Tennessee Titans DST

Player Outlook
The Titans DST is not a strong Fantasy option heading into the season, and we don't recommend drafting the Titans DST in the majority of leagues. In 2024, Tennessee ranked 30th in points allowed at 27.1, and the Titans struggled against the run, ranking eight-worst in the NFL at 133.9 yards per game. Tennessee also had the fourth-fewest sacks with 32 and generated just 17 total turnovers (11 interceptions and six fumbles). The Titans have some quality players in Jeffery Simmons and L'Jarius Sneed, but the Titans DST has a lot to prove before Fantasy managers can trust this unit. At best, you can add the Titans DST off the waiver wire during the season.

  • Titans' L'Jarius Sneed: Returns to practice Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Sneed (quadriceps) passed his physical and returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Sneed started training camp on the active/PUP list due lingering quadriceps issues from last season. He was cleared to return Wednesday, and he'll likely participate in practices in a limited capacity to manage his quad injury. Sneed was limited to just five regular-season games for the Titans in 2024 and finished with 23 tackles (19 solo).

  • Khalid Duke: Works out with Atlanta

    Rotowire
    Duke (undisclosed) had a workout with the Falcons on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Duke spent the early part of the offseason with Tennessee before being waived with a non-football injury designation in mid-April. His workout Monday suggests he's back to health, though he remains a free agent for the time being. Duke played in two games with the Titans as a rookie last year, tallying one tackle over 22 total snaps (12 on defense and 10 on special teams).

  • Titans' T.J. Smith: Signs with Tennessee

    Rotowire
    The Titans signed Smith on Monday. Smith appeared in three regular-season contests with the Panthers last season, recording a pair of tackles. Signing at this stage of the summer would suggest Smith doesn't have a very realistic shot at making the 53-man roster.

  • Commanders' Daryl Worley: Signs with Commanders

    Rotowire
    Worley signed with the Commanders on Thursday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official team site reports. Worley has found a new home for the 11th time in his career, adding a veteran presence to Washington's training camp roster. The 30-year-old has appeared in 99 games with 64 starts, and spent last season with Tennessee, where he tallied 52 tackles and one interception. He will look to crack yet another 53-man roster in what will be a shortened training camp and preseason.

  • Titans' Anfernee Orji: Reverts to IR with Tennessee

    Rotowire
    Orji (knee) reverted to injured reserve with the Titans on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

  • Titans' Brian Asamoah: Claimed by Tennessee

    Rotowire
    The Titans claimed Asamoah from waivers Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Asamoah was let go by the Vikings on Tuesday, but he won't need to enter free agency to catch on with another team after the Titans were awarded the 2022 third-round pick off waivers. He mostly served in a special teams role for Minnesota in 2024 and finished the regular season with six tackles (four solo) and one forced fumble across 17 games. With the Titans waiving Otis Reese, Asamoah brings depth to Tennessee's linebacker corps, but special teams will be the latter's clearest path to earning a spot on the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August.

    Rotowire
    Tennessee waived Orji (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. It's not clear what kind of injury Orji is dealing with or when he picked it up.

  • Titans' Jeffery Simmons: Down 20 pounds

    Rotowire
    Simmons is reportedly 20 pounds lighter heading into the season, Buck Reising of AtoZ Sports reports. The three-time Pro Bowler is reportedly down 20 pounds from where he was at last season, but head coach Brian Callahan says there has been no loss of power. Coming off another successful season with 5.0 sacks and 11 tackles for loss, Simmons is expected to be the linchpin of a younger unheralded Tennessee defense.
