver to get it? “I haven’t ruled him out for the game," head coach Jeff Fisher said. “So we’ll just have to see how he is."

Our guess is he's sitting. Either way, don't start him this week against a tough Pittsburgh D.

Pyro's Take:

Washington suffered a strained hamstring on August 24th and has been fighting his way back ever since. His progress has been quick, but we're not sure he's ready for starter-type minutes on the field yet, especially against a defense like Pittsburgh's. Even if he was 100 percent healthy, we still wouldn't start him in Week 1.

Pyro's Take:

Washington may get in the game for some snaps, but the Titans are likely to take it easy on him until he's fully healed. Britt is getting his first chance to shine real quick in his rookie year. We'll see how the kid reacts tonight.

Pyro's Take:

Expect Washington to get between 20 and 25 plays tonight, which means that neither he nor Kenny Britt should be in starting fantasy lineups. Playing against a tough Pittsburgh D, you probably shouldn't have started them anyway.

Pyro's Take:

In Bironas' defense, the snap was horrible and had to be rushed into position, which threw off his timing. He's still one of the best kickers in the league and could be started any week of the year.

Pyro's Take:

Normally an easy target, we may have to temper our enthusiasm for the fun-filled barb at the big pancake. LenDale is still a good handcuff to have for Chris Johnson owners, especially now that he's giving away to fantasy owners the 10,000 bottles of tequila he had stored in his basement.

Pyro's Take:

It was about a 65/35 split when all was said and done - there were no goal-line situations, but its a safe bet that White will be bogarting those. CJ28 will have strong value vs. the cheese defenses, but with match-ups like tonight, his production could be lean.

Pyro's Take:

On the play, Scaife caught a pass near the sidelines when James Harrison tackled him at the knees, buckling Scaife and pushing his knee inwards. He was on the sidelines with an ice-bag on his knee well into the fourth quarter, so it doesn't look like he will return tonight.

Pyro's Take:

Scaife was having a nice game until the injury, mostly due to the Titans inability to rush the ball effectively and having to turn to the pass. Whether or not Scaife will play in next week's game is uncertain right now, but we'll keep you posted throughout the week.

Pyro's Take:

The Titans are counting on Nate to have a big impact in their passing game this year. Unfortunately for Kenny Britt fantasy owners, this means Britt's time on the field will be cut into by the more established Washington.

Pyro's Take:

Bo injured his knee against Pittsburgh last Thursday night, so the fact that it's been a week and he's not back on the practice field doesn't look good. Keep him out of your fantasy lineup on Sunday.

Pyro's Take:

Scaife looked real good in the Titans opener until he got hurt. He won't be back for the game this weekend, but could possibly make his return the following week against the Jaguars.

Pyro's Take:

The normally dependable Bironas is just 2-for-4 on field goals this year so far. Get him out of your fantasy lineup for a week just in case his ankle isn't quite up to snuff.

Pyro's Take:

Hentrich was one of the best punters in history, so it's sad to see the 38-year old go. This could mean a few extra 50+ yarders for Titans kicker Rob Bironas in the near future without their field-position stud punter.

Pyro's Take:

Scaife has been out since injuring his knee in the first game of the year, a game he was playing well in. When back at full speed, Scaife can be started as a low-end TE1 on your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

Scaife led the team in receptions last year, so his return should help the Titans get off the schneid. Being his first game back from injury, however, we'd let him sit on your fantasy football bench for one more week.

Pyro's Take:

If LenDale keeps losing weight like this, as I'm sure he did with the flu, we might see him become a third-down back before too long.
White is really only playable on your fantasy football team in touchdown-heavy leagues, so adjust accordingly.

Pyro's Take:

Sounds a little too wishy-washy for the normally balls-out Fisher. Come on Jeff, you're 0-4 with a 36-year old QB. Grab your cujones and turn to Vince Young already, will ya?

Pyro's Take:

The Titans continue to have to play catchup passing football as their defense is awful right now. If this continues, Washington could be worth something at some point, but for now, keep him on your fantasy football bench.

Pyro's Take:

The Titans look to be passing a bunch yet again as they face one of the hottest teams in the league on Sunday. Nate could be a decent WR3 play on your fantasy football team because of it.

Pyro's Take:

When the Titans defense is playing well, Chris Johnson is one of the top running backs in the league, fantasy football or otherwise. Let's hope the team gets it together so Johnson can get back to his old studly self.

