PLAYERS: Jake Locker,  Kenny Britt,  Kendall Wright,  Nate Washington,  Jared Cook
TEAMS: Tennessee Titans
Jake Locker, QB, Tennessee Titans Player Profile Height/Weight: 6-3/234 Birthdate: 6/15/1988 School: Washington FANTASY FOOTBALL ANALYSIS Jake Locker suffered through an injury filled 2012, being shelved for a 5-game span mid-season and really never got a groove going.

The good news though, if you want to call it that, is that Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster has said that he believes Locker will be ready for the minicamps which are in June. Locker is decked out with some really solid wide receiver targets in Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright and Nate Washington as well as tight end Jared Cook. But can he stay healthy enough to utilize the weaponry that he has at his disposal? That question really can’t be answered yet as seeing will be believing.

Chris Johnson’s goal to out rush Peterson is misguided

Via The Penalty Flag  |  March 04, 2013
Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson has made it his goal to out rush Adrian Peterson’s single season rushing record of 2,097 yards in 2013. But why?

2013 Tennessee Titans franchise tag analysis

Via Total Titans  |  March 03, 2013
Last offseason, I wrote an analysis of which Titans might be franchise tag candidates.
