Hurns suffered a concussion during Week 12's loss to the San Diego Chargers and subsequently missed all three practices in preparation for Sunday. The second-year receiver had to be hospitalized the day of the injury, and it is unclear how long he will remain in the NFL's concussion protocol. Marqise Lee and Bryan Walters soak up snaps in his absence.
Fantasy impact: Though Walters and Lee will get extended looks on Sunday, neither are viable fantasy options against a quietly capable Titans secondary. Instead, look for Allen Robinson to dominate the usage as usual, with Julius Thomas getting a chance to build on his best game of the season in Week 12.
With Hurns out of action, Thomas thrived, catching 9 of 10 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. Thomas and Robinson will be given TE1 and WR1 designations for Week 13, respectively. Hurns’ owners will have to keep him benched until good news surfaces.