Pyro's Take:

My goodness Jeff, what in the world are you smoking? Collins may not be the sole reason for your 0-5 record, but he hasn't helped, and VY could give the team the boost it needs to feel competitive again.
Young is still the QB on this team that holds the most fantasy football value.

Pyro's Take:

LenDale supposedly walked out of the locker room under his own power, and with the team's bye coming up next week, he'll have plenty of time to rest and get back on the field. He's barely playable on your fantasy football team at this point.

Pyro's Take:

There wasn't much that Vince Young could do against the Patriots on Sunday, but whatever he would have done, it would have had to have been better than what Kerry Collins did. Look for the change at QB to be made in Week 8, and consider picking Vince Young up on the waiver wire if he's still there.

Pyro's Take:

Why coach Jeff Fisher hasn't turned to Vince Young yet is beyond our understanding. They will, however, and when they do, VY will finally have some fantasy football value.

Pyro's Take:

Reports and speculation have said that owner Bud Adams is pushing for Young to be the starter in Week 8, but nothing has been confirmed. Vinsanity easily has the more fantasy football upside of the two.

Pyro's Take:

Though the whole sporting world thinks it should be Vince Young, it will likely still be Collins under center come Sunday. Why, we have no idea.
Vince has the greater fantasy upside if you're willing to take the risk in grabbing him.

Pyro's Take:

The official announcement won't come until later today after the Titans practice, but we don't see how coach Jeff Fisher can keep playing a 36-year old has-been who has led the team to an 0-6 start over the possible future of the franchise Vince Young.
We'll let you know the official word later today.

Pyro's Take:

Stewart regularly sits out Wednesday's, so the routine stays the course this week. The Panthers have a tough rushing match-up this week, but Stewart is still worth a flex start on your fantasy football team as the Titans give up points like nobodies business nowadays.

Pyro's Take:

Nice of you to join us back in the land of No Shit!, Mr. Fisher. Kerry Collins has been dreadful in leading the 13-3 2008 Titans to an 0-6 start this year, so the switch to the younger, more versatile Vinsanity was just a matter of time. Go ahead and grab Young off the waiver wire in your fantasy football league as he has infinitely more value than Collins ever did.

Pyro's Take:

Nate must have done something in practice on Wednesday as this is the first we're hearing of this. Check back tomorrow to see what his story is as he has a great fantasy football match-up against a very weak Jaguars pass D.

Pyro's Take:

Washington has a great match-up against the Jaguars, but with Vince Young starting the game under center for the first time this year, it's difficult to predict how the passing game will go. Start him on your fantasy football team at your own risk.

Pyro's Take:

Nothing like winning, right Fish? Vinsanity looks like he's put his freaky past behind him and could be a decent pickup for your fantasy football team as a backup or start in 2-QB leagues.

Pyro's Take:

CJ28 is on pace for 1,883 at this point, so he could get pretty close. Either way, he's producing like a fantasy football RB1 should right now, much to the delight of his owners.

Pyro's Take:

Funny guy Gager, but isn't that line reserved for Kurt Warner?
Gage has been more productive since Vinsanity took over, going for the most yards and targets on the team the past two weeks, but he's still hardly a flex option on your fantasy football team at this point.

Pyro's Take:

Another quote we like is from one of the best LBs in the game, Patrick Willis:
"You can't take anything from the guy," 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said. "If you give him what he is looking for, which is the edge, he can turn and run like there is no tomorrow."

CJ28 might be the top fantasy football running back in the game right now, so don't even think about taking him out of your lineup... for ANY reason.

Pyro's Take:

Gage should be fine. He's still no more than a flex play on your fantasy football team with the Titans turning to the run even more now that Vinsanity has taken over at QB.

Pyro's Take:

He's not the greatest option, but he's better than Ryan Fitzpatrick, so he gets the nod. Neither QB is worth starting fantasy football consideration.

Pyro's Take:

Gage should be able to play on Sunday, but probably shouldn't be in your fantasy football lineup against a tough Buffalo secondary.

Pyro's Take:

Presumably, just like half of the other players in the NFL, LenDale came down with the flu. He should be okay for Sunday's game, but he's become fantasy football scrapheap material with Chris Johnson taking the league by storm.

Pyro's Take:

He wasn't playable on your fantasy football team before his concussion, and nothing has changed since.

Pyro's Take:

Gage will be out a couple of weeks as the fractures in his back heal. He won't need surgery, however, which is always a good thing.

