Fantasy start or sit Week 6: A.J. Brown, Dion Lewis, Titans D/ST

Should you start or sit Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown, running back Dion Lewis and/or the team's D/ST in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos? rnIf you have Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown, running back Dion Lewis, and/or the team's D/ST, should you start any of them in Week 6 versus the Denver Broncos?rnrnThe Titans offense struggled mightily in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. The team's pass-catchers were unable to get anything going through the air, which just further proved it's hard to trust Titans receivers at this point in the season.rnrnRunning back Derrick Henry once again dominated touches, and Lewis was rendered as unimportant once again.rnrnHowever, this matchup with the Broncos presents one that is very giving to running backs in fantasy football this season. With that said, can Lewis be trusted to start this week?rnrnFind out the answer to that question and more in this Week 6 version of start or sit.rnrn Note: Fantasy rankings are courtesy of Fantasy Pros and CBS Sports. rnrn[nextslide teaser="A.J.%20Brown" /]rnrn rnrn[caption id="attachment_71494" align="alignnone" width="3200"] CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 29: A.J.

Not only is he the team's leading receiver this season, but Brown's ability to have a good fantasy day with just one play also makes the most attractive play.rnrnRegardless, he isn't a good bet in Week 6. The Titans will head to Denver to take on the Broncos, a team giving up the fifth-fewest passing yards per game this season. Denver is allowing just 15.4 fantasy points per contest to receivers, the fourth-best mark.rnrnNot to mention, if Brown lines up in the slot, he'll be covered by one of the better slot cornerbacks in the NFL, Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr.rnrnBrown has shown us great things in two games, but almost nothing in the three others. Until we start seeing some consistency as a whole from this Titans passing attack, no Tennessee receiver is safe.rnrn[nextslide teaser="Dion%20Lewis" /]rnrn rnrn[caption id="attachment_73655" align="alignnone" width="3200"] NASHVILLE, TN - OCTOBER 06: Dion Lewis #33 of the Tennessee Titans runs with a pass reception during the second half against the Buffalo Bills at Nissan Stadium on October 6, 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Broncos are surrendering 6.2 receptions per game to running backs (seventh-most) and 21.8 fantasy points per contest to the position overall (sixth-most).rnrnThe problem is Lewis hasn't been able to exploit anything this season. In Week 5, Lewis had his best fantasy outing of the season, although that isn't saying much. The Titans No. 2 back totaled just four touches (two receptions) for just 30 yards.rnrnLewis' already limited touches behind Derrick Henry stand to get more sparse, also. Tennessee just added two new backs to the active roster in Rod Smith and Dalyn Dawkins, both of whom figure to challenge the unproductive Lewis moving forward.rnrnFor those of you still holding out hope or keeping him around as a handcuff, my advice to you is to let it go. Lewis is not going to produce anything this season and he'll be in a running back by committee even if Henry does get hurt. With major bye weeks approaching, don't waste a roster spot.rnrn[nextslide teaser="Titans%20D%2FST" /]rnrn rnrn[caption id="attachment_73154" align="alignnone" width="3200"] ATLANTA, GA - SEPTEMBER 29: Tennessee Titans members celebrates a defensive stop against Matt Ryan #2 of the Atlanta Falcons late in the fourth quarter of a game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on September 29, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)[/caption]rn Titans D/ST: Start rnThrough five weeks, the Titans are one of four D/ST's to be averaging double-digit points per week, which earns them the rank as the No. 4 D/ST this season. If there's anywhere the Titans have lived up to their billing in 2019, it's on defense.rnrnTennessee might not be forcing the turnovers they were during the early part of the season, but the defense is still notching sacks after getting four more last week. On top of that, the Titans are allowing just 15.2 points per game, ranking them as the No. 6 scoring defense in the NFL.rnrnAnother juicy matchup presents itself in Week 6, as the Titans travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. Quarterback Joe Flacco has been a turnover machine this season with four interceptions and three fumbles lost in five games.rnrnIf the Titans can get some pressure, hits on Flacco could lead to more fumbles, or the veteran quarterback could throw some picks. No matter how it happens, there should be plenty of opportunities for the Titans D/ST to score points in this one.
