There are three Tennessee Titans players you should consider getting into daily fantasy football lineups in Week 6.

In a Week 6 matchup with the Denver Broncos, there are three Tennessee Titans players you should consider getting into your daily fantasy football lineups.

We know, we know, Titans player are kind of taboo in fantasy football as a whole this season, which certainly continues a trend that has been going on for years now.

However, the Broncos do present some holes for the Titans to exploit. As a result, there are three Titans to make an argument for in daily fantasy this week.

Let’s take a look.

RB Derrick Henry: (DK – $6,100)/(FD – $6,700)

If there’s one Titans player you can actually be confident in on a weekly basis, it’s Derrick Henry.

While his numbers the past few weeks might not blow you away, his volume will. Henry has totaled 47 carries over the past two weeks, and his opportunities to break one of his customary big runs should be plentiful again in Week 6.

The Titans and Broncos are two solid defensive teams, thus this game should be close and game script should remain in Henry’s favor. It’s also important to note that the Broncos are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to running backs per week this season.

Titans D/ST: (DK – $2,900)/(FD – $4,700)

Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco has been a turnover machine in 2019. The veteran QB has totaled seven turnovers by himself, with four of them coming from interceptions and three from fumbles (he also recovered a fourth fumble).

The Titans have five interceptions as a team, tied for the fifth-most in the league, and their 17 sacks are tied for the third-most. The Titans should be able to get pressure and hits on Flacco, which should lead to some mistakes and turnovers for Tennessee to exploit.

Sleeper: TE Delanie Walker (DK – $3,700)/(FD – $5,200)

It is true, the Broncos have been tough on tight ends in fantasy this season. Denver is tied for the seventh-fewest points allowed per game to the position (5.2).

However, when you consider Denver’s opponents and their respective tight end situations, it isn’t as simple as “don’t start a tight end who is playing the Broncos.”

After a Week 1 matchup with one of 2019’s best tight ends in fantasy, Darren Waller of the Oakland Raiders (7 REC, 70 YDS), the Broncos have seen the likes of tight ends from the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers.

None of those teams sport particularly good tight ends, whether it’s because of injury or simply a lack of talent at the position. I expect Tennessee’s offensive coordinator to get Delanie Walker more involved after two quiet weeks, leading to a bounce-back game for the talented veteran tight end.
