Fantasy football 2022: Tennessee Titans preview

Knowledge is power and the greatest asset you can acquire in order to compete for a fantasy football championship.

Here's your 2022 preview of the Tennessee Titans, the 12th of 32 team profiles during draft season:

— 2022 Fantasy MVP: Derrick Henry, RB

Henry (ADP: 4) was on pace for 465 carries, 1,991 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns before he suffered a broken foot in Week 8 last season. Tennessee's strategy will remain the same if Henry returns to his previously indestructible ways. His volume will be turned up to 11 — he averaged 29.7 touches per game before his injury — which means he's worthy of consideration with the top overall pick in your draft depending on your league's format.

— 2022 Fantasy Sleeper: Robert Woods, WR

Woods (ADP: 102) is reportedly on track to make his Tennessee debut in Week 1 against the Giants after suffering an ACL tear last November. Woods is the only proven option in a very green receivers room, and I expect a veteran signal-caller like Ryan Tannehill to lean heavily on him early in the season once he proves he's healthy.

— 2022 Fantasy Bust: Treylon Burks, WR

Burks (ADP: 99) is a comparable talent to the wideout he's expected to replace, A.J. Brown, but even Brown took a few months to find his sea legs his rookie season in the Titans' run-first-second-and-third offense.

— 2022 Fantasy Rookie to watch: Malik Willis, QB

Willis (ADP: 291) is just one of many rookies I'm interested in on this roster. I've already mentioned the talented Burks, but there's also receivers Kyle Phillips (ADP: 376) and Reggie Roberson Jr. (ADP: NA), and running back Hassan Haskins (ADP: 203) — a must-have handcuff if you draft Henry. However, I chose Willis because of his potential impact if he sees the field this season. I wrote he was a less-polished version of Jalen Hurts in my NFL Draft analysis and we've already witnessed why in his preseason playing time.
