Titans vs. Ravens
Final Score: Ravens 24, Titans 18
Writer: Brett Ford
Tennessee Titans
Quarterback
Cam Ward: 20/31 Passing, 222 Yards, TD, INT | 4 Carries, 27 Yards
Cam Ward showed signs of development, leading his team on a decent comeback in the second half as the Ravens played possession football and allowed the Titans back into the game. He hyper-targeted his best pass catcher, Carnell Tate, something that fantasy managers have been waiting all season for. Perhaps it’s a sign of things to come. We can only hope.
Running Back
Tony Pollard: 16 Carries, 48 Yards, TD | 4 Targets, 2 Receptions, 2 Yards
Tony Pollard was his ho-hum boring self for most go the game, finishing with 3 yards per carry and without a 10-yard play on the ground or through the air. He did end up with a touchdown, capping a first-half scoring drive for his team. He remains the most unexciting starting running back in the NFL.
Tyjae Spears: 2 Carries, 7 Yards| 1 Target, 1 Reception, -1 Yards
Nicholas Singleton: 3 Carries, 2 Yards
Tyjae Spears has GOT to be still recovering from his injury, right? It was so promising in the first two weeks when he was getting almost the same amount of snaps as Pollard, but now he’s been reduced to 33% of snaps and it’s not looking near as fun.
Wide Receiver
Carnell Tate: 12 Targets, 9 Receptions, 145 Yards
BREAKOUT ALERT! Carnell Tate was on the field for nearly every offensive snap and was a clear alpha in this offense for the first time in the young season. Tate was excellent at creating separation against man coverage and excelled at finding soft spots in the defense when the Ravens switched to zone. It’s about time the Titans started getting Tate the ball, and this ought to be a pattern moving forward. It was one of the only successful parts of this offense, and one of the only highlights of the season for the 0-4 Titans so far.
Carnell Tate just had the breakout game Titans fans were waiting for.

Wan’Dale Robinson: 5 Targets, 3 Receptions, 19 Yards, TD | 1 Carry, 1 Yard
Eric Ayomanor: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 22 Yards
Chimere Dike: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 15 Yards
Calvin Ridley: 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 13 Yards
Outside of Tate, the rest of the Titans’ receivers were relatively pedestrian. Wan’Dale Robinson caught a touchdown pass, but there wasn’t much to celebrate behind Tate’s breakout.
Tight End
Gunnar Helm: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 5 Yards
Daniel Bellinger: 1 Target, 1 Reception, 2 Yards
Even if these guys were just one tight end combined, they wouldn’t be fantasy-relevant.
Baltimore Ravens
Quarterback
Lamar Jackson: 15/20 Passing, 222 Yards, 2 TD | 2 Carries, 20 Yards
Lamar Jackson was playing at an MVP-caliber level, but left at halftime and did not return with what appeared to be an ankle injury. Hopefully for Ravens fans, fantasy managers and the game of football, Jackson was held out because the Ravens were up by multiple possessions at the break. However, based on the postgame press conferences and social-media coverage, there’s a chance that Jackson could miss time moving forward.
Tyler Huntley: 8/9 Passing, 63 Yards | 4 Carries, 16 Yards
Tyler Huntley was a good enough game-managing quarterback for the Ravens as they nursed a three-possession lead throughout the second half. He did not lead the team on any scoring drives, but did enough to keep them on the field and keep the clock winding as the Ravens held on for a victory.
Running Back
Derrick Henry: 23 Carries, 73 Yards, TD | 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 6 Yards
This is the volume that fantasy managers are looking for. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the Ravens are 3-0 in games this season when Henry carries the ball at least 23 times? The ageless wonder pounded the Titans’ defense over and over for 3.2 yards per carry and smashed his way up the middle for a touchdown in the first half. With seven rushing touchdowns through four games, Henry continues to defy Father Time.
Justice Hill: 1 Carry, 3 Yards | 3 Targets, 2 Receptions, 22 Yards
Wide Receiver
Zay Flowers: 10 Targets, 8 Receptions, 118 Yards, TD
Zay Flowers continues to be the focal point of the Ravens’ passing attack, garnering nearly 35% of the target share in this offense. His target share has increased in each game he’s played this season, and has exceeded 25% in every game he’s played. Averaging over 100 yards receiving per game, Flowers has a real chance at competing with the Jaxon Smith-Njigbas and CeeDee Lambs of the league for the WR1 mantle this season.
Rashod Bateman: 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 46 Yards
Devontez Walker: 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 19 Yards
Elijah Sarratt: 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 13 Yards
Everybody else in this wide receiver room is an afterthought in this offense. It’s Flowers, a big gap, and then everyone else.
Tight End
Mark Andrews: 6 Targets, 5 Receptions, 27 Yards, TD
Mark Andrews was involved in the short -ardage areas for the Ravens, pulling in five catches for just over 5 yards per reception. Though the yardage isn’t what managers are looking for, at least Andrews was a first-read target in the red zone on his touchdown catch. The play was designed for Andrews to slip open in the back of the end zone, and Jackson did a great job in finding him for the score.

Matthew Hibner: 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 34 Yards
Matthew Hibner is slowly acclimating to the NFL game and finding his place in this offense, but for now, he’s just a footnote in the Ravens’ attack.
