Tennessee Titans Roster 2019 Titans Roster

8-5, 1st AFC South

vs HOU

6:00 pm GMT, 12/15

Finishing third in the AFC South but with a record far better than what you might be used to from them (9-7) the Titans will look to earn a playoff berth this year. Their main upgrades in free agency came in the form of both offensive and defensive linemen to tighten up the ship. After Brian Orakpo retired at the end of last season, the Titans needed to bring in another edge rusher who could fill his shoes and are hopeful they have just that in Cameron Wake. Will this year be a repeat of the Titans falling just short of a playoff spot or will they push through and emerge victorious amidst a tough AFC South?

Top 3 Titans Roster Questions of 2019-2020

What can we expect from Marcus Mariota this season?

Despite finishing at a record of 9-7 last season, the Titans' offense still wasn't very strong. They ranked 27th in points/game and 25th in yards/game which is unusual for a team that missed the playoffs by one game. Mariota was thought to be QB18 in fantasy circles before last season and ended up dropping to QB23 by the time the season was over. Him being injured and missing two games certainly didn't help his cause, but it seems like he has a real shot of a breakout season this year. His completion percentage was up last year but his QBR still fell short of his 96.6 he earned in 2016. This will be his fifth season with the Titans and in the NFL, so it's likely that what we see from him this year will be what he'll ever be capable of achieving as an NFL QB.

Will the Titans D stay a top 10 defense in the NFL this season?

Despite losing Orakpo to retirement in the offseason, I still think the Titans will put out a very strong defense this year. Since their offense doesn't have a track record of being very strong, they will need their defense to be elite if they want a chance at grabbing a playoff spot. Malcom Butler will be coming off his best season to date in which he ranked second in forced incompletion rate in red-zone coverage. Jurrell Casey will be a part of the Titans again this season. He recorded an impressive 44 pressures last year, so getting him back was huge for the Titans. Overall, the defense looks very similar to how it did last year, so I don't see it slipping out of the top 10.

What's different offensively for the Titans this season?

First off, the Titans signed Adam Humphries from Tampa Bay who will be lining up alongside Corey Davis and A.J. Brown. This gives Mariota an additional solid target to throw to which will be big in improving upon the struggling offense from last season. On top of this, Corey Davis improved greatly last year from his rocky rookie year. He finished 30th overall in first down receptions with 42. He'll likely continue to improve as he gets set for his third year in the NFL. RB1 Derrick Henry averaged 4.9 yards per carry last year, but seemed to be on a steady upward trend as the year progressed. Hopefully for the Titans he'll get out to a hot start and maintain that throughout the year.
