Adam Humphries

With 37 receptions for 374 yards, Adam Humphries is likely going to fall short of his career-best season from a year ago (76 receptions for 816 yards), but he has been contributing a bit more lately as compared to what he was doing in the beginning of the season.

Despite the fact that he hasn’t been putting up big numbers by any stretch (five catches for 56 yards), Humphries has found the end zone twice in the last three games, and one of those scores was a clutch, go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs.

Perhaps most importantly, Humphries has been helping to move the chains when he does get opportunities, which is one of the biggest reasons he was brought in here.

Of course, there will still be plenty of detractors that say Humphries isn’t earning the four-year, $36 million contract he signed with Tennessee this past offseason, but a lot of that has to do with offensive ineptitude and the Titans not using him properly or enough.

You also have to take into consideration that Humphries moved from a high-volume passing attack with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a run-first offense in Tennessee. When the Titans need yardage to get a first down, Humphries remains one of their best options to get it done.
