Tennessee Titans running back Bishop Sankey is going to get more reps against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5 than he has since the start of the season, according to John Glennon of The Tennessean. Sankey has 123 rushing yards and one touchdown on 24 attempts this season.
Bishop Sankey to see more reps, fantasy value increasing
The Titans’ rookie running back is inching closer to feature-back status in Tennessee. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: It sounds like coach Ken Wisenhunt and the Titans' brass have finally realized that going with Shonn Greene and Dexter McCluster just isn't going to get the job done on the ground. The team has struggled defensively all season, as well, which has forced the Titans to play from behind a lot and pass the ball more than they probably wants to.
While Sankey is sure to have his share of ups and downs as a rookie, there really is no other rusher in Tennessee that will remotely challenge him for playing time as long as he keeps doing what he’s doing, which makes him a must-add running back in deeper leagues.
Fantasy owners should definitely grab Sankey now, particularly in leagues where starting running backs are scarce.
