Tennessee Titans wide receiver Dorial Green Beckham was expected to see more playing time heading into Week 9. Interim coach Mike Mularkey delivered on his promise on Sunday.
Dorial Green-Beckham leads Titans in targets Week 9, deserves waiver wire consideration
Dorial Green-Beckham was heavily involved on Sunday. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

Green-Beckham saw 68 percent of the team’s offensive snaps on Sunday. As a result, he caught five of 10 targets for 77 yards. Green-Beckham didn’t find the end zone, but his targets, receptions and yardage were all career-highs for the rookie wideout.
The Titans ultimately secured a win over the New Orleans Saints. At 6'5, 237 pounds, Green-Beckham is a physical mismatch that the Titans will need to continue utilizing in their offense.
Fantasy impact: It wasn’t quite a breakout performance from Green-Beckham, but his 10 targets deserve attention. The Titans clearly want to get him opportunities and should continue to do so.
It's worth noting that the Titans are without wide receiver Kendall Wright (knee), who is expected to return in Week 10. Still, it's possible that Green-Beckham becomes a WR3 for fantasy owners moving forward. Until then, he should be stashed in more leagues. He's owned in just 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
