2026 Team Outlook: Tennessee Titans

27. PK Joey Slye, TEN - Deep-league Only

Over his career, Slye made 35 of his 55 kicks from 50 yards or more, highlighted by his success and opportunity in 2025 (9-for-14). He’s made 81.4% of his 215 career field goals with 10 missed extra points across 209 attempts. The Titans scored 28 touchdowns last season while creating only 36 field goal attempts. Fantasy Outlook: Slye is a waiver-wire kicker who has the length to offer winning days. He will be found in the free agent pool in all fantasy leagues until Tennessee packs more offensive punch.

28. QB Cam Ward, TEN - Bye Week Fill-in

Ward's path to the top of the 2025 NFL Draft was anything but conventional. He began at the University of the Incarnate Word (Division I), where he went 10-3 in 2021, completing 384 of 590 passes for 4,648 yards, 47 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions over two seasons before earning a Power Five opportunity. At Washington State, Ward showed he could handle a bigger stage, though his supporting cast and protection were inconsistent. He absorbed 46 sacks in his time with the Cougars, and his rushing numbers were more a product of scrambling than design (227 carries, 202 yards, and 13 touchdowns, 0.9 YPC). His game took a significant leap when Ward transferred to Miami. With the Hurricanes, he completed 66% of his passes, cut his sack total to 22, and in 2024 threw for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions at an impressive 9.5 yards per attempt. His rushing became more purposeful as well (60 carries for 204 yards and four touchdowns at 3.4 YPC). Across all three college stops, Ward completed 66.0% of 1,436 attempts for 11,281 yards, 87 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions in 38 games. As a prospect, his tools are easy to see. Ward processes the field quickly before and after the snap, gets the ball out fast, and isn't afraid

to take his shot downfield when he has a matchup. His arm is NFL- ready, and his feel for where he wants to go with the football pre-snap suggests a natural quarterback mind. He's comfortable in the shotgun, can extend plays with his feet, and is capable of breaking through arm tackles when needed. His questions are real. Ward's accuracy moving left and throwing off- platform will be tested far more in the pros, where defenses are designed to take away his first read and compress throwing windows. He'll be working behind a less reliable offensive line and without the caliber of receivers he had in college. Red zone efficiency is another area to watch. Ward needs to be a more consistent touchdown finisher inside the 20 as a passer. He can move the chains with his legs, but his future is as a throw-first quarterback, and the next level will demand he prove it in the most difficult situations. The best trait Ward showed in his rookie season was limiting the damage in interceptions (7) for a team that gave him a short passing window. At the same time, pass rushers force him into 11 fumbles (seven lost). Over his first 12 games, Ward never passed for more than one touchdown in a game or threw for more than 260 yards. He chipped in with 28 rushes for 123 yards and one score. From Week 14 to Week 17, Ward delivered two touchdowns in each matchup. His season ended in Week 18 after five snaps due to a right shoulder issue. Fantasy Outlook: In the offseason, the Titans addressed their receiving issues by drafting Carnell Tate in the first round and signing Wan'Dale Robinson. Tennessee lacks a winning pass-catching option at tight end, suggesting a more ball-controlled offense until its receiving corps develops. Ward ranks 22nd at quarterback in mid-June in the National Fantasy Football Championship despite a long road to fantasy relevance. His

completion rate (59.8%), yards per pass attempt (5.9), and passing window spell free agent pool until he proves his worth on the field.

33. RB Tony Pollard, TEN - Quality Backup

Pollard flashed his ceiling during a two-game midseason starting opportunity in Dallas in 2022, delivering back-to-back standout performances (14/131/3 and 22/115/1) with four catches for 29 yards. The Cowboys expanded his role over the following six weeks (83 carries for 367 yards and three touchdowns with 24 catches for 237 yards and three more scores), before ankle and leg injuries slowed him down the stretch, limiting him to 28 carries for 118 yards and five catches for 23 yards over his final three games. He still finished ninth among running 78 0.229 470 0.15 6.03 93 0 Tennessee Titans

backs in PPR scoring (248.80 points) despite averaging just 14.5 touches per game. Given the lead role in 2023, Pollard saw 307 touches but took a step back across the board. His yards per carry dropped from 5.2 to 4.0, yards per catch fell from 9.5 to 5.7, and touchdowns plummeted from 12 to 6, all while gaining fewer total yards (1,316) than the year before despite 75 additional opportunities. He topped 100 rushing yards just once all season (23/122 in Week 3) and eclipsed 20.00 fantasy points only three times. He finished 14th in running back scoring at 223.70 points. His first season with Tennessee brought more of the same. Pollard handled 301 touches and played 64.1% of the Titans' snaps, finishing with 1,307 combined yards, five touchdowns, and 41 catches, but slipped to 21st in running back scoring (203.20). He cracked 100 rushing yards twice (28/120 and 21/102) and landed between 18.00 and 22.00 fantasy points five times. The volume is there; the explosiveness that made him dangerous in Dallas largely hasn't followed. Pollard comes off his fourth consecutive year with over 1,000 rushing yards (242/1,082/5) while upping his yards per carry (4.5). He finished with a five-year low in catches (33) and receiving yards (206). His stat led to the 23rd ranking in PPR fantasy points (188.80) at the running back position. His only impact showing came in Week 14 (25/161/2), followed by his other two games with over 100 yards rushing (14/104/1 with one catch and eight yards, and 21/102). Tennessee gave him 98 touches over his final five starts (14.8 over his first 12 matchups). Fantasy Outlook: Pollard brings a competitive RB2 resume, but he loses pass-catching chances to Tyjae Spears, and Tennessee upgraded its RB3 by drafting Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. In mid-June, Pollard is the 31st-ranked running back in the National Fantasy Football Championship. I would expect a pullback

to 250 touches this year, with no momentum expected in catches or touchdowns. I view him as only a steady rotational third fantasy running back, with just as much downside and upside.

