Fantasy impact: Teammates Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey aren’t exactly lighting it up for the Titans. The team hasn’t had a real running game since Chris Johnson departed a while back.
As a team, the Titans are young and still developing, so there’s no reason for the coaching staff not to take a chance on Andrews. He only rushed for 64 yards on 16 carries against the Houston Texans last week, but this week’s matchup against New Orleans is a little bit more forgiving.
Fantasy owners in deeper leagues who need to take a chance on somebody with upside can go ahead and pick up Andrews. If he got 16 carries in a game before being announced as the workhorse in Tennessee, one would have to think he would get at least 20 this week and really get a chance to strut his stuff.