Pyro's Take:

Rookie WR Kenny Britt seems to be filling in just fine for Gage, leading the Titan receivers in yards the past two games and hauling in his first TD reception Monday night. However, with Vince Young leading a rush-based team, neither Britt nor Gage are worth much in the world of fantasy football just yet.

However, with Vince Young leading a rush-based team, neither Britt nor Gage are worth much in the world of fantasy football just yet.

Pyro's Take:

The Cards would have to wait a few days for Warner to be without concussion symptoms before being able to clear him for contact, but we fully expect him to start on Sunday. The Titans pass D has improved the past few weeks, but Warner would still be a must-start for your fantasy football team if he plays this weekend. Check back with us throughout the week to make sure you can safely get him in your lineup.

Pyro's Take:

Warner seems to be just fine, and if he's out on the practice field this early in the week, there's almost no doubt he'll play. He has a nice match-up this week against the Titans, so check with us to make sure you can start him on your fantasy football team this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

It sure looks like Warner will be in there against the Titans on Sunday, but you might want to check back with us before gluing him into your fantasy football lineup this weekend. Concussions have a tendency to involve setbacks, so wait as long as you can before committing yourself to the old man.

Pyro's Take:

Warner's neck has been sore all week, but that shouldn't stop him from playing or stop you from starting him on your fantasy football team against a beatable Titans secondary. Check back just to make sure he's a go this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

The team is preparing as if Matt Leinart will start, so if you were planning on using Warner on your fantasy football team today, you might want to look in another direction.

Pyro's Take:

The team is preparing as if Matt Leinart will start, so if you were planning on using Warner on your fantasy football team today, you might want to look in another direction.

Pyro's Take:

Warner woke up with a sore neck today, so the Cardinals are going to side with caution here and sit the old man down for a game. Get him out of your fantasy football lineup if you can and throw in Leinart as he has a nice match-up against a mediocre Titans secondary.

Pyro's Take:

Warner woke up with a sore neck today, so the Cardinals are going to side with caution here and sit the old man down for a game. Get him out of your fantasy football lineup if you can and throw in Leinart as he has a nice match-up against a mediocre Titans secondary.

Pyro's Take:

This was probably the right move to make, though Warner likely would have led the team to victory on Sunday. We'll assume that Kurt will be ready to face the Vikings next weekend, but keep tabs on our newsbreakers to make sure you can get him in your fantasy football lineup.

Pyro's Take:

At least it wasn't because he's back on bottle. White has been fantasy football garbage all year, so him missing the game on Sunday should not have affected your week in the slightest.

Pyro's Take:

Delhomme has been awful this year, which prompts us to wonder if the Panthers shouldn't follow the path paved by the Titans earlier this year. Delhomme and Kerry Collins have a ton in common, though Matt Moore really isn't even close to Vince Young.
Whatever happens next week, neither Delhomme nor Moore are worth a slot on your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

All the players want him back too... even the rookie who looks to have taken his job, Kenny Britt, as Gage is known as a big brother to these guys. Even if he does return, he won't be worth more than a flex at best on your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

Since Joseph Addai has been playing so well as of late, Brown's touches have gone down to the point where he's barely a flex play on your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

There's no word as to whether or not he'll play this Sunday yet, but even if he does, he won't be worth more than a weak flex play on your fantasy football team.

Pyro's Take:

This is the first we've heard of the injury, as Bironas was in the game to kick the last second extra point against the Cardinals last weekend. We'll keep you updated on the situation as Rob has become a starting kicker for your fantasy football team the last month or so.

Pyro's Take:

Gage is a wily veteran, sure, but his upside and breakaway ability is nowhere close to that of the rookie. We expect to see Britt more than we saw him in the beginning of the year, but his fantasy football value does take a hit with this news.

Pyro's Take:

Pyro's Take:

Said Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck: "Rajon Rondo doesn't want any piece of C.J. As a matter of fact, if you can get the message to Rondo, we'll match him bill for bill, whatever he wants to do. Our money is on C.J. I am faster than Rondo."

No Keith, you aren't, but CJ28 most definitely is. In fact, besides Bo Jackson, Chris Johnson is maybe the fastest football player we've ever seen.
Save your money Rondo, or better yet, go make a contribution to the Save Antoine Walker fund!

Pyro's Take:

We expect Bironas to play this Sunday, but you might want to check back with us throughout the week just to be sure you can get him into your fantasy football lineup.

Pyro's Take:

Coach Jeff Fisher said that his ankle was nothing to be worried about, so get him back in your fantasy football lineup.

