McCluster sprained his MCL in the Week 11 loss to the Jaguars. He won't have a chance to take another shot at the divisional rival again, since he has yet to resume practicing. David Cobb and Antonio Andrews will continue to see the bulk of the backfield duties while McCluster is sidelined for a second straight week.
Fantasy impact: McCluster’s fantasy value revolved around other injuries and bye weeks across the spectrum of the league, and was likely only a factor in PPR formats and those that count return yardage. With Cobb likely to get more looks as the season progresses, the Titans backfield remains a committee approach, and not an especially effective one at that.
McCluster would only make for a desperate flex option upon returning to the field, and Andrews remains a low-end flex option for Week 13.
