The Tennessee Titans’ receiving corps remains one of the biggest question marks the team has going into 2022, so it’s no surprise the unit was ranked poorly by Pro Football Focus.
According to PFF’s Ben Linsey, the Titans have the No. 26 receiving unit in the NFL going into 2022, landing in the ‘could be strength or weakness’ tier.
The Titans moved on from A.J. Brown and Julio Jones this offseason and replaced them with Robert Woods and rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks. Jones is no longer the player who was perennially in the conversation for best in the NFL, but he’s still a strong starting option when healthy (76.8 PFF receiving grade in 2021). And Brown is one of the best, young receivers in the league.
Woods was a productive receiver for the Rams since joining the team in 2017, but there’s risk involved with relying on a 30-year-old coming off a midseason torn ACL as your new No. 1 option. Similar concerns can be voiced for Burks given his role at Arkansas and lack of experience outside and against press coverage. Those pieces could come together — hence the inclusion in the “could be a strength or weakness” tier — but it’s far from a sure thing.
