Calvin Ridley is Considered Questionable for Week 7
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Ridley was limited in practice to start the week, but then he didn't practice at all on Thursday or Friday. When healthy, Ridley has been a non-factor in this offense so far. Through six games, Ridley has recorded five receptions with 81 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. The absence of the 31-year-old wideout would likely mean that Elic Ayomanor would slide into the No. 3 wideout role. Neither player has done enough this season to warrant starting in any fantasy lineups in Week 7.

Rookie Carnell Tate is the Clear No. 1 Option for Titans
Rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate leads the Tennessee Titans in targets (44), receptions (29) and receiving yards (344) in the passing game, and he has scored one touchdown. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft recorded six receptions (on seven targets) for 70 yards (11.7 yards per catch) and his first-career touchdown in a 26-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6. The win was the first of the year for the Titans. Tate is beginning to ascend as he gets more comfortable in his first year in the NFL, and he is operating as the clear No. 1 option for quarterback Cam Ward in the passing game. Tate has a Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns and ranks as RotoBaller's No. 27 wideout. He can safely be placed into your fantasy football lineups.

Titans Player Released After Altercation with Teammate
Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jordan Elliott was released Tuesday following a reported firearm-related incident involving offensive tackle JC Latham at practice on Oct. 15. According to reporting from Easton Freeze and Aaron Wilson, Elliott got into an altercation with Latham and was told to leave the practice field. He reportedly removed his pads and went to the players' parking area to get a gun from his vehicle before veteran defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers stepped in and defused the situation. Sources indicated that security cameras captured the sequence of events, and no one was injured. The Titans confirmed Elliott's release following an internal review but declined to publicly disclose details of the incident. Elliott signed a two-year, $8 million contract with Tennessee this offseason and recorded 11 tackles in five appearances before sitting out Sunday's victory over Indianapolis. Metro Nashville Police reported that no complaint had been filed regarding the incident.

Tyjae Spears Only Stash-Worthy in Deep PPR Leagues
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears opened some eyes in the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans when he caught a season-high nine passes (on nine targets) for 28 yards. Spears added two carries for no gain in the 26-3 loss. Fantasy managers who added the 25-year-old pass-catching back in point-per-reception leagues were thoroughly disappointed in his follow-up showing in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, when Spears had just one carry for one yard and one catch for seven yards. Outside of his nine-catch game in Week 5, Spears has not had more than two receptions so far this year, and he has had more than three rushing attempts just one time through the first six weeks. Spears has a grand total of 66 rushing yards on 18 carries while adding 15 receptions on 17 targets for 75 yards as a pass-catcher. In a Titans offense that has been among the worst in the league so far, Spears has minimal fantasy football value reserved for deep PPR leagues or as a handcuff to Tony Pollard. He is only rostered in 22% of Yahoo leagues, with many managers dumping him back onto the waiver wire this week.

Carnell Tate is Beginning to Find his Groove
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate found the end zone for the first time during his career on Sunday. The rookie wideout scored an eight-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter during Sunday's victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Tate hauled in six of his seven targets for 70 yards and a score in the dub. It's quite incredible that quarterback Cam Ward threw for only 102 yards, and Tate was 70 of the yards. Tate posted a dud in Week 5, but he has been a solid option in three of the last four games. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7.

Tyjae Spears Active for Week 6 Against Colts
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee), who was listed as questionable to play on Sunday, is officially active for the Week 6 divisional clash against the Indianapolis Colts, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. The writing was on the wall for Spears to play this weekend after he was able to practice in full on Friday. The 25-year-old is Tennessee's primary pass-catching back, and he drew some waiver-wire consideration going into this week's game after catching a season-high nine passes for 28 yards in the 26-3 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans last Sunday. Spears only ran the ball twice for the second week in a row and did not gain any yards on the ground. He has just 17 carries for 65 yards (3.8 yards per attempt) on the ground through five games this year, but Spears still maintains deep-league flex appeal in point-per-reception fantasy leagues. Now that he is officially active, Spears will be a PPR sleeper against an Indy defense that has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR fantasy points to opposing RBs.

Wan'Dale Robinson an Excellent Play Off Waivers
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has been productive recently and will look to continue that trend on the road against the Indianapolis Colts. Robinson's 2026 numbers won't jump off the page, but he's still provided value, even in the league's worst scoring offense. Aside from a one-catch dud in Week 2, the fifth-year pro has been solid, collecting at least five targets in all but one appearance and five or more receptions in three. Robinson's outlook also improves in Week 6 with a tantalizing matchup against a sieve-like Colts pass defense. Over six weeks, Indianapolis ranks fifth in passing yards allowed per game (254) and sixth in points allowed per game (27.6). A sub-optimal offensive line and erratic play from quarterback Cam Ward work against him, but the Kentucky native is well-positioned to produce ahead of the divisional clash.

Elic Ayomanor Still a Touchdown-Dependent Deep Threat
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor should still have limited volume in a Week 6 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year receiver has exclusively been a deep threat so far this season, with his best fantasy game coming in Week 2, when he put up 69 yards on just two catches against the Philadelphia Eagles. He did score an 11-yard touchdown in Week 1 as well, but in the last three weeks he has just three catches and 50 yards. Being in an abysmal offense (last in the league in points per game) drastically limits the upside of a player like Ayomanor. He is also clearly behind Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson in the receiver pecking order, making Ayomanor difficult to trust in fantasy lineups any time soon. Despite a great Week 6 matchup with the Colts, Ayomanor should remain on waivers or at least on benches in deep leagues.

