Jake Locker misses practice Wednesday, health struggles continue for fantasy owners
The Titans’ starting quarterback continues to have trouble staying healthy this season. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: It looks like Charlie Whitehurst will make his second start of the season in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in place of Locker. It's unfortunate for Locker's fantasy owners because he is a talented passer, albeit on a struggling team.
With the Titans at 1-4 and the Jaguars and Washington coming up in back-to-back games on the schedule, the team definitely wants Locker in the lineup to see if the season can be salvaged. However, it seems practice reports on Thursday and Friday will lend more of a definitive answer on Locker’s status for this week.
Fantasy owners should hold off on starting Locker for now and see what upcoming reports say, but for now, it looks like picking up another quarterback is going to be a better option in Week 6.
