Malik Willis expected to sit Thursday for Titans
Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis is not expected to start Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.
What It Means:
The Titans are expected to start Josh Dobbs at quarterback to ensure Willis' health for their Week 18 showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thursday night's game against the Cowboys is inconsequential, but next week's matchup will determine who wins the AFC South and who is left out of the playoffs. Derrick Henry (hip) is not expected to play either.
numberFire's models project Dobbs for 10.5 FanDuel points on Thursday, with 183.2 passing yards and 10.2 rushing yards. The Cowboys have the sixth-best pass defense in our adjusted team rankings and they are allowing the ninth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the quarterback position this season.
