Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham has been an exciting sleeper breakout candidate for several weeks now, but hadn't managed any real explosion. That changed Sunday, as Green-Beckham had a huge game in the Titans' 42-39 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy football waiver wire advice: Dorial Green-Beckham has big coming-out party
The Tennessee rookie had his first career hundred-yard game Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Green-Beckham was targeted six times Sunday, hauling in five of them for 119 yards and a touchdown. It was Green-Beckham's third touchdown, and his most yardage in a game by 42 yards. The next-most receiving yards for a Tennessee wide receiver was 28, by Kendall Wright -- though tight end Delanie Walker did have 92.
Fantasy impact: The only dark mark on Green-Beckham's otherwise-huge day was that one target he didn't haul in, as it was a red-zone target that bounced off of him and into the open arms of the defender, accounting for the only interception of the day for quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Green-Beckham has been stashed in leagues off an on all year, with his current Yahoo! ownership percentage sitting at 14. With Justin Hunter done for the season, and Wright and Harry Douglas both struggling mightily, this coming-out party for Green-Beckham looks like it could have some lasting power. He's worth an add in 12-team or deeper leagues, with an argument to be added in even shallower leagues. The rookie could do well down the stretch.