Pyro's Take:

Brown has had an up-and-down rookie year thus far, but he definitely shows a lot of promise. Mark Joseph Addai back up to RB2 fantasy football status with nice upside upon the Donald Brown news.

Pyro's Take:

Give Addai a boost as far as fantasy football numbers go, but don't expect the world as the Titans have a real solid rush D.

Pyro's Take:

Britt has been playing really well of late, so go ahead and use him as a WR3 or flex on your fantasy football team today.

Pyro's Take:

Britt has been playing really well of late, so go ahead and use him as a WR3 or flex on your fantasy football team today.

Pyro's Take:

He was able to finish the game with the help of a brace, while coach Steve Spagnuolo remains hopeful Donnie will be able to play next week against the Titans. However, he's barely worth playing as a flex on your fantasy football team with Kyle Boller under center.

Pyro's Take:

Vinsanity had a bit of a hiccup against the mighty Colts last week, but he and the Titans should get back to their winning ways against the Rams next Sunday. He might even be worth a QB2 play on your fantasy football team if you don't have any better options.

Pyro's Take:

SJax will almost certainly play on Sunday, as he has fought through his injury the past two weeks to suit up on game day. As usual, he is a must-start on your fantasy team regardless of the matchup.

Pyro's Take:

So they decided to put an actual affliction on the report instead of saying what it really was... a much deserved day off. CJ28 will be running around like crazy again this weekend against a soft Rams D that loves to give it up to the RBs. He's a fantasy RB1 as usual this week.

Pyro's Take:

If he doesn't suffer a setback in practice this week, Gage will be back and surely eat into the fantasy football value of rookie Kenny Britt. His return would help the Titans as a team, but he's still worth no more than a low-end flex on yours.

Pyro's Take:

“He has been trying to push through practice and he just had a setback so we shut him down," Fisher said. “We’ll tend to him inside and see how he is tomorrow."
We're betting on Vinsanity playing Sunday, but you might want to check back later before putting him into your fantasy football lineup as a QB2 this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

Johnson has become the number one overall RB in fantasy this year, so don't even think about taking him out of your lineup.

Pyro's Take:

Vinsanity looks like he might end up a game-time decision on Sunday, and with the team likely looking to run a bunch against the Rams, we wouldn't suggest using Vince on your fantasy football team even if he does play.

Pyro's Take:

Johnson is the top overall RB in fantasy football this week, so don't make the mistake of not getting him in your lineup this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

Jackson should play as usual on Sunday, but he might have a tough time finding holes against a strong Titans rush D. He's still a must-start on your fantasy football team this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

Avery will be out there on Sunday, but stay away from playing him on your fantasy football team as CB Cortland Finnegan is likely to be shadowing him all day long.

Pyro's Take:

Vinsanity will likely be limited in practice this week, but should be able to give it a go in Week 15. Either way, he probably shouldn't be starting for your fantasy football playoff matchup anyway.

Pyro's Take:

Young has been telling people that he's playing on Sunday, and coach Jeff Fisher seems to agree, so we will too. He's got a decent matchup, so using him as a QB2 on your fantasy team this weekend isn't a bad option.

Pyro's Take:

Vince is still being listed as questionable, but he'll be out there. He could be worth a QB2 play on your fantasy football team this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

Vinsanity will be back at it again today as the Titans look for their 7th win in their last eight tries. He might be worth a QB2 start on your fantasy team going up against a weak Dolphins pass D.

Pyro's Take:

Jones clearly hasn't recovered from his rib injury, so why not rest him the final week as he's not the Seahawks back of the future anyway. Look for Justin Forsett to get the majority of the work against the Titans in Week 17.

Pyro's Take:

CJ28 earned 38.5 votes out of 50, while Drew Brees came in second with 9, Peyton Manning in third with 1.5, and Philip Rivers in fourth with 1. Johnson was ridiculous this year putting up just the sixth 2,000-yard rushing season, 16 TDs, and 11 straight 100-yard games (including 6 straight of 125+ yards). He has pretty much established himself as a top-3 pick in the 2010 fantasy draft, and likely will be the consensus No. 1.

Pyro's Take:

No argument here. What Young did for the Titans once he replaced Kerry Collins was nothing short of Pro Bowl-worthy. After starting off 0-6, Young was finally inserted into the starting lineup and led the team to an 8-2 record down the stretch while just barely missing the playoffs. If there's anything that can be said about Vinsanity, it's that he's a winner, plain and simple.
