Tight Ends (4): Jonnu Smith, Anthony Firkser, MyCole Pruitt, Geoff Swaim

Jonnu Smith is vastly underrated as a tight end. He will be the starter here, and he has a few capable backups behind him.

Firkser and Pruitt return as solid depth pieces. Recent FA signee Geoff Swaim should make the team as well. Swaim has shown more pass-catching ability than Pruitt, but Pruitt is an excellent blocker.

Something to keep an eye on this season will be the usage of Firkser vs Pruitt. We all know that they two are opposites, with Firkser being a more finesse receiver with soft hands and Pruitt being a run-blocking specialist who is a player more likely to get the ball on a trick play than to be a consistent target.

With some depth questions at wide receiver, will the Titans give more snaps to their wideouts or will they use Firkser or Smith as a makeshift “jumbo slot” receiver in 2020? That would be a subtle, but important shift in the Titans being a more versatile and aggressive team.
