Wide Receivers

The Titans wide receiving corps has been an interesting development this year. Coming into the season, second-year receiver A.J. Brown was expected to take on primary responsibilities and rank among the best in the league after his wonderful rookie season. However, Brown has not seen the field in the last two games after getting injured in the first game against the Broncos.

Yet, the Titans have been getting solid production from the rest of the receiving corps. While in past seasons the weakest link has often been their receiving corps, the Titans have maxed out the talent and leveraged each receiver with their strengths.

Corey Davis has started out the season strong with 19 receptions and a touchdown while Adam Humphries also has 20 receptions and a touchdown. Despite missing Brown, the Titans have been able to find production deep in the receiving corps.

Kalif Raymond had a terrific game against the Vikings with a three catch, 118-yard outing while Cameron Batson has seen a few targets.

The Titans have been able to deploy their receivers in unique situations. Raymond has given the team a downfield, big-play threat with his speed while Humphries has given the team a reliable third-down target. Davis gives Tannehill a big target and solid route-running ability. When the team returns Brown, they will have a solid four-man rotation for the rest of the season.

Davis, who has struggled to be the primary option, has flourished so far as the second option in the offense. Tannehill and Davis have clearly worked on their chemistry this offseason and seem to be more in sync. If Davis can continue to develop his ability to win 50-50 balls, then this offense should find more reliability as the season progresses.

Wide Receiver Grade: A
