Coming off a short week, the Tennessee Titans will likely be without starting wide receiver Kendall Wright, who suffered a sprained MCL back in Week 8 Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wright, the team's leading wide receiver up until his injury, put up 28 receptions for 343 yards and three touchdowns in the first seven games of the year.
With Justin Hunter lost for the season, this means continued play for rookie Dorial Green-Beckham. The second-round pick has seen increased playing time since these injuries went down.
And while he's coming off a zero catch performance against the Carolina Panthers, the expectation here has to be that Green-Beckham will receive a nice amount of targets Thursday night against the Jaguars.
Remember, Green-Beckham is just one game removed from putting up five receptions for 77 yards in a surprise win against the New Orleans Saints.
Though, the major impact here has to be the number of targets Delanie Walker will receive on Thursday. Since Wright went down with an injury, Walker has caught 16 passes on 18 targets for 209 yards and two touchdowns in three games.
Despite already missing a game due to injury this season, Walker is the eighth-best fantasy tight end on the season. He's also catching a whopping 80 percent of the passes thrown in his direction on the year. This makes him a legitimate TE1 Thursday and moving forward this year.
