Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is out for Week 16 against the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Tannehill reportedly could be done for the season if his ankle requires surgery. Malik Willis will start in place of Tannehill on Saturday. Based on prior performance this season, Willis is a downgrade for the Titans' pass-catchers. Expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry against the Texans.
Among the 53 quarterbacks with at least 40 drop backs this season, Willis ranks dead last in Passing Net Expected Points per attempt. Tannehill ranks 16th in that group. The Texans are surprisingly allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks this season, but their pass defense is No. 22 in numberFire's adjusted teams metrics.
