Winner No. 3: Khari Blasingame

While Lewis’ productivity in the offense has decreased, Khari Blasingame was utilized more than he had been previously.

The rookie out of Vanderbilt had two catches for 47 yards in this game, both of which went for first downs. In fact, he had the second-most receiving yards for the Titans in Week 14.

The first catch was a beautiful grab made near the sideline over former Titans linebacker and Bussin’ With The Boys co-host Will Compton on the second drive of the game. That play went for 24 yards and helped set up the Titans’ first touchdown of the game.

The second was a check down by Tannehill where Blasingame would take it 23 yards up to the Tennessee 34-yard line, which helped pave the way for the touchdown that put the Titans ahead for good.

The Titans had not used a true fullback since waiving Jalston Fowler in 2017, so seeing them bring Blasingame onto the team in November was a bit of a head-scratcher, but with his performance on Sunday, he will likely be utilized more in the passing game, and maybe even the running game.
