Tyrell Williams stays hot in win over the Titans.

Williams caught four passes for 118 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown on the team’s opening drive. The veteran simply ran a go route down the left sideline, and a shoulder fake by Philip Rivers caused cornerback Logan Ryan to bite and Williams to get deep. Tyrell will be a quality FLEX option when Los Angeles returns from their Week 8 bye to face the Seahawks.

Tajae Sharpe leads the Titans in Week 7 receiving.

Sharpe was by far the Titans’ best receiver against the Chargers, as he got open and showed reliably hands throughout the game. Sharpe caught seven-of-nine targets for 101 yards. This was Sharpe’s best game of the season, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option quite yet.

Justin Jackson handles three touches in Week 7 victory.

Jackson rushed twice for three yards and caught an 11-yard pass. The rookie’s lone target was a caught-from-behind tackle away from going all the way on a misdirection screen pass, but Los Angeles was able to hold on in a close London matchup. Jackson won’t be a recommended fantasy option coming out of the Week 8 bye.

David Fluellen gets one carry against the Chargers.

Fluellen gained two yards on his one attempt, getting the carry with the Titans backed near their own goal line. With Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis both locked in as Tennessee’s top running backs, Fluellen is not on the fantasy radar right now.

Derrick Henry scores first touchdown of the season in Week 7.

Henry finally got in the end zone this year, punching it in at the goal line against the Chargers in London. Overall, Henry had 12 carries for 33 yards and one touchdown along with two receptions (on two targets) for 32 yards. Both receptions came out outlet passes that Henry took up the field for chunk gains of 21 and 11, and ideally the Titans will start using him more there. Dion Lewis received 19 touches (13 carries) in the loss, handling a lot of the fourth-quarter work despite Henry dominating late in games through his career. Expect Henry to again split the workload evenly when the Titans next play in Week 9 against the Cowboys.

Austin Ekeler handles 17 touches in win over the Titans.

Drawing the start for Melvin Gordon (hamstring), Ekeler rushed 12 times for 42 yards and caught five passes for 26 yards. It certainly wasn’t the production that fantasy owners were hoping for with Ekeler handling a featured role, but he led the team with seven targets, which boosted him in PPR formats. The 23-year-old should revert back to a change-of-pace role when Los Angeles returns from their Week 8 bye to face the Seahawks.

Dion Lewis plays well in Titans’ loss.

Lewis received 19 touches against the Chargers in London, carrying 13 times for 91 yards and adding six receptions for 64 yards. The elusive running back came up huge on a touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter, powering through LA’s defense for a 36-yard run. On that same drive, Lewis appeared open in the flat for a potential touchdown, but the Titans scored anyway on the next play after a penalty. Derrick Henry had 14 touches (12 carries) with a goal-line touchdown in the loss, as the two continue to split work pretty evenly in the backfield. Lewis faces the Cowboys when the Titans return from their Week 8 bye.
