Mike Munchak made the decision this week to name Jake Locker as the Titans starting quarterback for the 2012 season. Locker did not disappoint in the game immediately following that news, as he threw for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 11 of 20 passing.
Jake Locker Looks Ready To Lead Titans: Fantasy Implications
Tennessee’s new starting quarterback looked sharp at home against Arizona in the third week of preseason. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Less than four minutes into Thursday night's game against the Cardinals, Locker threw a back shoulder pass to Kendall Wright on the money for a touchdown. It was an impressive start to the night, and his performance only went up from there. Sure, Locker still has his share of issues to work on. He releases the ball too early from time to time leading to some of those floating passes, but fantasy owners aren't affected by completion percentage. Locker already appears to be in rhythm with several receivers, and given his overall athletic ability, he makes for a potentially valuable player down the stretch this season.
