Fantasy Impact: Locker didn't play against the Indianapolis Colts last week and the team got smoked with Charlie Whitehurst under center. While Locker won't instantly turn the Titans into an offensive juggernaut, the team definitely needs him in the lineup in Week 5.
Locker and the Titans play the Cleveland Browns next, a team that is good at limiting fantasy production at the quarterback position. He'll have to look to the likes of Delanie Walker and Kendall Wright in the passing game, and since it looks like his hand is ready to go, he could be a decent option in deeper leagues.
Fantasy owners in deeper leagues probably can’t wait to get Locker back in the lineup, but in 10-team leagues, there may be better options available.
