Yo, you watch Monday Night Football? You came out of that thinking that everything is fine and dandy with the Colts, right? Good! I'm hoping everybody thinks this team is a full-blown dumpster fire to drive down ownership levels. People will still invest, but I'm hoping it won't be enough as is warranted in a matchup like this one.
The Tennessee Titans finished 2014 ranked 30th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. The only teams worse were Washington and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's not great, Bob.
Now, if we look at 2015's stats, the Titans rank 14th in that same category. That's not too bad at all! But, alas, it turns out there is a problem with basing decisions off of a two-game sample size.
The two quarterbacks the Titans have faced this year are Jameis Winston -- who was making his NFL debut -- and Johnny Manziel. After Week 2, Manziel currently sits 15th in Passing NEP per play. That should do two things: show you how dumb it is to bench him for Josh freaking McCown and show you that this Titans defense can still be exploited. That's especially true when Andrew Luck and the Colts roll through.
While the depressed ownership may apply to Luck, it's not going to slide over to Donte Moncrief. The thirst is real for this little dude, as it should be. Landing 19 targets through two weeks for only $6,000 on FanDuel and $4,800 on DraftKings is a dream come true. I'm all about that life in cash games, but I'm also willing to pivot to T.Y. Hilton in tournaments.
Because of the injury concerns with Hilton and his general ineffectiveness Monday, there aren't going to be a whole lot of people on Hilton. However, he has had a week to recoup, he still got seven targets when he was hobbled, and the matchup is just as good for him as it is Moncrief. I don't want to touch Hilton in cash, but I think he's mighty intriguing in tourneys.
