Fantasy Football Player Notes

Despite leading the NFL in rushing back to back seasons (a feat accomplished just twice in the last 20 years), Derrick Henry still doesn't get enough credit. While he'll never have the PPR upside of CMC or Dalvin Cook, Henry has two straight seasons of 300+ carries, 16+ TDs. Many are concerned with henry's workload catching up with him, but he's a physical freak of nature and was used sparingly his first two years in the NFL. He's worthy of top 3 overall consideration in all formats, even with low reception totals.

2020 was a roller coaster for the Titans and QB Ryan Tannehill. The fact he finished as a QB1 (8) times and a QB2 (8) times says it all. He finished with 3.8K yards, 33 passing TDs, and seven rushing TDs. Ideally, you want Tannehill as your second QB in a Superflex format. That bonus upside he brings some weeks can be huge. However, as your starting quarterback in a single QB format, the inconsistencies could hurt you some weeks. The Titans lost Corey Davis and Jonnu Smith to free agency, but added Julio Jones in June to create one of the more formidable WR corps in the NFL. Tannehill has established himself as a fantasy-worthy QB, it's just that no one seems to give him his due. The Jones addition will raise that profile, but overpaying for Tannehill isn't advisable either. He's a lower end QB1, but still underappreciated.

Now that Julio Jones is in town, Anthony Firkser is relegated to a few targets per game at best. Although he may have a few above average games throughout the year, he's just a streaming TE for bye weeks in your basic 12 team league.
