Jake Locker has officially been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts as he deals with a wrist injury. As a result, Charlie Whitehurst will see his fifth career start after entering his ninth season in the league.
Jake Locker officially inactive, Titans offense is foggy for fantasy owners
Jake Locker is out. Charlie Whitehurst is in. There are a lot of questions in the world of fantasy football.

Fantasy impact: There's a lot to digest here. It's hard to know who Whitehurst will lean on within the Tennessee offense on Sunday. As a result, Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter and Delanie Walker become more boom-or-bust prospects in fantasy. Walker may be the safer option of the three. Whitehurst would be wise to rely on the 250-pound tight end for easier completions. However, he may have to look deep for Hunter if the game gets away from the Titans on the scoreboard, which is a likely scenario. With six teams on bye weeks, owners may have to stick with Titans players on their rosters, but Wright and Hunter shouldn't be trusted to perform beyond WR3-caliber numbers.
