Denico Autry Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Titans DE Denico Autry (knee, illness) and LB Jack Gibbens (back) are active for today's game against the Texans. Neither is a high-level IDP, but both are available if needed. Autry's presence is particularly important for a D-line missing DT Jeffery Simmons. That absence makes it tough to like Tennessee's defense at any level for fantasy.

The Titans have ruled DT Jeffery Simmons (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Texans. It'll be the second straight missed game for Simmons, who has yet to practice since sustaining the injury. That casts doubt on his Week 16 status as well. Tennessee allowed 158 rushing yards to the Dolphins with Simmons out of the lineup last week. That plus Houston likely being without QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) add upside to Texans RBs Dameon Pierce and Devin Singletary. The Titans would be in even worse shape without DE Denico Autry. He's questionable with a knee injury after missing practice Wednesday and Friday (with a limited Thursday in between). We'll check Autry's status Sunday.

In another clear sign that the Titans are surrendering Thursday night's game to the Cowboys, the team announced Wednesday that basically the entire defense is out or doubtful. DT Jeffery Simmons, S Amani Hooker, EDGE Bud Dupree, LB Dylan Cole and LB Zach Cunningham are out. DL Denico Autry and CB Kristian Fulton are doubtful, which is really just a wishy-washy way of saying "out." LB Monty Rice, CB Roger McCready and S Andrew Adams like just about the only playable pieces for IDP leagues.

The Titans have ruled S Amani Hooker (knee), DL Denico Autry (knee) and CB Kristian Fulton (groin) out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. It'll be the 4th straight missed game for Autry and 2nd for Fulton. Hooker played the past 3 games, leaving early from last week's loss to the Jaguars. S Andrew Adams should get his 3rd straight game of starter-level duty in Hooker's absence. Adams has actually played 78% of snaps or more in 7 of the past 8 games, some with Hooker in the lineup and others without. Check the Week 15 IDP rankings for Adams' adjusted position.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Simmons has been playing through the ankle issue for weeks and managed 2 limited practices this week, so we'd bet on him playing. We'll certainly check his status Sunday morning. Tennessee has ruled DL Denico Autry (knee), LB David Long (hamstring) and CB Kristian Fulton (groin) out for the game.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. He managed limited practices all week, so we'd bet on him playing through an issue he's been dealing with for weeks. CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring) is also questionable. DL Denico Autry (knee) has been ruled out.

Titans LB Bud Dupree is inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. DL Denico Autry is active after arriving questionable.