Gunnar Helm a Bench Stash Against Colts
Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm is a clear bench option in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. The young tight end started the season as a solid short-passing option, but in the last two weeks, he has just one catch on two targets. It seems that quarterback Cam Ward has been looking elsewhere, making it hard for fantasy managers to expect Helm to take advantage of the 23rd-ranked defense in fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Helm could become a solid fantasy option sometime in the near future, but for now, he is more of a dynasty option than a redraft option. Unless Ward shows signs of improvement and the offense manages to score more in coming games, Helm should remain out of fantasy lineups. Despite a great matchup, Helm should not be in fantasy starting lineups in Week 6.

Wan'Dale Robinson Remains a PPR Flex Option against Colts
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has always been a much bigger fantasy threat in PPR leagues, which should continue in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. Robinson has never been a big-play guy and has also never been in a high-scoring offense, which limits his upside. However, after one reception in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the former Giant has 16 receptions combined. Unless Carnell Tate dominates target share as he did in Week 2, it is reasonable to expect another performance similar to Robinson's six-catch, 53-yard outing last week against the Houston Texans. Robinson does have two touchdowns on the season, but in his previous four career seasons he amassed just 10 total touchdowns. Robinson doesn't offer much upside, but he does have a solid floor, especially in PPR leagues, in a great Week 6 matchup.

Carnell Tate a High-End Flex with Boosted PPR Value in Week 6
Tennessee Titans rookie first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate serves as an intriguing flex option in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts defense ranks 18th against wide receivers in fantasy and overall has struggled defensively to start the year. That means the Titans have a chance to improve their abysmal 11.6 points per game this week. Tate should be the primary focus of the Titans' offense, but given their offensive struggles so far, it's hard to expect the first-round rookie to find the end zone. Until the offense shows improvement, Tate will always be more valuable in PPR leagues due to his potential volume. Tate showed his potential in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens when he put up nine receptions and 145 yards. Fantasy managers have reason to expect another boom performance in Week 6, making Tate an upside Flex play in Week 6.

Tyjae Spears a Reasonable Flex in PPR Leagues If Active
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) looks likely to retain his role as backup RB and passing-game specialist in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts if he is active. Spears is listed as questionable to play this weekend. The Colts rank 28th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, meaning despite his backup role, Spears could provide some fantasy value this week. Week 2 is the only week the young back amassed more than three carries, but he did muster up a whopping nine receptions in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Spears's value is almost exclusively as a pass-catching back, and given his heavy involvement last week, it will be interesting to see this week if that was the start of a new trend or just an anomaly. However, until he is more involved as a rusher or if Tony Pollard trade rumors come to fruition, Spears shouldn't be considered much beyond PPR leagues. Fantasy managers should view Spears as a deep-league Flex in Week 6.

Tony Pollard a Low-Upside RB2 in Week 6
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard is a reasonable starting flex in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't practice on Wednesday but practiced fully on Thursday and Friday. The veteran back doesn't have much of a ceiling due to being in a lackluster offense and limited involvement in the passing game, but has proven capable of producing solid fantasy numbers given his rushing volume. He has at least 14 rushing attempts in each of the last four games. The Colts rank 28th against running backs in fantasy, meaning Pollard should make good use of his volume in what could even be a winnable game and a positive game script for the Titans. With Tyjae Spears looking likely to return to the field, it is even less likely Pollard will be involved in the passing game. Pollard serves as a decent floor, low-ceiling RB2 in a Week with plenty of injuries and important players on bye.

Cam Ward a Risky Start Despite Plus Matchup in Week 6
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward has a great matchup in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. However, beyond a two-rushing-touchdown outing in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Ward has not earned the trust of fantasy managers. That means he serves as a low-end QB2 in Superflex leagues at best against the 27th-ranked defense against quarterbacks in fantasy. Until the young QB shows more promise, it will be hard to trust him in fantasy in any upcoming matchup. The Titans are among the worst teams in the NFL so far this season, and their lackluster offense is the main reason. He does have decent weapons in rookie Carnell Tate and slot specialist Wan'Dale Robinson, but the offense has a dreadful 11.6 points per game through five weeks. Until the offense as a whole shows signs of life, Ward should not be in fantasy starting lineups unless necessary.

Carnell Tate Goes Quiet as Titans' Passing Game Stalls
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate experienced a sharp drop in production in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans, managing just one reception for six yards on five targets. The disappointing outing came one week after the fourth overall pick caught nine of 12 targets for a career-high 145 yards against Baltimore. Tate also saw his offensive snap share fall from 84% to 76%, although he still led Tennessee's receivers with 48 snaps against Houston. The rookie dealt with back tightness during the week and was questionable entering the contest, but there's no confirmation that the issue contributed to his struggles. Quarterback Cam Ward threw for just 170 yards and an interception, continuing a difficult start for an offense that has scored only 58 points through five games. Tate still leads NFL rookies with 23 receptions and has drawn 37 targets, so his overall involvement remains promising. However, the lack of touchdowns and Tennessee's inconsistent passing attack make him difficult to trust as a weekly starter. He's worth holding in PPR leagues but should be considered a volatile WR3 or flex option until the offense demonstrates greater consistency.
