Darius Jennings caught one pass in Sunday’s loss to the Bills.

It went for six yards. Jennings mainly contributes as a returner for Tennessee, so he can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Taywan Taylor caught three passes for 30 yards in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo.

Taylor was second on the team with five targets, but he also lost a fumble on a low-volume passing day. The dynamic second-year receiver has the talent to make an impact, but he won’t be a recommended fantasy option as long as he’s not seeing significant playing time (46% of the snaps in Week 5). Keep Taywan on the bench or waiver wire heading into a matchup with the Ravens.

Tajae Sharpe caught three passes for 30 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bills.

Sharpe scored in Week 5, but he’s yet to top 30 yards in a game heading into a difficult matchup with the Ravens. He can stay on the waiver wire.

Corey Davis leads team in receiving as Titans fall to the Bills, 13-12.

Davis caught four passes for 49 yards in the loss. The second-year receiver was targeted a team-high six times, but offense was tough to come by on a day where Marcus Mariota completed just 14 passes for 129 yards. Davis had a career day in Week 4, but this was a step back, and he gets another difficult matchup next Sunday against Baltimore’s dominant cornerback group. Consider him a risky FLEX option.

Dion Lewis handles 15 touches in loss to the Bills.

Lewis rushed 12 times for 34 yards and added three receptions for 14 yards; he also lost a fumble. Derrick Henry (11 carries for 56 yards) was much more effective on his touches, but Tennessee clearly wants this backfield to be an even split so far this season, and it might have cost them in Week 5. Lewis seems to get the better matchup between the two next Sunday when the Ravens come to town, so consider him a decent FLEX option in standard leagues with a boost in PPR formats.

Ito Smith scores in Week 5.

Smith carried three times for five yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for five yards in the loss to the Steelers. The touchdown came by the goal line, as the rookie received the carry over Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Smith has a role in Atlanta’s offense, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups as the team’s third running back.

Derrick Henry handles 11 carries in Week 5 loss.

Henry rushed 11 times for 56 yards and failed to catch one target. Considering the Titans needed all the help they could get in a 13-12 loss—and that Dion Lewis averaged 2.8 yards per carry and lost a fumble on 12 attempts—it was a frustrating day to be a Henry owner, as he could have possibly worn out Buffalo’s front if given 18-20 carries in a defensive battle. With 219 rushing yards and zero touchdowns through five weeks, Henry will be difficult to trust in a difficult matchup against the Ravens in Week 6. Consider him a low-floor FLEX option.
