1. Adam Humphries, WR

People forget just how useful it is to have Adam Humphries on the field, so let me run through exactly what he has done on a per-game basis this season.

-Receptions per game: 3.7 (3rd behind Corey Davis and A.J. Brown)

-Catch percentage: 71% (3rd among Titans with double-digit targets behind Corey Davis and Anthony Firkser)

-Yards per game: 36.5 (3rd behind Davis and Brown)

Basically, any way you slice it he is the Titans’ third-best receiver in an offense that already features two guys who will be dangerously close to breaking 1,000 yards in Davis and Brown.

Right now Ryan Tannehill is making it work with Geoff Swaim as the conversion machine, but that makes life so much more difficult than it needs to be.

At the very least it gives the Titans another player to split out that you can trust to run precise routes and create space for Derrick Henry, run pick plays or give you a quick read on blitzes. All three of those would be great tools for this offense to have even on plays where he never catches a pass.
