Cameron Batson catches one pass against the Chargers.

Batson had zero yards on his lone reception in Week 7. His role on offense isn’t big enough to deliver fantasy value right now.

Mike Williams scores 55-yard touchdown in win over the Titans.

It was the Clemson product’s only reception of the game, but he also rushed once for three yards. Williams was able to get loose on the first possession of the third quarter in an eventual 20-19 victory, but he wasn’t able to haul in a target in the red zone that went off his hands. The emergence of Tyrell Williams hasn’t been a positive for those with stock in Mike, but the Chargers are good enough that both remain solid FLEX plays. Williams also got a little banged up with what appeared to be a back injury, so hopefully the bye week allows him to rest up before a matchup against the Seahawks.

Taywan Taylor catches one pass in Week 7.

Taylor’s lone reception against the Chargers went for eight yards. Taylor had a big drop on a pass deep over the middle on an in-breaking route, and it would’ve been a first down at the very least (and maybe more with Taylor’s speed). Fellow second-year receiver Corey Davis also struggled, so the Titans will look for their young guys to step up in Week 9 against the Cowboys after their bye.

Corey Davis struggles against the Chargers.

Davis couldn’t get much going against Casey Hayward and company, catching three passes (on seven targets, second on the team) for ten yards. The second-year receiver had a big drop on a would-be first down (and potentially more) in the second half. Last year’s fifth overall pick hasn’t shown enough consistency to be a highly-recommended fantasy option, but he’ll be on the FLEX radar when the Titans return from their bye to face the Cowboys in Week 9.

Keenan Allen caught five passes for 72 yards in Sunday’s win over the Titans.

Allen hauled in all five of his looks by Philip Rivers, but he consistently saw double teams on underneath routes on a day that the Chargers were mostly held in check besides a couple deep touchdowns. He also got open but wasn’t targeted in a failed red-zone trip, which caused him to show some frustration; however, it shouldn’t lead to much as he and Philip Rivers calmly talked it out, and Allen will be a no-doubt WR1 when Los Angeles returns from the bye week to face Seattle.

Jonnu Smith catches two passes against the Chargers.

Smith gained 11 yards on his two receptions (three targets) in the Week 7 loss. The second-year tight end hasn’t put up big numbers with Delaine Walker out, so he’s not a recommended fantasy option yet.

Luke Stocker scores in Titans’ loss.

Stocker caught big touchdown to put the Titans within one point with a chance at a go-ahead two-point conversion with under a minute to go against the Chargers. Overall, Stocker had two receptions for 11 yards in the Week 7 loss. He’s not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.
