The Tennessee Titans are heading into the upcoming season with high expectations of winning, as owner Amy Adams Strunk made significant changes by firing coach Mike Vrabel after 6 seasons. Vrabel, despite winning 2 AFC South titles, struggled in his final games. The Titans have brought in new offensive coach Brian Callahan, and GM Ran Carthon has invested heavily in free agency to support QB Will Levis. Observing Houston’s success with a new coach and rookie QB, the Titans aim for a quick turnaround.
The team has welcomed new faces including coordinators Nick Holz and Dennard Wilson, as well as notable players like WRs Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, and CBs Chidobe Awuzie and L’Jarius Sneed. However, they had key losses such as QB Ryan Tannehill, RB Derrick Henry, and CB Kristian Fulton. Despite this, the Titans are optimistic about their deep receiving group, led by DeAndre Hopkins, and a more diverse running game without Henry.
One of the weaknesses the team faces is adjusting to a backfield with no Henry and a revamped offensive line under Bill Callahan. The defense, which struggled with interceptions last season, will look to Dennard Wilson to boost the secondary. Camp developments show players like Nicholas Petit-Frere and Dillon Radunz stepping up in key roles.
In terms of fantasy, all eyes will be on QB Will Levis, who showed promise in his rookie season and now has a strengthened offensive lineup to work with. The Titans are considered underdogs by BetMGM Sportsbook, with odds of 150-1 to win the Super Bowl and an over/under win prediction of 7 games for the season.
