Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger will start against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. Quarterback Jake Locker is healthy for this week but he has been demoted to a backup role.
Zach Mettenberger locked in as Titans starter, impacts Justin Hunter, Delanie Walker fantasy potential
Jake Locker is active for Sunday’s game, but is firmly entrenched as the No. 2 quarterback behind Zach Mettenberger. We break down the fantasy implications.

Mettenberger fared well in his first start with 299 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Houston Texans -- a solid pass defense. This week, things get a little easier against the Ravens, who have struggled against the pass. The Ravens are very prone to the deep ball, which has been the best asset of Mettenberger since his days at LSU.
That also bodes well for receiver Justin Hunter, who is more of a fly-route guy than someone who will catch seven or more passes. Today is perhaps the best chance Hunter has for a monster day with a lot of positive news coming out of Tennessee leading into this game. Additionally, receiver Nate Washington could build off his 68-yard game from Week 9 while tight end Delanie Walker is a little riskier.

Fantasy impact: Mettenberger is more of a QB15-20 this week while Hunter is a high-risk, high-reward WR2. He’s obviously not a must-play or anything.
