Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Kyle Philips kicked off his NFL career in 2022 by leading the team in targets (nine) in his debut. However, he has since been either injured or unproductive. Overall, he's hauled in just 23 of his 35 targets for 259 yards in 13 career games. After the additions of wide receivers
Calvin Ridley, Tyler Body, and sixth-round rookie
Jha'Quan Jackson this offseason, Philips finds himself on the roster bubble, according to John Glennon of the Nashville Post. "Philips will head into training camp battling for a roster spot," Glennon wrote. "The 2022 fifth-round pick has to show the quick-separation ability that initially drew the Titans to him, and he'll have to earn his way into opportunities to return punts once again. Rookie
Jha'Quan Jackson, a faster slot receiver with return abilities, will provide stiff competition." Whether Philips makes the roster or not, it would be surprising if he makes a fantasy football impact in 2024.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Kyle Philips and tight end
Trevon Wesco are both healthy scratches for the Week 17 game on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Philips missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury. He's healed up, but the Titans will keep him out regardless. The 24-year-old was also out in Week 13 and returned in Week 14 to play just three offensive snaps in the win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The second-year receiver has mostly been an afterthought in Tennessee's offense this year, catching only 13 of his 19 targets for 166 yards and no touchdowns in eight games played. The Titans will move forward on Sunday with
DeAndre Hopkins,
Treylon Burks and
Chris Moore as their top three wideouts.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Chris Moore (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice, while
Kyle Philips (hamstring) was a full-go. Even with
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand) done for the year, Moore doesn't have a very big role in Tennessee's offense as the No. 3 receiver behind
DeAndre Hopkins and
Treylon Burks. The 30-year-old veteran caught only one pass for a nine-yard gain in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and has just 18 receptions on the year for 362 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets. Philips has missed the last two games due to a hamstring issue but looks primed to return in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. Philips will continue to be well off the fantasy radar in his second NFL season if he plays this weekend. He has 13 catches on 19 targets for 166 yards and no touchdowns in eight games this year.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Kyle Philips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Seattle Seahawks. He had been trending in the right direction ever since missing Wednesday's practice, but evidently it wasn't enough. He'll miss Sunday's game, and so will
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand), who was placed on injured reserve this week. Look for De'Andre Hopkins to remain the Titans' top receiver, ranking as a low-end fantasy WR2.
Treylon Burks will also see increased opportunities but isn't on the redraft radar currently.
