Titans Beat: WR Corey Davis could awaken offense

Oct 24, 2017

The Tennessee Titans have plenty of offensive adjustments to make during the bye week, but the most significant one could be the return of rookie receiver Corey Davis.

The Titans' fifth overall pick has been a key missing cog over the five weeks as he sat with a hamstring injury. All signs point to him coming back Week 9 vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Titans coach Mike Mularkey got perky while discussing his return, saying Davis will make "a big difference."

"He did some really good things in his one game, with no prior game experience," Mularkey said speaking to Davis' six catches for 69 yards in his lone full NFL game. "We should be better if we can get him back."

Fantasy Impact:

Davis is a popular name in regard to a roster stash until he's up to speed. The story went on to say Davis needs to be the starter opposite Matthews, and that the return of Davis shouldn't mean a demotion for Taylor, the team's best deep threat.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
