Team news: Tennessee Titans

Free agent WR Josh Reynolds is signing with the Tennessee Titans.

From a real-world perspective, I like this signing for the Titans, who lost Corey Davis, Adam Humphries and Jonnu Smith in free agency. Reynolds started the season sharing time with rookie Van Jefferson, but took over the WR3 role for the Rams in Week 3, his snaps dipping below 70% just once from Week 3 to Week 12. In that span, he averaged 3.9 catches for 49 yards and 0.22 touchdowns on 6.3 targets per game, which is a 62-794-3.5 pace (on 101 targets). Per PFF, his yards per route run (YPRR) has been remarkably consistent over the last three seasons, never higher than 1.26 YPRR and never lower than 1.23 YPRR. For reference, Davis posted 1.48 YPRR in 2019 before his breakout season (2.58 YPRR) last year. With OC Arthur Smith moving on to lead the Falcons, it remains to be seen if the Titans stay as run-heavy under new OC Todd Downing as they have been, but Derrick Henry's presence on the roster is a strong indicator that they will. Reynolds could post Davis-type numbers (65-984-5) if he sees 100+ targets. (Davis saw 92 targets in 2020.)

#Titans have re-signed TE Geoff Swaim to a 1-year deal.

The 27-year old will most likely play behind Anthony Firkser, since Jonnu Smith is now in a Patriots' uniform. Geoff Swaim had a mini breakout in 2018 in Dallas, but is mostly used as a blocking TE.

Titans activate Stephen Gostkowski from reserve-COVID-19 list, placed Aaron Brewer on reserve-COVID-19 list

Kicker truthers can rejoice, as Stephen Gostkowski is back and available for fantasy playoff action.

Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been placed on the league’s COVID-19 reserve list.

Related players: Josh Reynolds, Van Jefferson

Players are placed on COVID-19 reserve if they test positive or if they have close contact with someone who tested positive. It is unknown whether Kupp tested positive or is classified as a close contact. Kupp is the Rams’ leader this season with 92 catches and 974 yards. If he can’t be activated in time for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals, that would be a major blow to the Rams’ hopes, the story went on to say. It could mean Reynolds and Jefferson see more snaps and action, but with Jared Goff out, the passing game is likely going to be limited for the Rams.
