    So I was drafting late in a family FF league. Others are mostly in Midwest (Cowboys/Chiefs/Broncos fans). I took late round fliers on Cobb and DGB.

    It raised the question in my mind how much we'll actually see some Titan's play-makers and who it will be. I think Cobb will get goal line carries (when healthy) but I'm not sure because of Andrews. I think DBG SHOULD get a ton of targets but I don't know with Wright and Walker getting most and Douglas and Hunter vying for others. I know Whiz will spread it around.

    Are we going to have a "play-making" star or will Whiz keep running DMC, Hicks etc. It seems like we have so many "average" players that we spread the ball around too much too.

    Any thoughts? (And 95% sure I'll drop DGB/Cobb and add others as injuries to other starters arise.)

    Outside of Mariota, I don't think we have that guy on the roster this year. I hope it is DGB next year as I think he is the only skill position with that kind of talent.

    I was actually just thinking about this yesterday. We are in desperate need of a playmaker on the offensive side of the ball.

    Should always get back up players with elite established qbs ( Packers, Chargers, Patriots etc.) just my 2 cents tho.

    I'm hoping Kendall Wright can take the next step. Hopefully he'll have consistent QB play and will be Mariotas #1 target. Hoping Kendall can put up 1000+ yards & 6+ TDs.

    I feel DGB is going to be that guy IF he gets targeted. I have a sneaky feeling that Whiz is going to dissuade Mariota from utilizing one playmaker over another and if so, it's likely to be Wright.

    Wright and Walker will be go to guys on 3rd downs. Hoping DGB and Hunter can come along and stretch the field.

    Potential is the story of the Titans though. Always have a player with potential and it hasn't worked out well. Mariota at QB should help, if anyone else on offense can rise to the occasion.

    Yea Wright and Mariota are clearly buds on the field, they have that post route they can milk for yards.

    DGB isn't worth drafting in standard/PPR leagues, he's currently our 5th WR, last year we barely played our 5th WR.

    I know he's got a crap ton more ability than Derek Hagan, but still raw as WR's come... He wont start seeing significant playing time til mid-season IMO

    Nicks looked insanely slow after that catch against STL. I hope he can still provide depth. We need Hunter to step up.

    I don't do fantasy football, but if I did there would be very few Titans players on my team. Lol

    Only ones worth anything are Mariota, Wright and Walker.
