Whose the pickup…evans?

I assume so, McNichols will stay in the 3rd down back role, doesnt seem like much of a runner

 

[TREFF]

Whose the pickup…evans?

Titans trade for R. Stevenson

Whose the pickup…evans?

I think he is on IR

 

[SmokingMonkey]

I think he is on IR

Yup, 2nd time this yr, it's the McNichols show!

 

[Shanemansj13]

we'll see, soft division, could easily see Henry needing 2 months and being back at the end of season/playoffs

Yeah the Colts are heating up. We will see.

Yeah the Colts are heating up. We will see.

Too many mistakes from Wentz still, they should've buried the titans yesterday after jumping out to 14pt lead

 

[TREFF]

Well there's still AP, and Gurley sitting out there as FA's, and yes, Alf and various other sloths

potential trade targets- Gordon, maybe Hunt?, anyone on the Texans, a whole string of the standard retread journeymen types, Hyde, L. MIller..etc..


Titan's entire offense is centered on a strong rushing attack, and there's every possibility that without one, they go into the tank for the remaining nine games. At 6-2, they've gotta be thinking about making a strong run, surely they won't rely on Jeremy McNichols....right? If that's the case, so long AJ Brown and and Tranny as reliable fantasy assets as well.

O-line is good, so whoever they get will be okay, but won't be King Henry.

It could be Adrian Peterson.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Von Miller to the Rams.

They continue to shed picks like they are old dirty pennies, defense should get some pressure on QBs with Miller and Leonard Floyd coming in hot on both sides of Donald

an "okay" running game might be good enough if we were talking about a QB who was more than "exceedingly mediocre" (or worse). But Tranny's entire success story is playing of Henry's dominance. whiteout that, the whole thing likely rockets right off the rails. You make a trade for a better than average RB (Gordon), you've got a shot with a good O line and Tranny. you pin your hopes on some random dude like McNichols, or virutally any free agent left available at this point, yeah sure, your run game can be mildly productive, but good enough that Tranny can get those wow plays to AJ Brown and Julio? I have my doubts

Funny, they just did a deal sending Kenny Young to the Broncos from the Rams...why didn't they just do this then?

 

[Shanemansj13]

A ton of season ending injuries this past week. Holy shit.

I just mean the RB from an FF perspective. This hurts the Titans a lot.

Opportunity for Tannehill, Jon Robinson and Vrabel to really earn their money.

 

[averagejoe]

Saw a blurb the Titans are signing AP.

It would be cool to see more Frank Gore.

 

[wilwhite]

Looks like Henry could be back late in the season.

Very late in the fantasy season.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Titans signed RB Adrian Peterson.​

Peterson will be signed to the practice squad and then elevated to the active roster. Derrick Henry is undergoing foot surgery that will likely sideline him through the end of the regular season. The Titans' only other running back on their roster is Jeremy McNichols, who has gotten some run on third downs this year. He will likely play an expanded role with Henry out but Peterson projects to earn the bulk of the early-down snaps once up to speed. Peterson ran for 604 yards at a sluggish, 3.9 yards per carry for the Lions last year. Prior to that he spent a pair of seasons in Washington and ran well despite playing on a poor offense. The Titans should shift toward passing more often now that their star running back is gone but don't expect them to lose their identity as a run-heavy team. Once integrated into the offense, Peterson should be able to put up RB2/3 numbers as the recipient of loads of carries on an efficient team.

funny thing, is gordon has never been better than average, hes been a volume guy. Even in his 1 and only year he had 1k rushing yards, he avg 3.9 ypc His end game numbers look good, in a vacuum. But diving into his metrics shows a woefully mediocre at best rb. He may be the best available. I agree with everything else you said. Not sure who they can get
