Cameron Wake

While outside linebacker Harold Landry continues to put together an impressive season with six sacks (seven QB hits) and one pick, the Titans really need another pass-rusher to step up to make things uncomfortable for Patrick Mahomes in Week 10.

Edge rusher Cameron Wake has got to be that guy.

Ever since his 2.5-sack performance in Week 1, Wake has been awfully quiet. He has yet to take an opposing quarterback down since then, and he has totaled just four QB hits, also.

Part of Wake being able to make an impact this week will have to do with his snap count. Wake saw just 12 snaps last week, but should undoubtedly see more in Week 10.

The only way the Titans are going to slow down Mahomes is if they put pressure on him consistently, and having both Wake and Landry coming off the edge and creating havoc is the perfect way to get it done. If Mahomes is given all day to throw, the Titans will get crushed.
