Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 2
By Nick Villano
4. Julio Jones and A.J. Brown will have big days
The Tennessee Titans offense faltered on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. The team struggled in every aspect of the game, and Mike Vrabel’s team came out completely flat. Good teams have done this before in Week 1 and they came out in Week 2 with guns blazing.
The Titans made a splash this offseason when they traded for Julio Jones. The wide receiver gave them a dynamic duo with A.J. Brown to pair with Derrick Henry. Nobody had a good week last week, and the Titans need to show that there’s nothing actually wrong with this offense. There is too much skill to be actually worried about, so it should be a one-week issue.
The Titans are taking on a Seattle Seahawks secondary that has allowed big passing days in the past. Zach Pascal had a big day last week against the Seahawks. Expect the Titans, who have much better receivers than the Colts, to drive the ball even better.
Ryan Tannehill has these games sometimes, but it’s rare that he puts up two stinkers in a row. Last season, he never had a QB rating less than 100 for two games in a row. Obviously, QB Rating isn’t the end all be all, but it’s an interesting fact for fantasy. Tannahill will find both his star receivers early and often, and this will be a monstrous game. If you are a bettor, take the over on this game.
