Fantasy Impact: There was no chance of Locker coming back on the short week, so the Titans are eyeing Week 7 against the Bills for his return. Against the Vikings in Week 5, Hasselbeck completed 60.5% of his passes for 200 yards, one TD and a pick. He now has three TDs and three INTs in relief of Locker. His fantasy value remains low, as the veteran is clearly in the twilight of his career. I don't recommend starting him against the Steelers defense this week.
