Note: While a big part of fantasy football research is trying to assess how players will do when they go to a new team, it’s also critical to get a handle on what the old team is doing to replace those players. It’s an opportunity for players to step up and fill the void. In this series, we’ll examine six teams that had key departures this offseason and must find new ways to replace key fantasy production.
One of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL has a lot to make up for in its receiving game.
The Tennessee Titans lead the NFL this offseason in vacated target percentage by a wide margin. The totality of the passing pie in Nashville isn’t all that big—the team has been bottom 10 in passing attempts and top 10 in rushing attempts each of the last three seasons—but a huge chunk of it is there for the taking after A.J. Brown was traded, Julio Jones was released and Anthony Firkser left in free agency.
