Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Well what have we here? There wasn't much hype for Will Levis going into his NFL regular season debut, but he dazzled on Sunday by lighting up a solid Falcons defense for 238 yards and four touchdowns on 29 pass attempts. Levis showed instant chemistry with DeAndre Hopkins, connecting with the veteran receiver for 128 yards and three touchdowns on six targets. Levis displayed good accuracy and arm strength, and also demonstrated a willingness to throw downfield that has been sorely lacking in Tennessee the last two seasons. Ryan Tannehill is still recovering from his ankle issue, which lines Levis up for another start on Thursday against a Pittsburgh defense that has been mediocre against opposing passing games this year. If Levis shows out again on Thursday, it will be exceedingly difficult for the Titans to turn back to Tannehill and could boost the prospects of the Tennessee skill players in fantasy. Levis is still only a QB2 in terms of his own fantasy projections, but his debut was exciting and makes Thursday's game much more fun.
