Tennessee Titans
It's shaping up to be a tough second half of the season for the Titans with injuries and inexperienced players on the roster that have the team playing from behind most Sundays. Wide receiver Justin Hunter is one of the lone developing bright spots on the team. After a poor outing that saw him catch just a single pass in Week 7, Hunter managed four receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Though his numbers won't blow anyone away given the shaky quarterback play in Tennessee, Hunter cold be a lone star against a Ravens' pass defense that gives up the third-most fantasy points in the NFL to receivers.
If Hunter can’t get going, the next best bet in the Titans’ offense is Kendall Wright. Wright has four touchdowns on the season and three of them have come over the last four games. Either he or Hunter should be able to get going against the Ravens, and if they don’t, it’s going to be a long afternoon in Baltimore. Wright has been targeted at least eight times in three of the last five games, but whether anybody playing quarterback for the Titans can be accurate enough to turn those targets into touchdowns in Week 10 remains to be seen.
Baltimore Ravens
After surprising the fantasy community earlier in the year, it looks like wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. has fallen back down to earth a little bit. In the last two games he’s been held to fewer than 36 yards receiving and it appears his fellow Smith, Torrey has regained some of his value opposite Steve.That said, the Titans have given up a lot of points to fantasy wide receivers over the last five weeks, so Week 10 could shape up to be a bounce-back game for the elder Smith.
When the Ravens do run the ball they will need to be better on the ground as well. Veteran Justin Forsett has been the most reliable running back the team has the season, though lately he's been on-again and off-again. His fantasy owners have to be hoping that he's able to break through against the Titans as Forsett's yardage totals have steadily declined in each of the last four games. Who knows if coach John Harbaugh has lost any confidence in him at this point. Regardless, Forsett will have to be on his game if the Ravens are to stop the bleeding and stay in contention in their division.
