Bishop Sankey rushed for 34 yards on six carries against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4. He scored his first NFL touchdown on a 2-yard run in the third quarter, and he added two receptions for 23 yards on Sunday.
Bishop Sankey shows fantasy potential again in Week 4
Sankey was the best Titans rusher on Sunday, which wasn’t a surprise to many owners. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ken Whisenhunt didn’t give Sankey a carry until the start of the third quarter. Similar to last week, Sankey came on later in the game and stood out among the backfield. Starting running back Shonn Greene finished the game with three carries for 10 yards.
Fantasy impact: It’s still baffling to see the Titans hold Sankey back. They have nothing to lose and their offense looks terrible. Tennessee’s offense has scored a combined 34 points in the past three games.
Whisenhunt said last week that Sankey needed to improve his footwork. It doesn’t seem like footwork should keep a player on the sideline when he averages over 5.0 yards per carry, but here we are. Sankey needs to be owned in all 12-team or larger leagues. He’s still behind Greene but it would not be surprising to see that change soon.
