The Tennessee Titans were certainly not on my radar until news broke of Teddy Bridgewater's gruesome injury. The Minnesota Vikings did trade for Sam Bradford, but have already indicated that Shaun Hill could still be the starter for Week 1 as Bradford learns the playbook. Regardless of whether it ends up being Bradford or Hill, Tennessee is worthy of a look because of how one-dimensional Minnesota figures to be.

Hill hasn't started a game since 2014 and owns a 85.2 career passer rating. He's thrown 49 touchdowns over his 10-year career but has nearly as many turnovers as touchdowns with 30 interceptions and 15 fumbles. If you need any reasoning to not be inspired by Hill, just look at how much the Vikings gave up to go get Bradford.

In Week 1, Bradford or Hill will spend much of their time handing the ball off to Adrian Peterson, but when the Vikes do throw, the Titans' defense should be in a good position to produce.

The Titans ended 2015 as a defense to target in fantasy football, but before losing linebacker Derrick Morgan midway through the season, the Titans were an above-average unit, even spending time ranked as a top-10 defense, according to numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics. Somewhat surprising for a 3-13 team, the Titans recorded 39 sacks in 2015, tied for 12th-most in the league.

Against either Bradford or Hill, the Titans defense is in position to have a productive Week 1 outing.
