Rishard Matthews reportedly released by Titans

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, wide receiver Rishard Matthews asked for the Tennessee Titans to release him due to lack of targets. On his own personal Instagram post, Matthews wrote "When Daddy's home for good. That is unless someone calls him to get off the couch," implying that the Titans had granted his wish and released the seventh-year pro. In three games, Matthews played exactly half of the Titans snaps but registered only three catches for 11 yards. (Ian Rapoport via Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
If Matthews is indeed on the open market, he should quickly attract attention from one of several wide receiver-needy teams. Matthews averaged 54 catches for 801 yards and 5.7 touchdowns annually over the past three seasons. He can still be a quality NFL receiver and be fantasy-relevant if he winds up in a solid landing spot.
