2026 Fantasy Football Overview for the Tennessee Titans

Silly "numbers" and "analytics" say Cam Ward was quite bad in 2025, but the No. 1 overall pick still managed to make a throw or two per week that showed off his tantalizing upside. New OC Brian Daboll was a bit of a mixed bag in New York, but the team's improvements in the playmakers department can only help what has been one of the league's most talent-barren offenses in recent years.

Tony Pollard is the incumbent lead RB, and plenty would be surprised to learn that he totaled 1,288 scrimmage yards and 5 TDs last season. Still, he’s 28 and hasn’t been as explosive in recent years. It wouldn’t be surprising if Tyjae Spears continues to steal plenty of pass-down work, while former five-star recruit Nicholas Singleton at least has the physical tools to be more interesting than your typical Day 3 rookie.

Bad players don't earn 140 targets in back-to-back seasons … and now the Titans have 70 million reasons to feed ex-Giant Wan'Dale Robinson—the reigning WR17 in PPR points per game–another fantasy-friendly target share. Of course, Carnell Tate was selected with the No. 4 pick in the draft and could feasibly lead the passing game from Day 1. There's also at least some reasonable optimism for a healthy Calvin Ridley. Expecting major fantasy-friendly fireworks from anyone here is probably wishful thinking, but credit to the Titans for making some serious improvements to this group ahead of 2026.

Chig Okonkwo took his talents to Washington in free agency, positioning rising second-year talent Gunnar Helm as the lead dog in Tennessee. The Texas product didn't exactly put up big counting numbers (44-357-2) as a rookie, but his underlying marks in yards (1.45, 24th) and especially targets per route run (22.4%, 9th) were encouraging. Helm will be a preseason rankings riser should something close to a full-time role reveal itself.

Tennessee Titans Utilization Notes 

Wan'Dale Robinson notched a career-high 13.5 PPG last season. He was always a strong target earner, but it was mostly of the dink-and-dunk variety. His aDOT was 5.1 in 2024. That jumped to 9.1 in 2025. That dramatically improved his air yards per game from 40 to 74. He reunites with Brian Daboll, who will call plays for the Titans in Year 2 for Cam Ward. His history with Daboll and a four-year $70M contract with $38M guaranteed suggests a near-full-time role. Robinson projects as a borderline WR3 who could outperform his draft position if Ward improves.
