The Cowboys are getting WR Brandin Cooks from the Texans for a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-rounder in 2024, according to multiple reports. Dallas likely views Cooks as the new No. 2 WR, ahead of Michael Gallup. We wouldn't bet on him beating CeeDee Lamb in target share. Cooks is coming off a disappointing 2022 that saw his receptions per game, yards per game and catch rate fall significantly vs. his previous two Houston campaigns. He managed just a WR40 finish in PPR points per game. But we're not betting that the 29-year-old (until Sept. 25) is over the hill just yet. If the team change doesn't boost Cooks' ADP too much vs. his current low-WR4 position, he's a solid-to-good option for your best ball drafts. Cooks' arrival also helps QB Dak Prescott, who sits low in QB1 territory in best ball ADP. As for the Houston WR corps: Try not to get too excited about anyone. The Texans signed Robert Woods to a two-year deal this offseason. Nico Collins has averaged just 2.9 receptions per game through two NFL seasons. And 2022 second-round pick John Metchie is expected to debut after missing his rookie year for leukemia treatment. The whole group should at least get a new QB next month via the NFL Draft.
The Texans have signed WR Robert Woods to a two-year deal. The pact includes $10 million guaranteed and could be worth as much as $17 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. This signing ahead of NFL free agency opening signals that Houston either wants Woods to replace WR Brandon Cooks once he’s traded or that it prefers Woods to Nico Collins as the No. 2 receiver. Woods has been going near the end of best ball drafts, so signing anywhere helps his outlook. We’ll see what the Texans do at QB and whether they make any other WR moves before determine the veteran’s ultimate value
The Titans released WR Robert Woods, The Score's Jordan Schultz reports. It's no surprise considering Woods was set to count $14.6 million against the 2023 salary cap. 30 years old and coming off a torn ACL, Woods didn't appear to have much juice left this past season, averaging a career-low 9.9 yards per catch. He ranked 59th among 84 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' receiving grades. We'll see where Woods lands, but don't expect to find him high in the 2023 fantasy football rankings.
Titans QB Malik Willis went 14-of-23 passing in Saturday's loss to the Texans, tallying just 99 yards (4.3 per attempt) with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. WR Robert Woods was the only Titan with more than 2 receptions, catching all 4 of his targets for 30 yards. Willis will start at least 1 more game Thursday night against the Cowboys.
Titans insider Paul Kuharsky hears that QB Ryan Tannehill is "very likely" done for the season with an ankle injury that may require surgery. Tannehill has hurt this right ankle twice this season -- but was surprisingly allowed to re-enter last week's loss to the Chargers. His absence leaves QB Malik Willis at the controls the rest of the way. The rookie made 2 starts the first time Tannehill went down, TOTALING 135 passing yards on 26 attempts. Tennessee will go as run-heavy as possible with Willis, tanking the fantasy value of pass catchers like TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks.
Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. That leaves Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee's top 2 WRs once again -- and keeps TEs Chig Okonkwo and Austin Hooper in play for fantasy lineups.
Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He now looks like a long shot to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. That'll keep Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine atop the WR depth chart -- and keep TE Chig Okonkwo in play as a fantasy spot starter.
Titans TE Chig Okonkwo caught a team-leading 6 passes for 45 yards and a TD on 6 targets in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. TE Austin Hooper and WR Robert Woods tied for 2nd on the team with 5 receptions apiece, in a game that saw QB Ryan Tannehill throw or 254 yards. WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine drew a team-high 8 targets but caught just 3. He did snag Tannehill's other TD.
Titans TE Treylon Burks (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. That leaves Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee’s top 2 WRs – and could mean more targets for TEs Austin Hooper and Chig Okonkwo.
Titans WR Treylon Burks caught 4 of 6 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. Most of that yardage came on a 51-yard contested catch in the 3rd quarter. His biggest play, however, came early in the 2nd quarter. That's when the rookie recovered a Derrick Henry fumble in the end zone for the team's only TD. WRs Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine matched Burks for the team target lead. Westbrook-Ikhine caught 4 for 58 yards. Woods managed only 2 receptions for 16 yards.
Titans WR Treylon Burks caught 3 balls for 24 yards Sunday in his 1st action since suffering a toe injury back in Week 4. His 6 targets checked in 4th on the team, but Burks tied WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 2nd most routes, trailing only WR Robert Woods. We'd bet on more production for the rookie than Westbrook-Ikhine the rest of the way, in spite of the latter's big performance against Denver. Tennessee's run-leaning offense limits the upside, of course. Woods and TE Austin Hooper tied for 2nd on the team with 7 targets Sunday. Hooper caught 5 balls for 41 yards. Woods managed only 2 receptions for 10 yards.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Tannehill practiced all week, including 1 full workout on Thursday. There's still a chance that his mobility is compromised, though, and the matchup is brutal vs. Denver's 2nd-ranked QB defense. Tannehill isn't even a recommended QB2 starter, but we'd still consider him good news for Tennessee's offense.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in Wednesday's practice, a full participant on Thursday and limited again on Friday. We're guessing that was the plan coming into the week, rather than a setback, and that Tannehill will start Sunday's game. We'll look for further updates on the situation and will get Tennessee's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. It looks like he's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. It's good news for Tennessee's offense, but we'd still avoid this passing game against a tough Denver pass defense.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. QB Malik Willis gets another start after completing just 6 of 10 passes for 55 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT in last week’s Derrick Henry-led win over the Texans. Willis figures to be forced to throw more tonight – and we’re not expecting it to go well.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says there's "not a lot of optimism" that Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will be able to play vs. the Chiefs tonight. That'd mean a 2nd straight start for rookie QB Malik Willis, who reportedly took most of the reps in practice this week. Willis threw just 10 passes in a comfortable win over the Texans last week. Tennessee will certainly hope to go run-heavy again tonight -- but there's a good chance that Willis is forced to throw it a bunch more with the Chiefs 12.5-point favorites. That doesn't figure to go well for Willis based on what we saw last week.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday night’s tilt with the Chiefs, HC Mike Vrabel said. Tannehill got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. He’d obviously be operating at far less than 100% if he plays and shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups. But even a hobbled Tannehill would be better than rookie Malik Willis for Tennessee’s chances in Kansas City.
If Derrick Henry's meetings with the Texans were a movie series, they'd all be rated R for violence. The monster back went over 200 rushing yards for the 4th straight time against Houston. He carried 32 times for 219 and 2 TDs in this one, supplying nearly all of the offense with QB Malik Willis filling in for Ryan Tannehill (ankle). Willis attempted only 10 passes, completing 6 for 55 yards. WR Robert Woods was the only Titan to catch more than 1 pass.
