Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) practiced fully for the 2nd day in a row on Wednesday. It seems the rookie is likely to play in Week 16's game vs. the Texans on Saturday. Burks has not played since sustaining a head injury in Week 13 vs. the Eagles. With rookie QB Malik Willis likely under center, Burks may not be particularly viable as a fantasy option this week. Additionally, the Texans rank as the 5th-most difficult matchup for WRs in adjusted fantasy points allowed. Burks' potential return to play is better news for Titans fans than fantasy managers.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) was listed as a full participant at practice on Tuesday. The rookie is trending toward being able to play in Saturday's game vs. the Texans at this rate. It will still be worth monitoring his participation today, however. Fellow rookie TE Chigoziem Okonkwo has stepped up in Burks' absence as a fantasy contributor, so there could be some ripple effects here. We'll keep an eye out.

Per insider Tom Pelissero, Titans QB Ryan Tannehill’s status is “in doubt” for Week 16. Tannehill played through another right ankle injury for parts of Sunday’s game against the Chargers, but it sounds like there’s a real chance he’ll miss Saturday’s matchup with Houston. If so, that’ll put QB Malik Willis back in the lineup vs. the same team he made his debut against in Week 8. The rookie is an easy avoid in season-long formats.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo led the team in targets (5) in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, catching 4 for 54 yards. He tied RB Derrick Henry for the reception lead and ranked 2nd in yards. The rookie has caught 4+ balls and cracked 50 yards in 3 straight games. He has matched or beaten TE Austin Hooper in targets for 4 weeks in a row.

Titans RB Derrick Henry delivered 104 yards and a TD on 21 carries in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. It marked his 2nd straight game over 100 yards and just his 2nd time reaching 20 carries among the past 7 contests. Henry also led Tennessee with 59 receiving yards Sunday, catching all 4 of his targets. It was his 3rd game with 3 receptions or more among the past 4. Henry gets the Texans in Week 16, a matchup he has exploited for more than 210 rushing yards in 4 consecutive meetings. After that comes a Dallas defense that allowed Travis Etienne to top 100 yards in Week 15.

Texans WR Chris Moore drew a team-high 9 targets in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. He caught 4 for 42 yards, both of which also led the team. TE Jordan Akins went 3-22-1 receiving on 6 targets. TE Teagan Quitoriano claimed the other TD reception from 8 yards out on his only catch. We'll see whether Houston gets WR Nico Collins or WR Brandin Cooks back for Week 16.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill injured his right foot or ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He made his way off the field but was eventually carted to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Tannehill has an ankle injury, the team announced. It's the same right ankle he hurt back in Week 7, forcing him to miss the next 2 games.

Update: Tannehill returned in the 2nd quarter.

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 WR Treylon Burks (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. That leaves Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee's top 2 WRs once again -- and keeps TEs Chig Okonkwo and Austin Hooper in play for fantasy lineups.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He now looks like a long shot to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. That'll keep Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine atop the WR depth chart -- and keep TE Chig Okonkwo in play as a fantasy spot starter.

Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) remained sidelined on Wednesday. The rookie still has a lot of progress to make in order to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Titans RB Dontrell Hilliard (neck) won't play vs. the Chargers this weekend, HC Mike Vrabel said Monday. We'll see if Hilliard misses time beyond Week 15. He's played a passing-down role for Tennessee this season, averaging 2.2 targets per game. His absence will give a slight boost to RB Derrick Henry's receiving projection.

Titans TE Chig Okonkwo caught a team-leading 6 passes for 45 yards and a TD on 6 targets in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. TE Austin Hooper and WR Robert Woods tied for 2nd on the team with 5 receptions apiece, in a game that saw QB Ryan Tannehill throw or 254 yards. WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine drew a team-high 8 targets but caught just 3. He did snag Tannehill's other TD.

Titans RB Derrick Henry rebounded from 4 straight down weeks for 121 yards and a TD on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Henry had averaged just 2.8 yards per rush across the previous 4 games, all against middling-to-poor run defenses. This performance will make it much easier to play Henry with confidence in high-upside matchups against the Chargers and Texans the next 2 weeks. Houston, in particular, has allowed Henry to rush for more than 210 yards in 4 consecutive meetings -- including Week 8 of this season.

Texans WR Chris Moore racked up 10 catches for 124 yards among 11 targets in Sunday's narrow loss at Dallas. He worked as the lead pass-catcher with WRs Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins both out. WR Amari Rodgers was the only other Texan with more than 3 targets. He caught 4 of 5 looks for 57 yards, including the team's only TD reception. We'll see about the status of Cooks and Collins for Week 15's home date with the Chiefs.

Titans RB Dontrell Hilliard is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a neck injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Hilliard's absence might mean more passing-down work for RB Derrick Henry.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.

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 QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice but a full-go on Thursday and Friday. The ankle shouldn’t be an issue on Sunday.

Titans TE Treylon Burks (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. That leaves Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as Tennessee’s top 2 WRs – and could mean more targets for TEs Austin Hooper and Chig Okonkwo.