37. WR Wan'Dale Robinson, TEN - Sleeper (undervalued)

Robinson entered 2022 with plenty of buzz in the high-stakes fantasy market, projected as a high-volume slot receiver, but those hopes were derailed immediately. A knee injury in Week 1 (1/5) cost him four games, and just as he was finding his rhythm with productive outings in Weeks 6 (3/37/1), 7 (6/50), and 11 (9/100), a torn ACL in November ended his season entirely. It was a tough blow for a player the Giants had invested in heavily, drafting him in the second round after a breakout college career at Kentucky. Over 31 games, Robinson caught 195 of 272 targets (71.3%

catch rate) for 2,248 yards and 10 touchdowns, including a career year of 104 catches for 1,445 yards and seven scores. The Wildcats also used him as a rusher (141 carries, 691 yards, and four TDs), adding another dimension to his profile. Robinson returned in 2023, missing the first two games while still recovering. Once New York gave him a starting role in Week 4, he settled in nicely (56 catches for 591 yards and 2 touchdowns on 73 targets over 14 games), with a five-reception floor in six matchups and five double-digit fantasy performances. 2024 brought career highs across the board (93 catches, 699 yards, and 140 targets), but the touchdowns haven't come in New York. Robinson has scored just five times in 38 games as a Giant, and the Giants' tendency to deploy him close to the line of scrimmage (7.5 yards per catch) keeps a ceiling on his big-play potential. He topped double digits in fantasy points nine times, a useful but unspectacular output for a player with his target volume. Last season, Robinson arrived in the NFL, highlighted by a jump in his yards per catch (11.0) with 14 passes gaining at least 20 yards. He finished with almost the same opportunity in catches (92) and targets (140) while setting career highs in receiving yards (1,014) and touchdowns (4). His success led to the 14th ranking in PPR fantasy points (217.90), thanks to four highlight games (8/142/1, 6/84/1, 9/156/1, and 11/113). The Giants gave Robinson double-digit targets in seven of his 16 starts. Fantasy Outlook: Despite his success in 2025, Robinson ranks 48th in the early draft season in the National Fantasy Football Championship, which should put a shine on his name in drafts. He profiles as a 5/50 player with low value in touchdowns. The change to the Titans' offense will have speed bumps, resulting in a step back in value from last year. Robinson seems to be priced right in May.

39. RB Nicholas Singleton, TEN - Super Sleeper (high risk/potential)

Singleton arrives in the NFL with four polished seasons at Penn State behind him. He announced himself as a freshman with 1,146 combined yards, 13 touchdowns, and 11 catches, then peaked two years later with 1,474 combined yards, 17 touchdowns, and 41 catches on 213 touches. His final college season saw a dip in production (123 carries for 549 yards and 13 touchdowns with 24 catches for 219 yards), though his touchdown rate stayed strong. For his career, he averaged an impressive 9.7 yards per catch and scored 54 touchdowns across 53 games. His NFL profile is intriguing. At 6'0" and 220 pounds with a 4.35 forty, Singleton has the size-speed combination that teams covet in a modern backfield piece. He's a capable pass protector and a legitimate threat on passing downs, giving him a high floor regardless of his role. The one area that could unlock another level is patience, learning to trust his blockers and set up cutback lanes rather than attacking too quickly. It's a refinement issue more than a fundamental flaw, and one that coaching can address. Fantasy Outlook: A broken foot in January kept him out of the 2026 NFL Combine, which may have temporarily suppressed his draft stock. Tennessee drafted him in the fifth round, which shows the lack of

interest in him by the other NFL teams. Singleton can't be dismissed as a high-upside RB3 if given a starting opportunity. He falls into the deep sleeper category (ADP of 172 in the NFFC) in drafts this summer, with the talent to beat expectations by a wide margin.

43. WR Carnell Tate, TEN - Sleeper (undervalued)

Ohio State has become a pipeline for NFL-ready wide receivers, and Tate is the latest product of that system. Over his final two college seasons, he caught 103 passes for 1,608 yards and 13 touchdowns, averaging 15.5 yards per reception throughout his career. Year WRC SPT WYD YD% YC TGT TD 2025 157 0.462 1821 0.56 11.60 296 9 2024 164 0.488 2280 0.63 13.90 282 14 2023 161 0.535 2272 0.65 14.11 271 10 Tennessee Titans

What stands out on tape is his fluidity. Tate runs clean, rhythmic routes and is comfortable working underneath to move the chains, a skill that translates quickly to the pro game. He's more of a size receiver (6'2", 190 lbs.) than a speed wideout (4.53 forty), but his hands and route timing more than compensate. He wins at the catch point, holds on in traffic, and has the body control to get his feet down at the sideline or the back of the end zone. His one area that needs work is his release against physical, press-man corners. Bigger defenders at the line can disrupt his timing if Tate doesn't develop a more varied release package. As the field compresses in the red zone and on third down, his value should naturally rise. Fantasy Outlook: Tennessee swooped in and snatched up Tate with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He instantly upgrades their passing game, but there will be a learning curve. The high-stakes market views him as a mid-tier WR3 (ranked 29th in June) in the early draft season, requiring him to score about 180.00 PPR fantasy points to reach par. Based on this, Tate must deliver a season in the range of 70 catches for 800 yards and about five touchdowns. Last year, no wide receiver caught more than 50 balls for the Titans.
