As he enters his third season with the Tennessee Titans, Anthony Firkser is set for a much bigger role this year.

Firkser, who had 39 receptions a year ago in a role mostly as a third-down option, is expected to become the Titans’ primary receiving tight end with the departure of Jonnu Smith to New England as a free agent.

According to a lot of reports, Firkser has had a great offseason. While he should see an increase in targets, the addition of Julio Jones keeps Firkser's ranking in check as he sits at 21st on our list. The story said Firkser is not to be overlooked in the offense, though, and he should benefit greatly from favorable matchups and should build on last year’s production with increased playing time. He'll be available later in drafts.

Titans TE Jonnu Smith will not play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, according to Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com.

Smith is expected to be considered questionable for Sunday’s game against the Steelers, per source. If Smith can't go, Firkser could be an option, especially after a monster game (8-113-1) filling in for Smith this past week.
