In The Blitz, RotoViz writers react to the latest news and help you place it within the context of our 2020 research and recommendations.
While the Titans may be 3-0 after squeaking out yet another nail-biter this Sunday against the Vikings, they got some less-than-encouraging news regarding second-year star A.J. Brown:
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) could wind up missing more time than originally expected. Brown has a “pretty significant knee bruise” and it hasn’t responded as well to treatment as the team had hoped. The original timeline had him listed as week-to-week, though it’s very possible that the team could be without the services of Brown for at least the next couple of weeks. It’s a gloomy outlook for fantasy managers who put their faith in the talented, second-year pro.
Brown’s electrifying finish to his 2019 rookie season turned the heads of drafters this year as he flew off the board early in almost all leagues. Here at RotoViz, we loved Brown all offseason too, with Samuel Wallace declaring him the best second-year receiver in the league. While Brown is by no means a lost cause for the season (he’s simply too talented not to produce), it is time to explore the Titans offense for more fantasy weapons outside of Derrick Henry. Perhaps the most intriguing guy is Corey Davis, the former first-round pick out of Western Michigan. And even though he’s likely let you down in the past, this year could be different.
