We'll wrap up our dynasty football overview series today. Our last AFC team to cover is the Tennessee Titans.

Quarterbacks

Cameron Ward is the team's new starting quarterback, and he has no competition for the starting role with Will Levis out for the season. Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle are backup options instead.

Ward isn't a top-10 dynasty quarterback to me, but he could make that list someday.

The 23-year-old has enough talent around him to make a difference in his rookie season. I don't think he'll be this year's Jayden Daniels, but I think he could at least become a streaming option in standard leagues.

Ward's best value is in dynasty/keeper leagues. He's a good third quarterback, and could be startable in deeper leagues or two-QB setups here and there.

Levis is just 26 years old, but he'll have an uphill climb to get back to fantasy relevance after this injury. He could use a change of scenery, but I just don't see him becoming a big-time fantasy asset anymore. Only roster him if you can stash him on an IR spot, and in deeper setups.

Boyle is 30, while Allen is 32, meaning neither are good dynasty assets. Allen has a tiny bit of value because he's the likely QB if Ward were to get injured or struggle. 

Running Backs

Tony Pollard is still the team's starter, and he'll be backed up by Tyjae Spears, Julius Chestnut and rookie Kalel Mullings. None of them are near my top-10 dynasty list, and it doesn't seem super likely that any of them ever get there.

Pollard is 28, so his dynasty value is starting to fall off. He had 1,317 total yards and five scores last year, so he's a sell-high candidate if you aren't a contender. Pollard is a solid second or third back on a contending team and will definitely help out this season.

Spears is 24 years old, but is coming off a season in which he missed five games and regressed a bit. Seeing as he hasn't won the starting job yet, his long-term value isn't all that high.

He's still worth rostering in dynasty leagues, and he could be a nice asset on a contender or a rebuilder. You could look to sell Spears high at some point, or hold on to him and hope he eventually gets the chance to be a top back for a team. Rostering him to protect against a Pollard injury makes a lot of sense to me.

Mullings is 22 years old and is going on 23 already. He was the team's sixth-round pick this offseason.

He doesn't have a super high dynasty value, but he's worth rostering in some leagues as a lottery ticket. All he needs is an injury to be able to carve out a role, and it could lead to bigger things in the coming years, so keep tabs on Mullings.

Chestnut got in 17 games last season, but only had 113 yards, and failed to score. The 24-year-old hasn't shown much over his first three years in the league, and he could be a cut candidate as a result. I doubt he'd take on a big role with another team, so he's just a lottery stash by rebuilding teams in the deepest of leagues. 

Wide Receivers

Calvin Ridley is the team's top receiver. Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson are the other projected starters, but rookie Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike could push them for snaps and targets. Bryce Oliver and Xavier Restrepo are a couple more young wideouts on the roster.

None of them are on my top-10 dynasty list, but I could see Ayomanor on it some day.

He and Dike were both fourth-round picks. Dike is 23, while Ayomanor is 22, so you can see why I like Ayomanor more. He had a short, but productive college career, and I thought he was overlooked in the draft process. We'll see if he can prove some people right and become a legit starting wideout in the NFL.

Ridley is 30, so he's too old to ever get on the top-10 dynasty list. He had 1,072 yards and five scores last season, so he's capable of helping teams in the short term.

He's only worth rostering on contending teams though. Luckily, he's got some good value to cash in on now. If you think he'll be better with Ward at QB, maybe waiting until Ridley posts a couple good showings could help you sell him for a bit more, but you also risk him struggling and being less valuable.

Lockett is 32 years old, while Jefferson is 29. They are depth options capable of producing a bit while Tennessee builds up its rookies and pass-catching options. Both are only worth rostering by contending dynasty squads, but are more depth options than starting threats right now.

Burks is going into his fourth season, and has just 765 yards and a score over 27 games. He only played five games last year and is expected to miss a big chunk of this season.

Burks could have a bounceback season, and will be able to replace Lockett or Jefferson if he's looking good. He's unlikely to contribute a ton this season, and will have an uphill climb to build his dynasty value. He's only 25, but after a big injury, he's a risky dynasty asset. Treat him as a lottery option, not someone who you expect to contribute for several more years.

Oliver is 25 years old and going into his second season. He played 10 games last year, totaling 95 yards. With the other wideout talent the team added, I don't see Oliver having a big role, and he could end up being cut. He's got very little dynasty value, and that's unlikely to change, even with a change of scenery.

Restrepo was an undrafted rookie this offseason. The 23-year-old put together big college stats, so many are expecting him to make the team and maybe become a big part of the offense in time.

He's one of the few undrafted rookies who I'd say are worth stashing in some dynasty leagues. Restrepo is a lottery ticket, but at least keep an eye on him.

Tight Ends

Chig Okonkwo is the team's starting tight end. Rookie Gunnar Helm, David Martin-Robinson and Josh Whyle are depth options.

Okonkwo and Helm are decent options, but not near my top-10 dynasty list right now. 

Okonkwo is 25 years old (nearly 26), and has at least 450 yards and six combined scores over his first three years in the league. He has some dynasty value, especially with a new QB in town, but he's more a secondary option.

Adding Helm to the mix is a negative for Okonkwo as well. Helm was a fourth-round pick and was a good option in his final year of college, so there's a chance the 22-year-old (nearly 23) becomes something in time.

Helm is more of a stash-and-hope prospect than someone you can expect big things out of this season. If the Titans move on from Okonkwo eventually, then Helm could definitely become a good fantasy asset.

Martin-Robinson and Whyle are 25-year-old players, but are just depth options. Neither have very good dynasty values, and that's unlikely to change, even if they were starters and playing more snaps.
